About the RoleYou'll help build and operate the systems that run Beacon, working alongside our Staff Corporate Engineer. It's a hands-on role on a small team. You'll own real pieces of the stack, identity, endpoint, access, and the SaaS layer, while the staff engineer sets the broader architecture and you learn the parts you haven't done before.
This is a good fit if you've spent a few years in corporate engineering or IT, you're comfortable writing code, and you want to build directly instead of managing tickets in a big, layered org.
Key Responsibilities- Build and operate the core stack. Beacon's IT and Systems function is early, so you'll help build it out: identity, endpoint management, permissioning and access, networking, corporate security, and the SaaS layer that runs the business. You'll own well-scoped pieces end to end.
- Keep the systems healthy. Own the day-to-day operation of the tools you build: access reviews, lifecycle, patching, and the unglamorous work that keeps a stack reliable and secure.
- Use the right tool for the problem. Lean on automation, AI tooling, and modern infrastructure where it makes sense rather than defaulting to manual work.
- Document what you build. Write the runbooks and architecture decision records that outlast any one person on the team. The next person is faster because of the work you did.
What We're Looking For- 5+ years in corporate engineering, IT, systems, or a related hands-on infrastructure role
- Solid working knowledge of identity, SSO, SCIM, and MFA, with a real appetite to go deeper on modern access architecture
- Hands-on experience with MDM, endpoint security, or device lifecycle (macOS primary, Windows secondary)
- Comfortable in a terminal and willing to script; you don't need to be a software engineer
- You ask good questions, then go figure things out
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action
Bonus Points- M&A or multi-entity integration experience
- Familiarity with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or SOX ITGC
- AI-native workflow experience used in real work
