[Hiring] Staff Systems Engineer @Beacon Software

Role Description

You'll build and operate the foundational systems stack that runs Beacon and its portfolio. This is a hands-on role on a small, flat team. You'll co-design the architecture and help build it: identity, endpoint, access, write the automation, ship the integration. You're a builder who happens to think like an architect, and you're energized by being close to the systems rather than one layer removed from them.

Key Responsibilities

• Help build the foundational systems from the ground up.
• Shape and mature the core stack: identity, endpoint management, permissioning and access architecture, networking, corporate security, and the SaaS layer.
• Own architecture and execution, not handing off to someone else to implement.
• Automate the integrations by stitching together HRIS, identity, finance, CRM, ticketing, and the rest of the stack.
• Design durable integration patterns (event-driven, webhook-based, API-first), write the glue code, and ensure systems communicate reliably.
• Get creative with solutioning using the right technology for the problem.
• Partner with the Senior TPM and the Integrations team during portfolio company acquisitions.
• Co-write runbooks, architecture decision records, and documentation that outlast any single person on the team.
• Establish standards that portfolio companies can adopt to make future integrations faster.

Qualifications

• 10+ years building and operating corporate engineering, IT, or systems infrastructure at growth-stage or multi-entity companies.
• Deep hands-on experience with identity, SSO, SCIM, MFA, and modern access architecture.
• Experience owning MDM, endpoint security, and device lifecycle (macOS primary, Windows secondary).
• Comfort writing code: scripting, automation, infrastructure-as-code, API integrations.
• Track record of building things that others can operate; documentation and standards are part of the job.
• Comfort operating without process; ability to create structure in ambiguous environments.
• Bias for action; preference for shipping over scheduling meetings.

Bonus Points

• M&A or multi-entity integration experience.
• Hands-on with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or SOX ITGC programs.
• AI-native workflow experience used in real production.

Our Values at Beacon Software

• Humility: Acknowledge that the path to the right answer involves being wrong along the way.
• Honesty: Truth-seeking in our approach to business problems; trust is earned over a lifetime.
• Hunger: Play to win; hold ourselves to high standards and take pride in our responsibilities.
• Horizon: Seek to build a generational software company, managing expectations for compounding growth.
