[Hiring] Director of IT Engineering @Proof

Role Description

Proof is the world's first identity-assured transaction management platform and we are on a mission to digitize trust for all of life’s most critical transactions. Developed by the same market leaders and experts who brought notarization online with Notarize℠, Proof offers trust in a digital world by verifying identities and securing transactions to protect businesses and their customers.

Proof's IT function is evolving from a reactive, ticket-driven help desk into a modern IT Engineering team, applying an engineering mindset to managing the corporate systems our employees rely on every day.

We're now hiring a Director to lead the next phase: building durable engineering practices, mentoring the team, and setting a multi-year strategy for how Proof manages its corporate technology stack with rigor.

As our Director of IT Engineering, you will:

• Lead and grow the IT Engineering team as a hands-on player-coach — pairing, reviewing work, and unblocking the team, not just directing from above.
• Mentor and level up the team as they move from a traditional IT/sysadmin skill set toward an engineering-first operating model, coaching on infrastructure-as-code, automation, and CI/CD practices.
• Own the strategy and roadmap for Proof's corporate technology: identity and access management, productivity tools, endpoint management, SaaS/vendor management, and IT procurement and budgeting.
• Champion the adoption of AI and agentic tooling to further reduce manual toil and ticket volume.
• Partner closely with InfoSec leadership on identity, access, and compliance.
• Bring a root-cause, data-driven approach to support — tracking ticket trends and metrics to prioritize the highest-leverage fixes rather than just closing tickets faster.

Qualifications

• 10–15 years of experience across IT, systems administration, DevOps, or corporate/business technology engineering.
• Deep, hands-on experience with Okta (required), across all aspects of its configuration.
• Google Workspace experience strongly preferred.
• Experience building "IT as code" practices: Terraform or similar IaC, CI/CD, and GitOps workflows applied to corporate SaaS systems.
• A track record of reducing ticket volume and manual toil through automation and root-cause fixes, not just faster triage.
• Experience mentoring or providing technical leadership to mid-level IT analysts.
• Comfort operating as a hands-on IC on a small team while also setting strategy — this is a working leadership role, not a purely managerial one.
• Familiarity with security and compliance fundamentals, and genuine enthusiasm for close partnership with InfoSec.
• Curiosity about and early adoption of AI/agentic tools for operational efficiency.
• A strong communicator who can translate between technical execution and the needs of stakeholders across the business.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Life insurance, long and short-term disability coverage.
• 401k Plan with a 4% match, beginning on your hire date.
• Unlimited Sick and Vacation time.
• 14 paid company holidays.
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
• 4 week sabbatical after 5 years of continuous full time employment.
• Health Reimbursement Arrangements for fertility and gender affirmation.
• Lunch on Proof through Grubhub credit.
• Monthly work from home stipend.
• Professional development credit.
• Monthly reimbursement for Wellness.
• And more!
