[Hiring] IT Engineer @LiveKit

Role Description

This is an engineering role with a support component, not the other way around. The bulk of the job is building and owning systems:

• The identity model in Okta
• Endpoint baselines in Workspace ONE
• Governance across Google Workspace and the wider SaaS estate
• Automation that determines how much manual work IT has to absorb

You'll also carry escalations and some direct support — at our size there's no clean wall between the two, and the person in this role needs to stay close enough to the queue to know which problems are worth engineering away.

You'll work in an Okta, Workspace ONE, Google Workspace, and Slack stack, partnered closely with Security, Engineering, People, and Finance. Internal systems are in audit scope for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI, so the controls you build have to hold up under an auditor's review, not just function day to day.

You'll thrive as an IT Engineer if you:

• Obsess with crafting code that is fast, reliable and practical for the problem
• Are known as the go-to person for tackling tough technical problems
• Work hard and can build and ship fast
• Can clearly explain complex technical concepts to others
• Are a fast learner, frequently picking up new languages and tools

Qualifications

• 4+ years in IT engineering, IT operations, systems administration, endpoint engineering, or identity engineering — ideally somewhere fast-moving and remote-first
• Administered Okta or a comparable identity provider as the owner: SSO, groups, app assignments, lifecycle workflows, real access management decisions
• Hands-on with modern MDM — Workspace ONE or equivalent — including provisioning, configuration enforcement, patching, encryption, and inventory
• Strong Google Workspace administration and genuine macOS endpoint depth
• Built or meaningfully improved operational workflows, automation, reporting, or internal controls — not just operated someone else's
• An excellent writer. You can explain a technical decision clearly, document a system so the next person doesn't have to reverse-engineer it, and keep stakeholders informed without burying them
• Strong ownership and judgment. You can prioritize under ambiguity and you build things that reduce future work rather than adding to it
• You want to stay hands-on. This is an individual contributor role, and the work is building and operating systems, not managing people who do

Requirements

• Experience supporting security and compliance work — SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, access reviews, audit evidence, or control implementation
• Fluency with device security posture: EDR, disk encryption, patch compliance, vulnerability management, access hygiene
• Scripting and automation with Bash, Python, Google Apps Script, Okta Workflows, or raw APIs
• Experience designing IT processes that work across time zones for a globally distributed team, including the particular joy of international hardware logistics

Benefits

• An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world
• Work alongside world-class engineers building in the open
• Competitive salary and equity package
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Flexible vacation policy
• Remote work environment with the equipment you need
