[Hiring] Senior IT & Corporate Engineering @Flex

Role Description

This role owns IT and corporate engineering at Flex, end to end. It reports directly to the CTO.

We think IT's job is enablement. The measure of this function is not how many tickets it closes or how many controls it can point at. It is whether everyone else at Flex can do their work faster and more safely than they could last quarter.

• A new hire productive on day one instead of day four.
• An engineer who gets exactly the access they need in minutes, without asking twice.
• A team that can adopt a new tool because someone reviewed it properly.

We are not looking for a gatekeeper, or for someone whose default answer is no. The right person makes the safe path the easy path, and removes friction permanently instead of absorbing it repeatedly.

This role also owns Flex's corporate security posture. Identity, access, endpoints, and the SaaS estate are one system. You'll set conditional access and MFA policy, own privileged access and endpoint posture, and run third-party OAuth and Workspace grant review.

The rest of the work has two halves:

• The IT half includes fleet, identity, access, the SaaS estate, and the joiner/mover/leaver process.
• The corporate engineering half involves writing automation and internal tooling.

You'd be inheriting an estate here, not starting one. The first year is as much untangling what has already accumulated as it is building what comes next.

This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role, not a management role. If you're looking to build and lead an IT organization right now, this isn't that job.

What You'll Do

• Own IT and corporate engineering end to end: the roadmap, the budget, the vendor relationships, and the outcomes.
• Manage our external IT partner as delivery capacity.
• Design the joiner, mover, and leaver process and the entitlement model behind it.
• Administer and improve our identity and productivity stack (Okta, Google Workspace, and the SaaS estate around them).
• Own operational policy: device standards, the access-request workflow, and SaaS onboarding and procurement review.
• Build the automation for provisioning, access reviews, asset and license reconciliation.
• Run the endpoint and MDM program across a distributed, increasingly international company.
• Own Flex's corporate security posture.
• Design and deliver the security awareness and training program.
• Partner with our security engineers.
• Work closely with People, Finance, and Legal.
• Be a real internal service.

Qualifications

• You think IT exists to make other people effective.
• You write code (scripts, integrations, and glue).
• You'd rather fix the process than get faster at the workaround.
• You hold both sides of this honestly.
• You're comfortable being the only person in a function.
• You build the self-service paths that let people get what they need.
• You can hold a vendor accountable without turning the relationship adversarial.
• You can explain technical constraints clearly to people who don't share your background.

Requirements

• Substantial hands-on experience owning IT or corporate engineering at a growing company (roughly 6+ years typical).
• Deep, hands-on ownership of an identity provider (Okta, Entra, JumpCloud, or similar).
• Practical experience running Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 as a platform.
• Real MDM and endpoint experience across macOS, and ideally Windows.
• Automation ability in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar).
• Experience designing an access model and running access reviews.
• Real ownership of identity security decisions.
• Track record managing an outsourced IT provider or MSP.
• Clear written communication.

Benefits

• Build something generational—Capture the full lifecycle of money for ambitious business owners.
• Work on real money, real risk—Payments, credit, and banking at serious scale.
• Solve hard problems—AI, underwriting, compliance, and global finance from first principles.
• True ownership—Small teams, high trust, real accountability.
• Founder-level exposure—Direct access to leadership, customers, and investors.
• High bar, high taste—Move fast without cutting corners.
• Elite peers—People here are builders, not tourists.
• Real upside—Meaningful equity if you help build something big.
