[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @Akido

Role Description

Akido's Global IT team is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to lead the design and engineering of our identity, endpoint, and cloud infrastructure platforms. This is a design-and-build role with an automation-first mandate:

• Architect the platforms the company runs on.
• Develop the automation that operates them.
• Set the standards that keep them consistent as we grow organically and through acquisition.
• Define infrastructure and configuration as code.
• Build controls that produce their own evidence.
• Design routine operational work out of the system rather than absorbing it.
• Serve as a technical leader and mentor to IT engineers across the United States, India, and our affiliated medical groups.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong written communication; this role produces standards and documentation that others rely on.
• 8+ years in enterprise IT infrastructure, platform, or systems engineering.
• 5+ years hands-on with Microsoft Entra ID at enterprise scale, including Conditional Access, authentication methods, privileged roles, and enterprise applications.
• 4+ years engineering Microsoft Intune at scale, including configuration and compliance policy, targeting strategy, Autopilot, update rings, and application deployment.
• 5+ years with Azure or AWS.
• 5+ years automating against platform APIs, including Microsoft Graph, in PowerShell, Python, or a comparable language.
• 3+ years of production Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform, OpenTofu, Bicep, or ARM.

Requirements

• Own the Microsoft Entra ID identity platform, including Conditional Access, authentication methods, MFA, and application and workload identity governance.
• Engineer privileged access for least privilege, with just-in-time elevation, scoped administrative roles, and emergency access.
• Automate the identity lifecycle end to end, and make single sign-on and automated provisioning a repeatable standard for application onboarding.
• Establish cloud governance across accounts and subscriptions, including landing zone design, network architecture, RBAC, secrets management, centralized logging, and cost visibility.
• Define cloud and platform configuration as code, with peer review and deployment pipelines.
• Lead tenant, domain, and directory consolidation as new entities join, and retire inherited legacy environments.
• Own Microsoft Intune configuration, compliance, and targeting strategy, and its integration with Conditional Access.
• Build and maintain unattended production automation against platform APIs, with appropriate logging, monitoring, and failure alerting; use operational data to find and automate repeatable or bottlenecked work and measure the results.
• Partner with Security and Compliance to engineer controls that produce their own audit evidence, and plan rollouts and remediation to fail safe under change control appropriate to a clinical environment.
• Author enforceable standards, runbooks, and architecture decision records, and provide technical guidance and mentorship to IT engineers across the US, India, and our affiliated medical groups.

Benefits

• Stock-options package
• Health benefits include medical, dental and vision
• 401K
