IT Systems Engineer

Join Kikoff, a fast-growing startup, as our first dedicated IT Systems Engineer. In this role, you will be responsible for managing our corporate IT infrastructure, improving our overall corporate security, and building and maintaining internal AI-powered tools. You will work directly with the engineering and security teams and have a significant impact on the company's operations.

• Stand up AI-powered internal tooling, own corporate identity foundation, and improve overall corporate security.
• Manage and evolve the corporate IT infrastructure, including SaaS stack (Okta, Google Workspace, Slack).
• Operate and mature the MDM stack (Rippling/Jamf/Kandji), enforce Okta Device Trust policies, and ensure endpoints meet security baseline.
• SaaS stack management: tool inventory, vendor renewals, access governance
• Proficient using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex or similar) as part of your daily workflow
• 4+ years in systems engineering, corporate IT, or a hybrid IT/security role — ideally at a startup
• Hands-on MDM experience (i.e., Rippling, Jamf, Kandji) — enrollment, policies, smart groups, zero-touch provisioning
• Okta administration: lifecycle management, device trust policies, group rules
• Proficient in scripting and building software — bash and Python at minimum. Expected to own automation scripts and internal tooling
• Deep macOS fluency: shell/Python scripting, configuration profiles, and hands-on MDM troubleshooting
• Experience building or operating MCP servers or LLM agents
• Exposure to AWS IAM or cloud infrastructure
• Familiarity with security concepts: least privilege, zero trust endpoint posture, log forwarding, DLP basics
• Experience with device trust architectures (Okta Device Trust, CrowdStrike, or similar)
• Built internal tooling from scratch — provisioning workflows, self-service automations, or agent-driven ops
