IT Systems Engineer

Job summary

Responsibilities

We’re looking for an IT Engineer to design the systems behind how people at Baseten get access, stay secure, and move through their time here. This role builds the controls and automation that our IT Operations team runs every day across identity, client platforms, SaaS, and cloud access.

• Strengthen our identity platform with strong authentication, clean access models, and least privilege as the default.
• Automate the workforce lifecycle so that joining, changing roles, and leaving Baseten are fast, consistent, and need little manual work.
• Build reliable pipelines for OS updates, patching, and software deployment that keep the fleet current without disrupting people’s work.
• Connect device health to access decisions, so a compliant device is what earns access to sensitive systems.
• Recommend identity and security standards for our SaaS and AI tools, and make the secure configuration the easy path for teams adopting new ones.

What they're looking for

• 5+ years in IT engineering or corporate security engineering, ideally at a cloud-native company.
• Strong grounding in identity: SSO, MFA, provisioning, and the protocols behind them.
• Hands-on experience engineering macOS fleets at scale: MDM, configuration profiles, app packaging and deployment, and endpoint visibility and EDR tooling.
• Experience automating real workflows in code (Python, Bash, or similar), and comfort with infrastructure-as-code.
• A working understanding of SaaS and cloud access risks, and how to reduce them without blocking the business.
