IT Engineer, Sr

Qualcomm•San Diego, CA

About The Position

We are seeking an experienced DevOps Engineer – SaaS Applications to administer, integrate, and scale our enterprise SaaS ecosystem. This role is responsible for the day-to-day operations of business-critical SaaS platforms (such as Slack, GitHub, Atlassian, and similar collaboration and productivity tools), including user lifecycle management, identity federation, automated provisioning, and platform integrations. The engineer will design and operate secure, automated workflows that connect SaaS tools with internal systems, enabling reliable access, governance, and developer productivity at scale. The ideal candidate brings strong hands-on experience with SaaS administration, identity and access protocols (SAML, OAuth, SCIM), Slack platform engineering, and CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions, coupled with proven expertise building integrations between SaaS platforms and enterprise systems.

Requirements

Proven experience administering enterprise SaaS applications at scale (Slack, GitHub, Atlassian, Okta, or similar).
Strong hands-on experience with identity and access protocols — SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, and SCIM provisioning — including troubleshooting federation and token flows.
Demonstrated experience implementing and operating SCIM-based user provisioning between an IdP (Okta, Azure AD/Entra ID, Ping) and downstream SaaS applications.
Strong experience as a Slack administrator (Enterprise Grid preferred), including building Slack apps, workflows, and API integrations.
Proven experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines using GitHub and GitHub Actions, including reusable workflows, environments, and secrets management.
Solid knowledge of REST APIs, webhooks, and integration patterns for connecting SaaS platforms with enterprise systems.
Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar).
Working knowledge of Linux systems and cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively across engineering, IT, and security teams.
3+ years of IT-related work experience with a Bachelor's degree OR 5+ years of IT-related work experience without a Bachelor’s degree.

Nice To Haves

Experience with identity providers such as Okta, Azure AD/Entra ID, or Ping Identity, including custom SAML/OIDC app onboarding.
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi) and SaaS providers (GitHub, Slack, Okta, Atlassian).
Familiarity with secrets management platforms (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, GitHub OIDC for cloud auth).
Experience with GitHub Enterprise administration — organizations, SAML/SCIM, branch protection, GitHub Apps, and audit log streaming.
Understanding of security compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, SOX) and how SaaS controls map to audit requirements.
Experience with event-driven automation platforms (e.g., n8n) or serverless integration patterns.
Exposure to container-based workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) and ephemeral GitHub Actions runners.
Experience improving developer and end-user adoption of SaaS tooling through automation, self-service, and usability improvements.

Responsibilities

Administer enterprise SaaS applications (e.g., Slack, GitHub Enterprise, Atlassian suite, Okta, Zoom) including configuration, licensing, role management, and platform health monitoring.
Own end-to-end user lifecycle management — onboarding, role/group changes, offboarding, and access reviews — across the SaaS portfolio.
Implement and maintain SCIM provisioning between the corporate identity provider (IdP) and downstream SaaS applications to automate account creation, updates, and deprovisioning.
Configure and operate SAML and OAuth/OIDC single sign-on integrations; troubleshoot federation, token, and authorization issues across SaaS platforms.
Define and enforce least-privilege access models, group/role mappings, and entitlement policies aligned with security and compliance requirements.
Serve as the technical owner for Slack Enterprise Grid administration — workspace governance, channel management, retention, DLP, and compliance exports.
Build and maintain Slack apps, bots, workflows, and integrations using the Slack API, Bolt framework, and Workflow Builder to streamline internal operations.
Manage Slack Connect, guest access, and external collaboration policies in line with corporate security standards.
Monitor Slack usage, audit logs, and Enterprise Key Management (EKM) events to support security and incident response.
Design, build, and operate integrations between SaaS platforms and internal systems (Jira, Github, Artifactory, Confluence) using REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven architectures.
Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate deployment of SaaS configurations, integration code, and infrastructure-as-code for SaaS governance.
Implement configuration-as-code practices for SaaS platforms (e.g., Terraform providers for GitHub, Slack, Okta) to enable versioned, auditable changes.
Automate routine SaaS operations — access requests, group memberships, license reclamation, and audit reporting — using Python, Bash, or similar scripting.
Partner with Security, Compliance, and Engineering teams to define standards for SaaS integration, secrets management, and API governance.
Troubleshoot complex SaaS, identity, and integration issues across hybrid cloud and on-prem environments.
Support audit, compliance, and security reviews by providing evidence from SaaS access controls, provisioning workflows, and integration logs.
Create and maintain clear documentation, runbooks, and architectural designs for SaaS platforms and integrations.
Provide tier-2/3 support for SaaS-related incidents and partner with vendors on escalations.
