About The Position

Virtuous is hiring an IT Systems & Automation Engineer to help build and scale the internal systems that power a distributed, cloud-first organization. This role combines Enterprise IT, automation engineering, AI enablement, and security operations to improve how the business operates, scales, and adopts AI-enabled workflows across the organization. We believe IT should function as an engineering discipline focused on scalability, automation, security, and organizational enablement, not simply reactive support. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys improving systems, reducing operational friction, and helping teams move faster through thoughtful technology, automation, and AI-enabled workflows. Reporting to the Director of IT & Security, you’ll design and automate workflows across identity and access management, endpoint management, SaaS operations, onboarding/offboarding, and internal enablement systems. Success in this role is measured by scalable systems, reduced operational friction, strong security posture, and the organization’s ability to move quickly and securely.

• Strong generalist experience across endpoint management, SaaS operations, identity and access management, operational security, and distributed workforce enablement.

• Hands-on experience managing and integrating platforms such as Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Entra ID / SSO platforms, MDM solutions, ITSM tooling, and asset management systems.

• Experience leveraging AI-assisted tooling and workflows to improve automation, operational efficiency, internal enablement, documentation, or organizational productivity.
• Familiarity with modern security and compliance tooling including EDR, vulnerability management, endpoint compliance, conditional access, identity governance, and operational controls supporting frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, or GDPR.
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and problem-solving skills across endpoints, SaaS systems, enterprise workflows, and cross-functional environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement automation across onboarding, endpoint management, SaaS administration, and internal workflows.

• Administer endpoint management platforms across macOS and Windows environments.
• Manage core enterprise SaaS platforms, identity systems, RBAC models, and secure access workflows.
• Design scalable remote-first IT operations that support a highly distributed workforce.

• Maintain audit-ready inventories, access controls, and operational documentation.
• Participate in incident response, remediation, and operational security efforts.
