Senior IT Systems & Network Engineer
About The Position
Lyte is building perception systems that combine custom silicon, sensors, and software for robotics, mobility, and next-generation automation. As the company grows, its internal technology environment must become more secure, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective without adding unnecessary complexity. This role will help turn a growing IT environment into a well-controlled, supportable operation. You will work directly across identity, endpoints, Linux systems, cloud infrastructure, networking, security, vendors, and compliance. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who can identify a problem, make a sound technical decision, and carry the solution through implementation.
Requirements
- Demonstrated ownership of Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Intune environments, including identity lifecycle management, MFA, Conditional Access, RBAC, Exchange, SharePoint, or Teams
- Hands-on administration and troubleshooting of Linux systems, including hardening, patching, access controls, monitoring, and availability
- Experience configuring and supporting enterprise networking, firewalls, segmentation, switching, VPNs, and remote access
- Ownership of mixed macOS, Windows, or Linux endpoint environments using platforms such as Intune, Jamf, EDR, encryption, and vulnerability-management tools
- Evidence of independently delivering infrastructure or security projects from problem identification through implementation, documentation, and operational handoff
- Working automation experience with Bash, PowerShell, Python, or a comparable scripting language
- 12 or more years of experience
Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

- Strengthen the company’s identity and endpoint security by improving controls across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, Jamf, MFA, Conditional Access, RBAC, encryption, patching, EDR, and vulnerability remediation.
- Improve infrastructure reliability and supportability across Linux systems, firewalls, office networks, VPN access, cloud services, storage, backups, and business-continuity capabilities.
- Reduce avoidable cost and manual work by improving visibility into cloud, SaaS, licensing, compute, and storage spend and by automating high-value IT and security workflows using Bash, PowerShell, Python, or similar tools.
- Ensure systems are more secure, better documented, easier to operate, and less dependent on individual knowledge.
