About The Position

This is a founding role on Peregrine's Business Technologies team. You will be responsible for designing and building internal infrastructure, focusing on automation and scalability across identity, SaaS, and cloud platforms. The work is engineering-first, involving workflow automation, system integrations, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and tooling that operates at company scale. You will partner directly with IT, Security, and various business teams (Marketing, Finance, Sales, Legal) and will have the autonomy to set architectural direction. The goal is to apply the same rigor and scalability used in customer-facing products to the company's internal systems. While IT support is part of the role, the primary focus is on building a platform that minimizes support issues.

Requirements

• 10+ years in systems engineering, IT engineering, or a closely related infrastructure role with a focus on automation and software engineering.
• Experience partnering with internal business teams (Finance, GTM, HR, Legal, Security) to translate business needs into scalable systems and integrations.

• Solid working knowledge of MDM platforms such as Jamf and/or Intune, including policy management, scripting, or automation.
• 2+ years of experience with Microsoft 365 and Azure, AWS, or a comparable cloud/SaaS infrastructure environment.
