About the role
About Bilt
Bilt is the membership for where you live. What started as a way to reward people on their largest expense has turned into an ecosystem connecting our members, property managers and local merchants. Travel, dining, fitness, everyday spend. We are building systems across payments, credit, loyalty, and commerce all at once. We run lean and move quickly. Every person here has a real impact on what gets built and how fast it happens. This role comes with real ownership and high expectations. If you prefer clearly defined lanes and structure, this will feel uncomfortable. If you want to build quickly, have a real say in what gets built, and work on products used by millions, you will likely do your best work here.What’s the role?
We’re hiring an IT Operations Specialist to help build out our employee-facing IT functions. This is a foundational role: you’ll be responsible for the systems and processes that keep our team productive, and you’ll have real latitude to improve how things work. Today, that means handling access requests, managing hardware, supporting AV systems, and onboarding new employees. But we’re not looking for someone who just wants to work a queue – we want someone who sees a manual process and thinks about how to automate it, who notices patterns in requests and builds documentation or tooling to address them, and who wants to grow into deeper technical work. You’ll be part of our IT team and work on-site daily at our NYC headquarters, partnering with teams across the company. This role includes some on-call availability as needed.In this role, you will…
