About the role
About Mytra
We’re creating an entirely new way to solve the most ubiquitous problem in industry - moving and storing material. We’re applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market. We’re focused on the supply chain industry first. The industry is in a massive bind with the continued growth of e-commerce, sharp rise in costs, and supply chain disruptions. What has been a “sleepy” industry for decades is now at the epicenter of sustaining the global economy.
About The Role
As an IT Systems & Automation Engineer (SSO/IAM) at Mytra, you will help build and run the identity, access, and automation foundation that keeps our teams productive and our systems secure. This role sits at the intersection of:
- Identity and access management (IAM): SSO, SCIM, MFA, lifecycle automation, role-based access
- SaaS and systems integrations: connecting business systems with reliable, auditable workflows
- IT operations: endpoint fleet administration, onboarding/off-boarding, security baselines, and incident response fundamentals
You will work closely with People Ops, Finance, and Engineering to scale our internal tooling and access model.
What You’ll Do
- Own and evolve SSO + SCIM across our SaaS stack (provisioning, de-provisioning, group/role mapping, and access reviews).
- Build and maintain automation for joiner/mover/leaver workflows, including policy-driven access changes and audit-ready logging.
- Implement and maintain integrations between key systems (e.g., identity provider, HRIS, finance tools, ticketing/work tracking), ensuring reliable data flow and clear ownership.
- Administer core IT services (Google Workspace and SaaS administration, device management/MDM, password/MFA policies, baseline security controls).
- Partner with stakeholders to define least-privilege access models, troubleshoot access issues, and improve the overall employee experience.
- Create and maintain IT documentation and run books in Notion, and drive adoption through clear communication and training.
Ideal Candidates
- Have 5+ years of experience in IT systems administration, IT engineering, or IT automation, with clear ownership of production systems.
- Have hands-on experience with a leading SSO/IAM provider (e.g., Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping, Google Workspace SSO) and strong fundamentals in SAML/OIDC, SCIM, and MFA.
- Have strong MDM/endpoint management experience (e.g., Jamf, Kandji, Intune, Rippling MDM), including fleet onboarding, policy enforcement, and troubleshooting.
- Have experience building and maintaining integrations and automation using tools like Zapier, Workato, Make, and/or direct API-based workflows.
- Have strong automation skills (scripting and APIs). Comfortable building tooling in Python and/or Bash, using webhooks, and working with REST APIs.
- Can balance security and usability, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and operate with strong attention to detail.
- Are comfortable working in a fast-changing environment, prioritizing well, and owning outcomes end-to-end.
Nice To Have
- Experience with Rippling (identity and device management) or similar HRIS-anchored IT tooling.
- Familiarity with compliance and audit workflows (e.g., SOC 2 access controls, evidence collection).
- Experience supporting engineering-adjacent workflows (SSO for internal tools, integrations with work tracking, or basic infrastructure automation).
