Responsibilities
Identity & Access Management
Okta Architecture: Own the configuration and management of the entire Okta environment. This includes defining global session policies, MFA rules, and sign-on policies to balance security with user experience
Okta Workflows: Go beyond standard assignment groups by building complex Okta Workflows to handle unique edge cases in provisioning and de-provisioning
Lifecycle Automation: Fully own the code and logic (across Okta, Python, and n8n) that handles Onboarding, Offboarding, and Name Changes, ensuring a "zero-touch" experience for IT staff
Integrations & Automation Architecture
Workflow Orchestration: Manage and expand our current automation stack (Python & n8n). You will maintain existing workflows and architect new logic to connect disparate SaaS tools
API Development: Design and build robust API integrations between critical platforms (e.g., Workday, Okta, Salesforce, Slack, Jira) to ensure data integrity
Custom Tooling: Write and maintain Python scripts for tasks that require logic too complex for standard no-code tools
Endpoint Management & Security
Security Posture: Implement and enforce conditional access rules (linking Okta + MDM status) and compliance standards across all endpoints
Patch Management: Automate update schedules and compliance reporting to ensure our fleet remains secure without disrupting end-user productivity
AI leader
AI Integration: Identify opportunities to inject AI (LLMs) into our n8n workflows (e.g., intelligent ticket routing, automated content generation)
Governance: Help define the "Rules of the Road" for AI usage within the company, creating policies that protect data privacy while encouraging innovation
Adoption: Act as the subject matter expert, vetting new AI tools and training internal departments on how to leverage AI to speed up their specific workflows
Mentorship & Operations
Team Leadership: Mentor the Junior Systems Admin, delegating routine maintenance tasks while teaching them best practices in identity management and API scripting
Documentation: Create clear, technical documentation for the Okta policies, integration architectures, and scripts you build
Qualification
Required
5+ years of experience in IT Engineering with a focus on Cloud/SaaS environments (No on-prem mindset)
Deep experience managing Okta tenants. You must understand Okta Workflows, Group Rules, Policy Frameworks, and SCIM provisioning. (Okta Administrator/Consultant certification is a strong plus)
Strong proficiency in Python (for custom scripts) and n8n (or similar workflow orchestration tools)
Hands-on experience creating configuration profiles and compliance policies in Jamf Pro and Microsoft Intune
You must be comfortable reading API documentation, working with REST/JSON, handling webhooks, and troubleshooting authentication methods (OAuth, Bearer tokens)
You get frustrated doing the same task twice and immediately look for a way to script it
You are actively keeping up with the AI landscape (OpenAI, Anthropic, Local LLMs) and understand how to apply them to business problems
You enjoy teaching others and performing code reviews to help junior team members grow
Preferred
Okta, Okta Workflows, Google Workspace
