About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE You'll help build and operate the systems that run Beacon, working alongside our Staff Corporate Engineer. It's a hands-on role on a small team. You'll own real pieces of the stack, identity, endpoint, access, and the SaaS layer, while the staff engineer sets the broader architecture and you learn the parts you haven't done before. This is a good fit if you've spent a few years in corporate engineering or IT, you're comfortable writing code, and you want to build directly instead of managing tickets in a big, layered org. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Build and operate the core stack. Beacon's IT and Systems function is early, so you'll help build it out: identity, endpoint management, permissioning and access, networking, corporate security, and the SaaS layer that runs the business. You'll own well-scoped pieces end to end. - Keep the systems healthy. Own the day-to-day operation of the tools you build: access reviews, lifecycle, patching, and the unglamorous work that keeps a stack reliable and secure. - Use the right tool for the problem. Lean on automation, AI tooling, and modern infrastructure where it makes sense rather than defaulting to manual work. - Document what you build. Write the runbooks and architecture decision records that outlast any one person on the team. The next person is faster because of the work you did. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 5+ years in corporate engineering, IT, systems, or a related hands-on infrastructure role - Solid working knowledge of identity, SSO, SCIM, and MFA, with a real appetite to go deeper on modern access architecture - Hands-on experience with MDM, endpoint security, or device lifecycle (macOS primary, Windows secondary) - Comfortable in a terminal and willing to script; you don't need to be a software engineer - You ask good questions, then go figure things out - Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action BONUS POINTS - M&A or multi-entity integration experience - Familiarity with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or SOX ITGC - AI-native workflow experience used in real work Our Values at Beacon Software - Humility: We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time. - Honesty: We are truth seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe that human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant. - Hunger: We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected. - Horizon: We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth. How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process: To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Beacon Software uses Artificial Intelligence and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role.   AI does not make hiring decisions: Every application is reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate.
