Summary

Join StrongDM's IT team as an IT Engineer and contribute to a secure and efficient cloud infrastructure. You will manage corporate cloud infrastructure using IaC tools, create automation scripts, collaborate on designs and architecture, build scalable systems, and continuously improve IT tools and processes. Provide support to the IT helpdesk and internal users. The ideal candidate possesses experience in cloud service provider environments (AWS, GCP, Azure), Terraform, macOS/Windows/*nix system administration, and scripting. Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills are essential. StrongDM offers a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and a supportive work environment.

Requirements

• Working in cloud service provider environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Writing, maintaining, and deploying infrastructure using Terraform
• Supporting and administering macOS, Windows, and *nix systems

• Available to work standard CST or EST hours

Responsibilities

• Manage our corporate cloud infrastructure using IaC tools, CI/CD pipelines, scripting, and automation
• Create playbooks, scripts, and automations for repeatable tasks

• Build systems to be updated and scaled with minimal impact on internal users
• Continuously evaluate and improve IT tools, processes, and workflows
• Provide support to our IT helpdesk team and assist internal users

Preferred Qualifications

• You stay calm during incidents, focus on root cause—not blame—and help the team learn and improve

• You understand that IT exists to support the business; collaboration and humility are non-negotiable
• You bring a “Yes, and…” attitude, own your mistakes, and proactively drive improvements wherever you see the opportunity
• You can engage across all levels—from ICs to execs—and tailor your approach to the person and the problem
• You thrive in a high-growth startup and know that great internal support is part of what makes scale possible
