The Role

As a Senior IT Systems Engineer, you are curious, poised, persistent, logical, clever, and possess a love for technology. You are not only an expert systems engineer and integrator, but an effective communicator and key stakeholder in enterprise-wide projects and objectives. You will leverage your technical skills to administrate, design, implement, and manage Pantheon 's enterprise IT infrastructure with a meaningful focus on identity and access management across our cloud platforms and development tooling.

The ideal candidate is resourceful, articulate, and energized by working across teams to deliver high-quality solutions to complex problems. You bring a security-first mindset, thrive in fast-paced SaaS environments, and take real ownership over the systems you build and maintain.

What You Need to Succeed

You'll be at the center of everything that keeps Pantheon running — building the systems, automations, and integrations that let our teams do their best work. Reporting to the Director of IT, you'll own critical infrastructure across the stack, partnering with teams across the company to solve hard problems and ship real solutions.
