IT Administrator

Mapbox is a real-time location platform that provides tools for organizations to build location-aware applications and experiences. The IT Administrator will manage identity and access infrastructure, endpoint systems, office technology, and employee IT lifecycle processes while improving security, automation, and system reliability. The role also serves as a technical escalation point and partners with Security and the help desk on audits, support, and IT projects.

Responsibilities

• Travel to our San Francisco office on a weekly basis to collaborate with cross-functional teams and support business needs
• Own secure configuration, provisioning, and lifecycle management of identity and access across Okta, AWS, GitHub, Google Cloud, G Suite, and other systems of record — treating identity as the foundation of our security posture
• Manage and secure our endpoint fleet (macOS/Windows/Linux) via MDM, including compliance baselines and automated deployment, so devices are secure and functional before a ticket is ever filed
• Own the in-office LAN, WiFi, audio-visual, conferencing, and computing systems end-to-end from a remote position
• Continuously mine ticket trends to identify what shouldn't be a ticket at all — building automation and self-service tooling that resolves issues before they reach the help desk, and partnering with the help desk team to keep escalations rare and well-documented
• Serve as the technical escalation point for issues the help desk can't resolve — approachable, fast, and using every escalation as an input for the next automation
• Support the smooth onboarding of new hires and manage the full employee IT lifecycle from a systems perspective (provisioning, access, deprovisioning)
• Partner with Security on audit readiness (SOC 2, access reviews) for the systems you own
• Participate in weekly sprints and IT projects, both as a contributor and as a leader
