Remote IT Operations Administrator

What's the Job?

We’re looking for a hands-on, proactive Remote IT Operations Lead to own and evolve our internal IT systems in a fully distributed environment. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a remote-first organization, enjoys optimizing cloud-based tools, and takes pride in delivering seamless support and secure infrastructure to a growing team.

You’ll be our go-to for managing our IT ecosystem — from Google Workspace and device management to cloud cost optimization and security. You’ll build and maintain the systems that help our team stay productive, supported, and secure — all while laying the groundwork for future scale.


What You’ll Do

Own and administer our cloud-first internal IT environment, with a focus on Google Workspace, device policies, and identity access management.
Manage day-to-day IT operations, including internal help desk support, account provisioning/deprovisioning, and troubleshooting.
Administer and optimize Atlassian tools (Confluence, Jira) to support collaboration, documentation, and internal workflows.
Create and maintain onboarding/offboarding processes to ensure a smooth and secure experience for all team members.
Implement and oversee cybersecurity practices, including device compliance, MFA enforcement, and access controls.
Monitor and manage cloud service usage and costs (AWS, GCP, etc.), recommending optimizations as needed.
Support DevOps and cloud infrastructure needs, including CI/CD pipeline tooling and automation where needed.
Document internal processes and systems, enabling knowledge sharing and future team growth.
Be a trusted IT partner for the organization — balancing security, usability, and cost-efficiency.
