Job description

The Role :

Scale AI is hiring a highly skilled foundational IT Systems Engineer for our Public Sector IT team to design, build, and operate secure, scalable infrastructure that empowers employees to do their best work. You'll join a creative, fast-moving, solutions-oriented group that architects and implements automation across identity and access management, endpoint management, and our broader SaaS stack. Leveraging Okta Workflows, GCC High / Azure Gov, and your familiarity with federal frameworks (FedRAMP High, IL6, CMMC), you'll deliver robust, audit-ready systems that meet stringent compliance requirements. The ideal candidate pairs deep IAM best practices and hands-on SaaS administration with a zero-trust mindset, clear documentation, and a genuine drive to make people happy-while protecting system integrity in a fast-paced, high-security environment.

You will :

  • Assist with the administration of our tech stack with platforms such as Okta, GCC High, Opal, Slack, Jamf, Jira, and many more
  • Provide escalated assistance to the IT Services and Support team
  • Partner with Security / Compliance on audit artifacts (SSP updates, POA&Ms, control mappings to NIST 800-53 / 171, CMMC 2.0).
  • Create and update technology documentation for internal IT teams and Scale employees
  • Design and maintain Zero-Trust controls (device posture, network segmentation, Conditional Access) across GCC High / Azure Gov and Okta.
  • Build Okta Workflows and lightweight services (webhooks / queues) to automate joiner-mover-leaver events, access reviews, and deprovisioning.
  • Own change management for IT systems in regulated environments (CAB records, rollback plans, validation evidence).

Ideally you'd have :

  • 5+ years of IT systems, infrastructure, and / or engineering experience
  • Experience with integrating with SaaS APIs and SDKs
  • Experience with leveraging Okta or similar identity management systems for authentication and provisioning methods such as SAML, OIDC, and SCIM
  • Scripting experience with Python, Powershell, and / or bash
  • Experience working within SCIFs
  • Familiarity with IL6 / FedRAMP High / CMMC 2.0 control families and how they translate to concrete IT configs.
  • Possession of an active Secret or TS / SCI clearance
  • Nice to haves :

  • IT Security and Compliance focused mindset
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code for identity / MDM configs (e.g., Terraform providers for Okta / Jamf / Azure).
  • PLEASE NOTE : Our policy requires a 90-day waiting period before reconsidering candidates for the same role. This allows us to ensure a fair and thorough evaluation of all applicants.

    About Us :

    At Scale, our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world's most important decisions.
