Job Description:
At Beyond Finance, we've made it our mission to help everyday
Americans escape the endless cycle of crippling debt and step into
a brighter financial future. Through compassionate, individualized
care, a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive
user-centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've
helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future.
While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're
searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level!
If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, rapidly growing
organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to
hear from you. The Role You will be the technical lead across our
End User Computing and Workplace Technology teams, setting the bar
for how we build, deploy, and maintain systems at scale across
5,000 endpoints — a large, complex environment spanning Windows,
Mac, and cloud-managed infrastructure. This is a hands-on role for
someone who wants to own architecture-level decisions and solve
hard problems, not manage people. When a project is at risk or a
design needs a harder look, you're who the team leans on. Key
Responsibilities Own the architecture and implementation of major
initiatives across endpoint management, identity, and workplace
infrastructure Define engineering standards for configuration
management, automation, change control, and deployment quality
Unblock complex problems, review high-risk changes, and raise the
quality floor across the team Evaluate new tooling and platforms
with a clear view of tradeoffs, security posture, and operational
cost Turn ambiguous business problems into well-scoped technical
solutions, making sound decisions with incomplete information
Participate in the incident response to production outages — own
technical response, drive resolution, and ensure problems are fully
closed Represent the team's technical direction to cross-functional
stakeholders and senior leadership without the director in the room
when needed Skill Requirements 7 years in IT engineering with a
background in systems engineering and/or endpoint management at
large or mid-sized enterprise scale Hands-on scripting experience
with Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation and orchestration
Deep operational experience with MDM tooling across Windows and Mac
device fleets Network fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, TLS/SSL, and Zero
Trust/VPN architecture Identity and access governance: SSO, SAML,
SCIM, conditional access policies, and access lifecycle management
Experience with Git-based version control workflows, including pull
requests and automation pipelines Experience with logging agents,
SIEM integrations, auditing, monitoring, telemetry, and
observability Familiarity with endpoint security tooling (EDR, DLP)
Desirable Skills Experience with Zero Trust security frameworks and
compliance practices Actively uses AI tools as part of their
engineering workflow; brings an AI-forward mindset to solving
problems at scale Experience working in SASE/SSE environments The
Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is technically sharp, moves
with urgency, and can own the hardest problems on the team
end-to-end. You've operated at enterprise scale and know what it
means to set a technical bar, not just meet one. You make
architectural decisions with incomplete information and drive them
through to completion despite ambiguity. You communicate with equal
clarity to an engineer and an executive, and you embrace AI tools
as force multipliers. LI-AW1 The base annual salary range is listed
below. This role is eligible for additional incentives, including
an annual bonus. Base Salary Range $120,000 - $160,000 USD Why Join
Us? While you make a difference for others, we’ll work to make a
difference for you, providing an uplifting, collaborative work
environment and benefits that reflect your value to us. For
eligible full-time employees, we offer: Considerable employer
contributions for health, dental, and vision programs Generous PTO,
paid holidays, and paid parental leave 401(k) matching program
Merit advancement opportunities Career development & training And
finally, our team spirit and culture! We cultivate an environment
of community, connection, and belonging across our entire
organization. Beyond Finance does not accept unsolicited resumes
