As a Sr. IT Systems/Automation Engineer, you will be a core technical contributor on the IT Digital Employee Experience team at Databricks, owning and driving automation platforms and endpoint security programs that reduce friction across the company. This role requires a strong automation mindset, deep technical breadth across IT systems, and the ability to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions in a fast-paced environment.

• Ability to operate with minimal guidance, take ownership of ambiguous projects, and deliver consistently high-quality work under pressure.

Automation & Integration Expertise:

• Hands-on experience with enterprise IT automation platforms (Tines preferred), or equivalent.
• Experience building and troubleshooting integrations between identity, endpoint, ticketing, and security platforms.
• Experience designing and delivering automation for IT processes: onboarding/offboarding, access provisioning, license management, and security compliance.

Endpoint & Mobile Device Management:

• Expertise with Jamf MDM platforms for managing macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android devices at scale.
• Experience with zero-touch provisioning, device imaging, configuration management, and security policy enforcement.
• Ability to diagnose and resolve complex, cross-device ecosystem issues.

Identity & Access Management:

• Working knowledge of IAM platforms (Okta preferred), including SSO, SCIM provisioning, group rules, and access lifecycle management.
• Ability to troubleshoot and improve identity workflows in partnership with the IAM team.

Collaboration & Communication:

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills. Comfortable working with Security, Engineering, Infrastructure, and business stakeholders.
• Effective at coaching and training peers on new tools and processes.
