System Catalog & Platform Ownership

  • Map and maintain a live catalog of every tool, data flow, and permission set across the organization
  • Own admin access and configuration on all business systems; IT is the platform layer that teams build on
  • Onboard new tools into the stack: configure, integrate, document, and maintain
  • Ensure no system operates outside IT visibility or outside the compliance framework

Identity & Access Management

  • Roll out SSO and SCIM across the full stack via Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
  • Maintain provisioning and deprovisioning workflows across all tools
  • Enforce access controls in alignment with least-privilege principles and compliance requirements

Integrations, Automation & Compliance

  • Build integrations that eliminate manual data transfer between systems, leveraging the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and Power Automate
  • Configure and maintain direct API integrations where native connectors aren't available; work with REST APIs, webhooks, and authentication patterns (OAuth, API keys)
  • Manage Drata integrations and maintain the system connections that support the compliance program (ITAR, CMMC Level 2, DFARS)
  • Own backup and recovery configuration across all business systems

Data Infrastructure & Business Intelligence

  • Route integration data to a centralized data store (Azure-aligned, greenfield build) to support reporting and analytics
  • Develop BI dashboards and reports as systems are connected and data becomes available
  • Lay the data infrastructure foundation that will eventually connect to mission operations and spacecraft telemetry

Required Experience

  • 3+ years of experience in IT/IS systems administration, enterprise systems engineering, or a comparable hands-on role
  • Demonstrated experience with SSO/SCIM rollouts and identity management; Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to work with REST APIs in the context of system integrations: reading documentation, constructing requests, and troubleshooting responses
  • Experience configuring and administering business systems across multiple platforms (HRIS, ERP, CRM, finance, project management, collaboration, or similar)
  • Strong fundamentals in access management, system integrations, and data flows
  • Hands-on experience administering and configuring business systems across a broad tool stack: identity, HRIS, ERP, CRM, finance, project management, and collaboration platforms
  • Practical knowledge of SSO and SCIM provisioning, preferably using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
  • Ability to build and maintain system integrations using iPaaS tools (Power Automate, Workato, Make, Boomi, or similar)
  • Ability to work with REST APIs, read API documentation, construct and test API calls, and troubleshoot integration failures
  • Comfort working in compliance-sensitive environments; familiarity with access control, audit evidence, and security-aligned system configuration
  • Ability to work independently, drive tasks to completion, and bring solutions rather than problems
  • Demonstrated curiosity and self-directed learning: independent certifications, personal projects, or courses taken outside of formal education
  • Willingness to dive into unfamiliar tools and figure them out

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with Microsoft 365 GCC-High or other FedRAMP-aligned environments
  • Experience with Power Automate, Workato, Make, Boomi, or comparable iPaaS tooling
  • Familiarity with Drata or similar GRC/compliance automation platforms
  • Exposure to data warehouse or BI concepts (Power BI, Azure Synapse, Fabric, or similar)
  • ISC2 CC certification, CompTIA Security+, or equivalent; or willingness to obtain within 6 months of hire
  • Curiosity about AI/ML tools and practical thinking about how they apply to business operations and reporting
  • Experience in or genuine interest in aerospace or space technology
