IT & Systems Administrator
Seattle$105k - $130kFull-timePosted 2w ago
About the role
Tin Can is building safe, screen-free devices for families and seeks an IT & Systems Administrator to own internal IT end-to-end, from provisioning to security, as the first dedicated IT hire.
Responsibilities
- Select and implement SSO, bring our apps behind it, and enforce MFA everywhere it belongs
- Stand up device management across Mac and Windows — enrollment, encryption, patching, and an inventory of every device we own
- Administer Google Workspace — users, groups, sharing policies, and security settings — as the source of truth for who has access to what
- Build an access model that holds at 100+ people: role-based permissions, regular access reviews, and a clear request-and-approval path
- Own onboarding so every new hire has a working laptop, logins, and the right access before their first standup — every time, not “probably”
- Make offboarding airtight: access revoked, devices recovered, and files handed over the day someone leaves
- Be the helpdesk for everyone at Tin Can — access, hardware, accounts, and the everyday “this isn’t working”
- Own the IT side of office moves and build-outs — workstations, conference-room A/V, and wireless access points
- Write the runbooks, standards, and self-serve help docs that keep IT from bottlenecking on you, and report on what’s working, like time to provision and open risks
Qualifications
- 5+ years in IT at technology companies, ideally including time at both an early-stage startup and at scale
- Hands-on experience rolling out MDM and SSO, ideally from scratch
- Deep Google Workspace admin experience and comfort supporting both macOS and Windows
- A practical security mindset; knowledge of controls that matter at 35 vs 100+ people and sequencing
- Fluency using AI as a multiplier across troubleshooting, scripting, and documentation
- Clear, patient communicator who can assist non-technical teammates
- Genuinely happy as an individual contributor for the long haul
- Low-ego and collaborative vibes; willingness to sweep the floor
- Based in Seattle and ready to work from the office 4+ days per week
