This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Staff IT Engineer in Ireland.
This is a high-impact, deeply technical IT engineering role in a fast-scaling environment where internal systems are treated as critical product infrastructure. You will own complex IT challenges end-to-end, combining hands‑on engineering, automation, and systems design to build a seamless and highly scalable internal technology ecosystem. The role goes far beyond traditional IT support, blending infrastructure engineering, identity and device management, and backend development into one cohesive function. You will collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to eliminate manual processes and design elegant, event‑driven systems that improve productivity across the organization. At the same time, you will directly support users, bringing both technical precision and strong empathy to every interaction. This is an opportunity for a systems‑minded engineer who enjoys building, automating, and continuously improving foundational internal platforms.
Accountabilities
Own and resolve complex internal IT issues end‑to‑end, from initial diagnosis through to permanent, scalable solutions
Design and implement automation across core IT systems, including device management, identity management, and user lifecycle processes
Build and maintain integrations between internal systems using APIs, event‑driven architecture, and service‑based components
Contribute to the development of a scalable internal backend using modern programming and infrastructure tools
Improve and automate onboarding, offboarding, and access management workflows to reduce manual intervention
Ensure IT systems are secure, efficient, auditable, and aligned with organisational best practices
Collaborate with engineering and business teams to define and implement system‑wide improvements
Provide empathetic, high‑quality support to users while identifying root causes and long‑term fixes
Drive innovation in IT operations by introducing modern tooling, infrastructure‑as‑code, and automation‑first approaches
Requirements
Strong experience in IT engineering or similar technical infrastructure roles, with deep hands‑on expertise in enterprise IT systems
Proven experience with identity management (e.g., Okta, Google Workspace) and device management platforms (e.g., MDM tools)
Strong background in automating system interactions using APIs, scripting, or integration frameworks
Experience working with cloud‑based, modern IT environments and distributed systems
Familiarity with backend engineering concepts, including event‑driven architectures, APIs, and service‑based systems
Ability to design scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions from scratch
Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to move from symptoms to root causes
Excellent communication skills with a strong sense of empathy and user focus
Comfort working in fast‑moving environments where priorities evolve quickly
Strong ownership mindset, with the ability to work independently and drive projects end‑to‑end
Benefits
Competitive salary package with equity participation
10‑year stock option exercise window for long‑term flexibility
Fully covered health insurance for employees and dependants (US‑based benefits; comparable support elsewhere)
Flexible remote‑first working model
Generous equipment, software, and home office budget
$100 monthly learning and development budget, with additional funding for approved training and conferences
12 weeks of fully paid family leave (with expansion to other regions over time)
Inclusive, high‑trust, and autonomy‑driven engineering culture
Strong focus on impact, ownership, and meaningful technical challenges
