Senior IT Corporate Engineer

About the role

You will build and operate the core systems that power Beacon, working directly with the Staff Corporate Engineer. This is a hands on position on a small team where you own real components of the stack. You will manage identity, endpoint, access, and the SaaS layer while the staff engineer defines the broader architecture. You learn parts of the system you do not yet know, own well defined pieces end to end, and move fast through execution. This role fits candidates with several years of corporate engineering or IT experience who prefer writing code and building infrastructure instead of managing queues of tickets in a large organization. You will be expected to dive into complex problems, automate repetitive tasks, and contribute directly to the reliability and security of the systems that support the company.
