The Opportunity 🚀

Carrot is looking for a Sr. IT Systems Engineer to design, scale, and secure the identity, endpoint, and SaaS platforms that power our global, remote-first workforce. You will set the technical direction for how employees and devices connect to Carrot systems, while staying hands-on in the tooling, automation, and complex problem-solving that make IT reliable at scale.

This role sits at the center of IT engineering. You will lead larger initiatives from design through rollout, partner closely with Information Security on zero-trust and compliance priorities, and raise the bar for the rest of the team through standards, documentation, and mentorship. If you want broad technical ownership, influence over the IT roadmap, and the chance to build systems that grow with a high-growth healthcare company, this role was built for that.

Architect and own Carrot's identity, endpoint, and SaaS platforms, including Okta, JAMF, Intune, and Google Workspace, with a focus on security, reliability, and user experience

Lead design and rollout of larger IT initiatives, such as zero-trust access models, device compliance frameworks, and global endpoint standards

Build and maintain automation and infrastructure as code that manage configuration, provisioning, and lifecycle workflows at scale

Partner with Information Security to design controls, drive vulnerability management, and keep Carrot audit-ready for SOC 2, HIPAA, and customer security reviews

Serve as the senior technical escalation point, leading incident response and root cause analysis for complex or high-impact issues

Define engineering standards, runbooks, and documentation, and mentor IT teammates to grow their technical depth

Evaluate vendors and tools, build business cases, and make clear recommendations on build versus buy tradeoffs

Design environments that support global care and operations teams, including secure and efficient remote computing setups

Contribute to the IT roadmap and communicate priorities, risks, and progress to technical and business stakeholders

What Success Looks Like 📈

In your first 12–18 months, you will have:

Established a clear, documented architecture and standards for identity, endpoint, and SaaS management that the team can build on

Delivered at least one major platform initiative, such as a zero-trust access model or endpoint modernization, with measurable gains in security posture and employee experience

Reduced manual IT work through automation and infrastructure as code, with a measurable drop in recurring ticket volume

Strengthened audit readiness, contributing to clean results on security and compliance reviews

Raised the technical capability of the team through mentorship, documentation, and shared standards

Built trusted partnerships with Information Secu
