IT Systems Engineer

About OLIX

AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.

The Role

We're hiring a IT Systems Engineer to own the reliability and evolution of the tools every team at OLIX depends on day to day: identity and SSO, device management across Mac and Windows, Google Workspace, and the wider collaboration and business-systems stack including Slack, Notion and Atlassian. As headcount grows, so does the load on these systems, and we need someone to own their architecture and roadmap rather than just keep them running.

You'll be the final escalation point for complex, cross-system problems, and you'll lead company-wide systems projects from scoping through delivery. A significant identity provider and device management migration is on the near-term roadmap, so there's substantial architectural work from day one.

Beyond the core stack, you'll act as OLIX's AI enabler: finding the manual tools and processes worth removing, evaluating tools, and building agents and automations that act as a force multiplier across the business, all while holding a high bar on security and IP protection. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role with the freedom to define how IT and internal systems work here from the ground up.

Responsibilities

• Strengthen the core stack: own the architecture and roadmap for our business-systems stack, including IDP/IAM, Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Atlassian and adjacent HRIS, ATS and finance platforms, and make sure they scale ahead of OLIX's growth.
• Lead IT and systems projects end to end: take medium-to-large, company-wide projects from scoping through delivery, automating recurring work, streamlining tooling, and improving the day-one and day-to-day experience for every OLIX employee.
• Be the escalation point: act as the final escalation point for complex, cross-system issues, providing expert-level root cause analysis and implementing architectural changes that stop problems recurring.
• Build agents and automations: champion AI adoption across the business, partnering with functional teams to design scalable, automated processes and building the tools, scripts and workflows (Google Workspace and Apps Script, IDP APIs) that eliminate manual toil.
• Own secure onboarding of new tools: partner with InfoSec on SaaS vendor reviews and rollout, so new tools arrive with SSO, SCIM and least-privilege access in place.
• Raise the bar as you go: find and fix friction or quality gaps in how IT and systems operate without being asked, mentor others, and be a visible example of ownership in the team.
