ABOUT POOLSIDE
In this decade, the world will create artificial intelligence that reaches human level intelligence (and beyond) by combining learning and search. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will determine who survives and wins. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research and engineering at scale. They will create powerful economic engines. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this.
Poolside exists to be one of these companies - to build a world where AI will drive the majority of economically valuable work and scientific progress.
We believe that software development will be the first major capability in neural networks that reaches human-level intelligence because it's the domain where we can combine Search and Learning approaches the best.
At Poolside we believe our applied research needs to culminate in products that are put in the hands of people. Today we focus on building for a developer-led increasingly AI-assisted world. We believe that current capabilities of AI lead to incredible tooling that can assist developers in their day to day work. We also believe that as we increase the capabilities of our models, we increasingly empower anyone in the world to be able to build software. We envision a future where not 100 million people can build software but 2 billion people can.
ABOUT OUR TEAM
We are a remote-first team that sits across Europe and North America and comes together once a month in-person for 3 days and for longer offsites twice a year.
Our R&D and production teams are a combination of more research and more engineering-oriented profiles, however, everyone deeply cares about the quality of the systems we build and has a strong underlying knowledge of software development. We believe that good engineering leads to faster development iterations, which allows us to compound our efforts.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll be the owner of corporate technology at Poolside. Reporting to our Head of Security, you'll own how employees get access to what they need, from their first day through the entire employee lifecycle, and modernize it as you go. You'll run identity and access management across Okta, Google Workspace, and the rest of our stack, scale it through automation, and help stand up the endpoint tooling we're still building out. Everyone at Poolside is your customer.
This is a high ownership, hands on role. You’ll partner directly with Engineering, Infrastructure, People, and Operations teams to design IAM workflows that balance security with velocity and a genuinely good employee experience. There’s a rare opportunity here to rethink operational security and access management from first principles; using AI driven tooling and automation to do work that, at most other organizations, is still done by hand.
YOUR MISSION
To make secure access a frictionless and effortless process for everyone building Poolside’s models and products, from day one through offboarding.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own onboarding and offboarding end to end, so every employee, contractor, and partner gets the right access fast and loses it cleanly when they leave
Automate repetitive operational stacks across our stack with scripts, APIs, and agents
Run day to day IAM across Okta, Google Workspace, and other internal applications
Provision and deprovision accounts and devices, and assist to mature our endpoint tooling over time (EDR, MDM)
Be the trusted point of contact for employee technology and access, resolve internal issues quickly, and turn recurring issues into self serve solutions
Lead access reviews and own IAM related audit controls for SOC2, ISO27001, and ISO42001
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
Hands-on experience running onboarding/offboarding in a corporate IT or Security environment, with a strong grasp of IAM and least-privilege principles
Hands-on experience with SSO and identity providers (Okta, Google Workspace, etc) and automation spanning multiple internal platforms
Familiarity with endpoint management tooling (Jamf, Kandji/Iru, Intune) and EDR tooling (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or similar)
Clear operational documentation, strong troubleshooting skills, and the discretion to handle sensitive data
A proactive ownership mindset and comfort operating where processes are still being built
Experience collaborating across HR, Engineering, and Security Teams
Plus: Scripting or agent-based automation, compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001/42001), and building operational metrics/dashboards
