Pantheon brings together exceptional builders who take ownership, drive meaningful impact, and shape what's next for the web. We power more than 300,000 websites globally for organizations including Google, Princeton, Salesloft, Clorox, and the United Nations. Every day, thousands of developers and marketers use our WebOps platform to build, iterate, and scale WordPress, Drupal, and Next.js sites that reach billions of people worldwide. As an employer, we operate with the same philosophy that drives our product: foundation and freedom. Pantheon is a vibrant, remote-forward team of experts who care deeply about their craft and results. Here, you take ownership of work that matters, contribute alongside exceptional people, and see the impact you create.

As a Senior IT Systems Engineer, you are curious, poised, persistent, logical, clever, and possess a love for technology. You are not only an expert systems engineer and integrator, but an effective communicator and key stakeholder in enterprise-wide projects and objectives. You will leverage your technical skills to administrate, design, implement, and manage Pantheon's enterprise IT infrastructure with a meaningful focus on identity and access management across our cloud platforms and development tooling. 

The ideal candidate is resourceful, articulate, and energized by working across teams to deliver high-quality solutions to complex problems. You bring a security-first mindset, thrive in fast-paced SaaS environments, and take real ownership over the systems you build and maintain.

You'll be at the center of everything that keeps Pantheon running — building the systems, automations, and integrations that let our teams do their best work. Reporting to the Director of IT, you'll own critical infrastructure across the stack, partnering with teams across the company to solve hard problems and ship real solutions.
