At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

We’re looking for an experienced and proactive IT Manager to own and evolve our company’s IT ecosystem as we scale. You’ll design and implement systems that make it easy, and secure, for our teammates to onboard and work efficiently from anywhere. From managing devices and access to supporting SOC 2 compliance and workspace AV setup, you’ll be the go-to person for all things IT.

This role blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You’ll move us from ad hoc solutions to a scalable, secure, and well-documented IT environment that supports growth, efficiency, and accelerates every employee.

This person should be comfortable with occasional travel should we need IT support in any physical locations.
