Job Summary

As a member of the IT team, you will play an important role in helping Drata scale securely and thoughtfully as we grow. You’ll build, secure, and continuously improve the systems and processes that power our internal operations across identity and access management, device management, network security, SaaS administration, and workflow automation. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strong technical depth with an automation-first mindset to create secure, seamless experiences for employees across the business.

You’ll partner closely with teams throughout Drata to strengthen our infrastructure, improve security controls, and bring scalable solutions to the tools and workflows people rely on every day. You’ll also leverage Drata’s security and compliance automation platform to help ensure our IT environment meets critical security and compliance requirements as the company continues to grow. As opportunities arise, you’ll be encouraged to blog, speak, and participate in events to share your work and how other companies can learn from Drata’s approach.
