You will be responsible for defining CircleCI’s technology strategy, and a vision for how that should unfold over the upcoming 3-5 year horizon. You will build and lead the IT team, and shape our systems architecture and technology choices. You will define and communicate key IT policies and procedures, and set clear expectations that our employees and departments can understand and be accountable to uphold. You will collaborate with other teams to choose a rational roster of systems, tools, and integrations that maximize our efficiency as an organization, and the employee experience. The Director of IT will report directly to the VP of Customer Engineering. 

About the IT Team: 

The IT team is responsible for provisioning and supporting our key technologies (workstations, A/V equipment), providing a help desk to our employees, and administering key tools and platforms used across the organization. Additionally the IT team is responsible for collaborating with the Security Team to ensure ongoing compliance with FedRAMP, SOC 2, and other emerging requirements.

What you'll do: 

  • Define CircleCI’s technology strategy and a vision of how that unfolds over a multi-year period
  • Identify a back office system architecture in conjunction with the key business stakeholders and system owners across the company
  • Define and document the critical business systems leveraged across the organization, and the necessary people/process/tools required to ensure effective day to day operations of those systems. 
  • Establish clear help desk policies, ensure SLA’s are being achieved, and provide a positive user experience to our employees.
  • Determine the appropriate separation of duties related to each critical business system, in conjunction with the existing business owners and primary user base.
  • Work with the Security Team to ensure ongoing compliance for FedRAMP and SOC 2. This includes being a guardian of the Access Control Policy. 
  • Assist in evidence creation for audits.
  • Help shape and manage a procurement process to ensure adequate visibility and control exists over technology purchases. Oversee and negotiate annual contract renewals.
  • Document the intended use and best practices for our portfolio of communications tools; how and when to use slack, e-mail, etc.
  • Drive organization-wide technical requirements and solutions on matters such as automating onboarding/offboarding, MDM, anti-virus, VPNs, phishing, password managers and 2FA.
  • Manage quarterly objectives and KPIs for the IT function.

 What we're looking for:

  • Experience driving the IT function for a growing global organization.

  • Great communication skills, especially strong at cross departmental collaboration.
  • Technical proficiency around AV systems, Okta, office wireless networks, MDM, anti-virus, VPNs, phishing, password managers and 2FA.
  • Understanding of SOC 2, FedRAMP and GDPR.
  • Passionate about solving problems for employees of all levels and working with compliance/security teams.
  • Excellent project management skills.
    • Ability to juggle, coordinate, track and follow through details of many seemingly unrelated issues.

    • Provide concise reports to management.
  • Ability to escalate problems with applications or products to management with recommendations on solutions.
  • Strong writing and documentation skills.
  • Passion for our mission, our technology and our innovative approach to achieve growth
