About Paxos 

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers. 

About the team

The Paxos IT Team plays a crucial role in supporting our growing global business by enabling seamless technology experiences for all employees. The team is responsible for deploying, supporting, and securing devices and applications across a hybrid environment, both in-office and remotely. As Paxos expands its workforce and services, the IT function is critical to ensuring operational excellence and security for every Paxonian.

About the role 

We are seeking a seasoned and strategic Senior IT Systems Engineer to join our dynamic IT team. In this role, you will be a technical anchor, responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems that power our business. You will tackle our most complex technical challenges, own impactful projects from end-to-end, and serve as a mentor to other engineers. The ideal candidate is a deep subject matter expert who not only solves today's problems but also anticipates future needs, aligning technology with our long-term business strategy.

What you’ll do 

  • Architect & Build: Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, and reliable solutions within at least one core IT system (Jamf, Intune, Okta, Jira, Google Workspace)
  • Solve Complex Problems: Lead troubleshooting efforts for complex, multi-system issues, performing thorough root cause analysis to implement fixes that prevent recurrence.
  • Drive Improvement: Proactively identify performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and single points of failure, and design automated solutions to remediate them.
  • Own Key Projects: Take complete ownership of the project lifecycle for key initiatives, from initial design and planning through to deployment, monitoring, and post-launch support.
  • Mentor & Collaborate: Formally mentor junior engineers to elevate the team's skillset, and act as a technical representative for the team in cross-functional discussions to ensure alignment and drive sound decisions.
  • Establish Best Practices: Help define and document team standards for engineering excellence, testing, and operational readiness.

About you

  • 6+ years of proven experience architecting, deploying, and managing the lifecycle of core IT platforms. You are a subject matter expert (SME) in one or more of the following: Okta, Jira, Google Workspace, Jamf.
  • Hands-on experience developing robust automation and integrations using scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash).
  • Deep practical knowledge of modern IAM principles.
  • Extensive experience managing a hybrid fleet of macOS endpoints at scale. You can engineer and enforce security baselines (CIS or similar), configuration profiles, and zero-touch deployment for a globally distributed and remote workforce using JAMF Pro.
  • A security-first approach demonstrated through technical application. You have hands-on experience implementing and managing security controls and platforms.
  • Ability to architect durable and scalable systems by evaluating, testing, and recommending emerging technologies. You can create technical roadmaps, document design decisions, and clearly articulate the trade-offs between different solutions in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
