Manage software and hardware assets, including inventory tracking, configuring new tools, and administering our macOS fleet using JAMF and other MDM solutions.
Manage local office hardware, software, and networking equipment, including local network and audio/visual (AV) hardware.
Handle the entire identity-and-access lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding and updating birthrights, to ensure proper access and maintain PCI-DSS compliance.

Maintain endpoint security by patching systems, triaging vulnerabilities, and driving remediation to completion.
Contribute to strategic roadmap projects that include business enablement initiatives like implementing new SaaS applications or a VOIP system.

We actively work to drive out even unintentional discrimination in our hiring processes via practices like blindly graded work samples, structured interviews, and diversity awareness training.

Due to the sensitive nature of what Spreedly does - handling payment data - finalist candidates must complete a successful background and reference check.

At this time Spreedly is unable to provide sponsorship for employment, and we are not set up to support remote employees who reside in California or New York. In order to be considered for employment, applicants must be currently legally authorized to work in the job location country and not require future sponsorship in order to continue working in that country.

We appreciate your interest in our company. Because of the high volume of resume flow, we may only respond to those candidates that we think will be a potential fit.
