Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Rune develops modular micro data centers that connect stranded renewable energy to computing infrastructure. The IT Systems Administrator will own IT end-to-end, including device provisioning, security, internal software, SaaS administration, identity management, documentation, and expanding systems administration as the company grows.

Responsibilities

• Set up and manage device provisioning for new hires (laptops, accounts, access)

• Own our SaaS stack: procurement, licensing, access management, and cost oversight

Skills

• 3-5 years of hands-on IT support or systems administration experience
• Experience owning IT (or a substantial part of it) at a company of similar size, without a senior IT person to lean on - you're comfortable making judgment calls independently

• Experience managing SaaS tools and vendor relationships, including cost oversight
• Comfortable working across macOS and Windows environments
• Strong documentation habits and clear communication with colleagues
• Experience with SSO/identity platforms (Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD)
• Basic scripting/automation (Bash, PowerShell, Python)
