About the role

Original posting from Lio via Ashby

You’re not just managing IT; you’re automating it. As IT Automation & Systems Manager at Lio, you replace manual processes with smart workflows, build internal tools that outperform SaaS solutions, and create a secure, scalable IT foundation for a fast-growing AI company.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

In this role, you will:

  • Automate onboarding, offboarding, access management, and device provisioning across our tool stack
  • Build lightweight internal tools (low-code / vibe-coded / custom scripts) to replace or optimize SaaS workflows
  • Integrate and orchestrate systems into a clean, automated setup
  • Own role- and group-based access structures and continuously improve permission management
  • Support IT security initiatives such as firewall setup, device policies, and security best practices
  • Document systems clearly and create scalable IT processes that grow with the company

YOUR PROFILE

You’re a good fit for this role if you:

  • Have experience in IT administration, systems engineering, or IT operations in a startup or SaaS environment
  • Think automation-first and prefer building systems over manually executing tasks
  • Can script or build internal tools (e.g., via Python, APIs, low-code tools, or AI-assisted coding)
  • Understand identity & access management, SaaS ecosystems, and modern cloud environments
  • Care about security fundamentals and structured permission concepts
  • Work independently, pragmatically, and solution-oriented

WHY JOIN US?

At Lio, IT is not a support function, it’s a leverage function. You’ll design an automation-first IT landscape, eliminate repetitive work, and build internal systems that scale with our growth. Your work will directly increase efficiency, security, and speed across the company. Move fast, automate everything, and help power a category-defining AI company. Are you in?
