What this job asks for AI summary
This role sits within an infrastructure team at an AI-driven insurance brokerage platform, responsible for onboarding acquired agencies onto shared IT systems and keeping those systems running day to day. The work spans device fleet management, identity and access lifecycle across Entra/Okta and Google Workspace/M365, MDM operations, and cutover coordination — with a strong expectation that recurring manual tasks get replaced by scripted, version-controlled automation. It suits someone with a background in end-user IT or MSP environments who is equally comfortable supporting non-technical users and writing PowerShell or Python to eliminate the next support ticket.

Why we read it this way (8)
No work location is specified in the posting — city, state, and CBSA are left blank. The role appears to be US-based given the company context, but remote vs. on-site is also unstated; remote is marked false as a conservative default given the hands-on device/fleet and agency-cutover nature of the work.
The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call. The role is primarily IT operations and systems administration (device fleet management, MDM, identity lifecycle, end-user support), which points to 15-1244. However, the posting strongly emphasizes scripting, automation, and configuration-as-code as a core requirement — not a bonus — which pulls toward 15-1252. 15-1244 was chosen because the primary day-to-day deliverable is operating and managing infrastructure (endpoints, identity, SaaS access) rather than shipping software, even though automation is central to how that work is done.
PowerShell and Python are listed together as the scripting requirement ('PowerShell, Python, or similar') — they are interchangeable options for the same requirement, so each is emitted with the other as an alternative.
Entra ID and Okta are listed as interchangeable IdP options; Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are listed as interchangeable collaboration platforms. Each pair is emitted as a single requirement with alternatives.
MDM is a hard requirement; Hexnode is the preferred platform but Intune, Jamf, and Kandji are explicitly listed as acceptable alternatives. Hexnode is also separately listed under 'Nice to have' as a specific preference, so it appears both as an alternative on the MDM skill and as a standalone preferred skill.
Microsoft Graph API is listed under the required scripting/automation section ('Graph API, or similar') and is treated as a hard gate on that capability.
AVD (Azure Virtual Desktop) is listed in the required section ('AVD or a comparable remote-desktop setup') as a hard gate on remote-desktop familiarity, with the 'comparable' qualifier meaning the specific tool is interchangeable. It is also called out specifically under 'Nice to have,' so it appears as both a required capability and a preferred specific tool.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: the 4–6 year experience range and the scope (individual contributor owning IT operations for acquired agencies, reporting to a Head of Infrastructure) align with mid-level. The title carries no explicit level word.
