Senior IT Engineer
Beyond FinanceChicago, ILPosted 26 March 2026
Job Description
At Beyond Finance, we've made it our mission to help everyday Americans escape the endless cycle of crippling debt and step into a brighter financial future. Through compassionate, individualized care,
a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive user-centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future.
While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level! If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, rapidly growing organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to hear from you.
The Role
You will be the technical lead across our End User Computing and Workplace Technology teams, setting the bar for how we build, deploy, and maintain systems at scale across 5,000+ endpoints — a large, complex environment spanning Windows, Mac, and cloud-managed infrastructure. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to own architecture-level decisions and solve hard problems, not manage people. When a project is at risk or a design needs a harder look, you're who the team leans on.
Key Responsibilities
Own the architecture and implementation of major initiatives across endpoint management, identity, and workplace infrastructure
Define engineering standards for configuration management, automation, change control, and deployment quality
Unblock complex problems, review high-risk changes, and raise the quality floor across the team
Evaluate new tooling and platforms with a clear view of tradeoffs, security posture, and operational cost
Turn ambiguous business problems into well-scoped technical solutions, making sound decisions with incomplete information
Participate in the incident response to production outages — own technical response, drive resolution, and ensure problems are fully closed
Represent the team's technical direction to cross-functional stakeholders and senior leadership without the director in the room when needed
Skill Requirements
7+ years in IT engineering with a background in systems engineering and/or endpoint management at large or mid-sized enterprise scale
Hands-on scripting experience with Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation and orchestration
Deep operational experience with MDM tooling across Windows and Mac device fleets
Network fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, TLS/SSL, and Zero Trust/VPN architecture
Identity and access governance: SSO, SAML, SCIM, conditional access policies, and access lifecycle management
Experience with Git-based version control workflows, including pull requests and automation pipelines
Experience with logging agents, SIEM integrations, auditing, monitoring, telemetry, and observability
Familiarity with endpoint security tooling (EDR, DLP)
Desirable Skills
Experience with Zero Trust security frameworks and compliance practices
Actively uses AI tools as part of their engineering workflow; brings an AI-forward mindset to solving problems at scale
Experience working in SASE/SSE environments
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is technically sharp, moves with urgency, and can own the hardest problems on the team end-to-end. You've operated at enterprise scale and know what it means to set a technical bar, not just meet one. You make architectural decisions with incomplete information and drive them through to completion despite ambiguity. You communicate with equal clarity to an engineer and an executive, and you embrace AI tools as force multipliers.
