Scale AI is hiring a highly skilled foundational IT Systems Engineer for our Public Sector IT team to design, build, and operate secure, scalable infrastructure that empowers employees to do their best work.
You’ll join a creative, fast-moving, solutions-oriented group that architects and implements automation across identity and access management, endpoint management, and our broader SaaS stack.
