About the role
As a System Administrator at Blacklane, you will own and operate our core internal IT platforms - from identity and access management to SaaS applications, endpoint management, and local infrastructure. You will work hands-on, automate repetitive tasks, and continuously improve how we design and run our internal IT services rather than just maintaining the status quo.
What you'll do
- Own and operate key internal IT platforms and related SaaS services
- Design, implement, and maintain user lifecycle management and access controls across systems (joiners/movers/leavers, RBAC, group structures, app provisioning & de‑provisioning)
- Configure and maintain SSO integrations, security policies, MFA, and conditional access in our IdP
- Support and improve endpoint management, leveraging OS‑level policies to ensure a secure and productive client setup
- Collaborate closely with Platform and Security on cross-team topics
- Handle 1st/2nd/3rd‑level incidents and requests related to core IT systems
- Drive automation of recurring tasks using scripts, APIs
- Maintain documentation for systems and processes
What you'll need
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on system administration experience in a modern, SaaS‑heavy environment
- Strong background in server and network administration
- Solid IdP / SSO and lifecycle management skills (policies, integrations, SCIM, MFA, conditional access, RBAC)
- Good grasp of IT security principles and how to apply them pragmatically
- Experience with MDM for macOS and Windows (policies, compliance, software deployment)
- Experience administering Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence) or similar platforms
- Familiarity with network basics (routing, VPNs, DNS, firewalls)
- Comfortable working with Active Directory, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, macOS, Linux, Windows and common SaaS business tools
Nice to have
- Ability to script and automate (e.g. Python, PowerShell, Bash, APIs)
- Conversational level German is a plus
What they offer
- Monthly BVG / Deutschlandticket subsidy to support your commute
- Private pension plan with 20% employer contribution up to a monthly cap
- Subsidised healthy meals via BellaBona
- 28 vacation days per year, increasing with tenure
- Mental and Physical Health support with Nilo and Wellhub
- Hybrid setup: 3 days a week in Berlin HQ
