Junior IT Systems and Business Automation Specialist

Simplex
Austin, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 8/24/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/23/2026

This role is on-site M-F 9AM-5:30PM in Austin, TX. 

Our client is a well established company in the HR / Recruiting Technology space. Their IT team handles more than traditional IT. Alongside support and security work, we've used AI coding tools and workflow automation platforms to build custom business automations in-house, including automated reporting systems, AI-driven research pipelines, and personalized partner communications. Most of your time — around 70-80% — will be on the automation side. The rest is traditional IT support and security. You'll work alongside the person who built our current automation suite, learning through hands-on pairing and eventually owning your own projects.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who has some basic IT Support experience who wants to dive into the world of AI and AI Coding tools (Claude / ChatGPT) and is eager to learn.

  • Monitor and maintain network infrastructure using Cisco Meraki
  • Maintain security policies, support progress toward SOC and ISO 27001 certifications, and respond to security questionnaires from clients and partners

Qualifications

  • 1 years of experience in IT support, systems administration, or a related role along with a hunger to learn
  • Experience troubleshooting technical issues across hardware, software, and access management
  • Basic knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001) and privacy regulations
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills; you'll work with people across every department

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with workflow automation tools such as n8n
  • Familiarity with AI coding assistants
  • Knowledge of M365 administration
  • Industry certifications (CompTIA A , Net , Sec or similar)
  • Scripting experience in Python or JavaScript

Starting salary is $80,000, with a clear growth path to $95,000 and then $110,000 over your first two years as you take on more ownership of automation projects and security initiatives.
