The IT Tooling team sits within IT Support & Services (ITSS) and builds the automations that power ITSS's own operations. Our in-house bot, Ask IT, deflects the majority of company-wide IT requests before they reach a human. Beyond that, we automate ITSS's core day-to-day workflows — ticket triage, access reviews, onboarding and offboarding — which employees experience as self-service. You'll own technical domains within the IT Tooling platform and partner with regional IT teams across APAC, EMEA, and AMER through platforms including n8n, Jira, Okta, Airflow, and Temporal.
