About BlueThrone

BlueThrone acquires and scales profitable mobile apps.

We dont build from zero. We buy apps with strong potential and turn them into category leaders through better product decisions smarter monetization and disciplined user acquisition.

Today our portfolio generates tens of millions of downloads and serves millions of monthly active users across multiple verticals. Were profitable independent and growing through disciplined bets - not hype.

Were not a corporate org with layers and slow approvals. We operate like a lean high-ownership team where strong execution matters more than fancy titles and we care about one thing: building things that move the needle.

The role

This is a new role on the IT team created because the company has outgrown the way internal IT used to run. Were 70 people using 100 SaaS tools across engineering product marketing and operations - and keeping that ecosystem clean secure and frictionless is the core of this job.

Youll be the IT contact people know will actually fix things. Youll own the full employee IT lifecycle run 2nd-level support and administer the core stack at the admin level. Less ticket-closing more building the systems and processes that mean fewer tickets get opened in the first place.

This isnt a role where you wait for things to break. Youll be proactive - setting up monitoring tightening access reviews documenting whats undocumented and quietly removing the small frictions that slow everyone down.

What youll do

• Own the employee IT lifecycle. Joiner/mover/leaver flows role changes access reviews - make sure people get what they need on day one and lose access cleanly on their last.

• Administer the core stack. Google Workspace and Google Cloud Platform at the admin level - accounts groups OUs permissions integrations security policies audit. Plus the wider SaaS ecosystem (Jira Notion 1Password and more).

• Run 2nd-level support. Troubleshoot hardware software connectivity and access issues. Be the person people trust to get them unstuck.

• Manage DNS and domain registrars. Keep records clean documented and not held together by tribal knowledge.

• Build monitoring and alerting for internal IT systems so problems surface before users notice them.

• Document properly. CMDB and Knowledge Base - leave things in a state where the next person (or your future self) doesnt have to reverse-engineer them.

• Collaborate across teams. IT touches everyone; youll work closely with People Product Engineering and operations.

What you bring

• 3 years as a System Administrator IT Operations Specialist IT Engineer or similar.

• Strong hands-on Google Workspace administration - users groups OUs security policies audit. Not just Ive used the admin console but real depth.

• Familiarity with GCP Jira (including Jira Service Management) Notion and 1Password or comparable tools.

• Comfort with monitoring and alerting tools for internal IT.

• An ownership mindset. You ask good questions raise flags early and communicate clearly - especially when things are uncertain.

• A sharp eye for detail paired with strong prioritization. You can tell the difference between whats urgent whats important and whats noise.

• Background in fast-growth tech or SaaS ideally fully remote. You know what it looks like when an IT function scales - and when it doesnt.

Bonus points

• Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code for IT/identity workflows.

• Exposure to identity providers SSO/SCIM provisioning and zero-trust setups.

Why youll love it here

• Extreme flexibility. Fully remote results-oriented. We care about what you ship and how reliably the systems run not your hours.

• You are naturally curious and enjoy wearing multiple hats.

• You thrive in a drama-free calm and systematic problem-solving environment.

• You love challenges and are always ready to roll up your sleeves.

• A small senior team. No layers no four-hour alignment meetings. Direct line to decisions and to the people whose work youre supporting.

• Work that compounds. What you build (automation documentation monitoring) sticks around and makes the next hire easier.

• As the company scales the IT function scales with it. Youre not stuck on a treadmill of repetitive tickets.

• Above all you follow your passion and have fun while doing it.
