About Tin Can

Tin Can is building a safer, simpler way for kids to connect — without smartphones. We’re creating screen-free, delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today’s digital world.

We’re building a bold, authentic, nostalgic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler & better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we’re currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it). As we gear up to scale to thousands of families, we’re ready to bring on an IT & Systems Administrator to help make it happen.

The Role

Families trust us with their kid’s first phone, and the team keeping that promise can only move as fast as the tools behind them. We’re looking for an IT & Systems Administrator to own internal IT end to end, from day-one provisioning to the security of every account our team touches. You’ll be our first dedicated IT hire, tasked with building the foundation and running it day to day. This isn’t a role for someone looking to build a team; it’s for someone who’s seen what great IT looks like at scale, knows how to build it scrappily at a startup, and genuinely loves doing the work.

What You’ll Do

• Select and implement SSO, bring our apps behind it, and enforce MFA everywhere it belongs
• Stand up device management across Mac and Windows — enrollment, encryption, patching, and an inventory of every device we own
• Administer Google Workspace — users, groups, sharing policies, and security settings — as the source of truth for who has access to what
• Build an access model that holds at 100+ people: role-based permissions, regular access reviews, and a clear request-and-approval path
• Own onboarding so every new hire has a working laptop, logins, and the right access before their first standup — every time, not “probably”
• Make offboarding airtight: access revoked, devices recovered, and files handed over the day someone leaves
• Be the helpdesk for everyone at Tin Can — access, hardware, accounts, and the everyday “this isn’t working” — so IT stops being someone’s side job
• Own the IT side of office moves and build-outs — workstations, conference-room A/V, and wireless access points
• Write the runbooks, standards, and self-serve help docs that keep IT from bottlenecking on you, and report on what’s working, like time to provision and open risks

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in IT at technology companies, ideally including time at both an early-stage startup and time at a company operating at scale; you know what great looks like and how to build toward it
