About the role
The IT team works closely with all Betterment employees and across all of the technologies they rely on every day. We are responsible for access management, SaaSops, traditional software, hardware, and the networking infrastructure at our offices. We are committed to automating as much as possible to make it easier for our staff to support themselves, while still providing them white-glove service. We are always looking at the latest tech to see how we can incorporate it into the business and working with Procurement to roll it out to staff. We work closely with Security to make sure our staff is kept safe through our Mac-based management tool. We know the right tools and automation are a force multiplier for the continued success of a fast growing business.
