Kikoff: The Fintech Powering Financial Security at Scale
Kikoff is a profitable, pre-IPO fintech company on a mission to empower everyone to achieve financial security. With record revenue growth in 2025 and a unicorn valuation, we’ve built a suite of products that help millions of people build credit, access liquidity, and save money.
We’re scaling fast. Join us if you want to build something meaningful and help millions of people move forward financially.
Why Kikoff:
This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, a strong sense of craftsmanship, and the desire to create lasting work and work relationships. Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.
The role
Kikoff is hiring its first dedicated Systems Engineer. This isn’t an IT support role — you’ll be standing up AI-powered internal tooling (MCP, agents), owning our corporate identity foundation, and improving our overall corporate security. You’ll work directly with the engineering and security teams.
What you’ll own
- Corporate IT infrastructure — own and evolve our SaaS stack (Okta, Google Workspace, Slack). Procurement, provisioning, and lifecycle management
- Identity & device trust — operate and mature our MDM stack (Rippling/Jamf/Kandji), enforce Okta Device Trust policies, and ensure endpoints meet our security baseline
- MCP servers & AI agents — build and maintain internal MCP servers; design agents that automate internal ops and extend what the security and engineering teams can do
- Endpoint hardening & macOS/Windows fleet management — configuration profiles, CIS benchmark enforcement, macOS scripting, software deployment, and patch management
- Security automation — turn manual security tasks into automated workflows: access reviews, alert triage, onboarding/offboarding, posture checks
What we’re looking for
Must-have
- 4+ years in systems engineering, corporate IT, or a hybrid IT/security role — ideally at a startup
- Deep macOS fluency: shell/Python scripting, configuration profiles, and hands-on MDM troubleshooting
- Hands-on MDM experience (i.e., Rippling, Jamf, Kandji) — enrollment, policies, smart groups, zero-touch provisioning
- Okta administration: lifecycle management, device trust policies, group rules
- Proficient in scripting and building software — bash and Python at minimum. Expected to own automation scripts and internal tooling.
- SaaS stack management: tool inventory, vendor renewals, access governance
- Proficient using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex or similar) as part of your daily workflow
Strong plus
- Experience building or operating MCP servers or LLM agents
- Familiarity with security concepts: least privilege, zero trust endpoint posture, log forwarding, DLP basics
- Exposure to AWS IAM or cloud infrastructure
- Experience with device trust architectures (Okta Device Trust, CrowdStrike, or similar)
- Built internal tooling from scratch — provisioning workflows, self-service automations, or agent-driven ops
