IT Operations Specialist

Company Overview

Athennian increases trust in business. Our products help legal, finance, and tax teams be transaction and audit-ready by organizing business entity and corporate structure information. Over a million business entities in almost every country are managed on Athennian to automate workflows for ownership, company secretarial, governance, tax, and compliance.

The Role

We’re looking for a motivated and hands-on Systems & IT Operations Specialist to join our DevOps team. This role reports to the Senior Engineering Manager, DevOps & Infrastructure.

You’ll manage Athennian’s internal IT landscape — from ticket triage and Google Workspace administration to mobile device management (MDM), endpoint security, and compliance support. You’ll thrive in a fast-moving environment where no two days look the same, balancing structure with flexibility and showing initiative to solve problems proactively.

While this position sits within the broader DevOps function, it is primarily focused on IT operations and internal systems management rather than software or cloud engineering. As you grow in the role, you’ll have the opportunity to specialize further in DevOps or advance along the IT operations leadership path.

Location

While Athennian operates as a remote-first company, this opportunity is open to candidates located in Canada only.

Preference will be given to individuals based in the Toronto or Calgary area, as there may be occasions where on-site presence is required for network maintenance, equipment setup, or team collaboration.

Our Culture

Our company thrives in a fast-paced startup environment where every team member plays a critical role in driving success. We value ambitious, results-driven individuals who are not only proactive in identifying opportunities but are also committed to going the extra mile. In our culture, collaboration and initiative fuel our growth as we embrace new challenges, learn constantly, and move quickly to seize opportunities. If you're a go-getter who thrives on impact and thrives in a dynamic setting, you'll fit right in.

Our values are:

Outcome Driven: We focus on setting ambitious goals and achieving measurable results, valuing success by the outcomes we deliver.

Wide Responsibility: Our team is empowered to shape success, taking ownership from problem identification to solution implementation.

Learning Mindset: We embrace curiosity, reject the status quo, and encourage continuous learning and agility.

Strategic Speed: We make fast, effective decisions and embrace a bias for action to seize opportunities quickly.

Benefits at Athennian

We’re a remote-first company built on trust, autonomy, and accountability. With that flexibility comes responsibility — we’re a lean team where everyone is expected to bring their full effort and expertise. We believe in real work-life balance: every employee starts with a minimum of three weeks of vacation, five sick days, and six personal or flex days, plus a company-wide winter holiday shutdown so everyone can rest and recharge together.

Our benefits are designed to support your well-being in meaningful ways. You’ll have access to comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage, long-term disability, accidental death & dismemberment, an Employee Assistance Program, and a Health Spending Account to help cover additional expenses. We also offer flexible parental leave benefits, including options for top-ups or additional paid time off — because family matters. And to help you get set up for success from day one, we provide a work-from-home allowance.
