Be part of the team who keeps Helion's team securely connected as we build toward commercial fusion power. This is a hands-on, builder role for someone who would rather automate a problem away than ticket it twice. You'll support the identity, security, and application systems that everyone here depends on, including automation, integration, onboarding, migrations, and decommissioning.
🏢 About Helion
We are a fusion power company based in Everett, WA, with the mission to build the world's first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity. Our vision is a world with clean, reliable, and affordable energy for everyone.
🎯 The Role
Your week splits roughly evenly between support and project work, including both responding to real-time requests and performing planned and break-fix deployments. You'll join a small, tight-knit team, take on a meaningful share of its load, and bring the scripting depth to reduce manual work. You'll be a trusted technical partner to HR, Legal, GSOC, and business teams, with a seat at the table on access, governance, and risk, and you'll be on the front line when security events happen.

Detect and respond to security events using Microsoft Sentinel, partnering with managed detection and response teams on escalations, log source tuning and remediation through to closure
Administer Microsoft 365 and Atlassian platforms, build integrations with REST APIs, webhooks, and middleware, and review new applications and AI tools for security before they enter the enterprise
