About the Role
Rain makes the next generation of payments possible across the globe. We’re a lean and mighty team of passionate builders and veteran founders. Our infrastructure makes stablecoins usable in the real-world by powering card transactions, cross-border payments, B2B purchases, remittances, and more. We partner with fintechs, neobanks, and institutions to help them launch solutions that are global, inclusive, and efficient. You will have the opportunity to deliver massive impact at a hypergrowth company that is funded by some of the top investors in fintech, crypto, and SaaS, including Sapphire Ventures, Norwest, Galaxy Ventures, Lightspeed, Khosla, and several more. If you’re curious, bold, and excited to help shape a borderless financial future, we’d love to talk.
Operating at the epicenter of stablecoin innovation means moving fast and thinking globally. Our team reflects the diverse, international audiences we serve. We hire people who stay agile as the tide ebbs and flows, fix what’s broken without waiting, chase trends before they peak, and remember to have fun through it all.
We’re looking for our first IT Manager to own and evolve Rain’s internal technology and security foundation as we scale. Today, Rain is growing rapidly, driven by frequent onboarding, expanding tooling, and increasing security requirements. We operate in a sector that is actively targeted by malicious actors, so we need someone who can baseline security—bringing structure, best practices, and calm execution to a fast-moving environment.
This role is both hands-on and strategic. You’ll manage day-to-day IT operations while also leading key security initiatives like access controls, device management, MFA, and audits across our internal tools. As Rain scales globally, you’ll design systems and processes that scale with the company.
Reporting to the CTO, you’ll work cross-functionally to ensure employees have the tools they need to work effectively, without compromising security or compliance. This is a foundational role with significant ownership and the opportunity to shape how IT and security operate at Rain for years to come.

Serve as the primary owner of Rain’s IT vendors and tooling (e.g., Deel IT, JumpCloud), ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and clear escalation paths
Coordinate device lifecycle management, including MDM enrollment, device returns, replacements, and inventory tracking
Support employees with day-to-day IT needs such as access issues, VPN support, and hardware troubleshooting
Build scalable access and identity management
Own identity and access management across tools, ensuring users have the right access at the right time

Audit and clean up existing permissions across tools, including 1Password vault access and admin roles
Raise Rain’s internal security posture
Manage security configurations across internal tools, including MFA enforcement, device policies, and authentication standards
Lead the rollout and management of hardware-based authentication (e.g., YubiKeys)
Define and document policies around device usage, access, and security best practices
Partner with Engineering and Security to identify gaps, improve controls, and prepare for future audits or compliance needs
Enable scale and automation
Improve and automate IT workflows using tools like JumpCloud (e.g., preconfigured apps, scripts, policies)
Ensure enterprise plans, licenses, and seat usage are managed efficiently across tools
Continuously evaluate and improve Rain’s internal IT and security stack as the company grows
Office and vendor coordination
Support new office setup and office IT needs, coordinating with external partners as needed

Security-conscious – You think deeply about least privilege, access controls, and authentication, even when balancing speed and usability
Clear communicator – You can explain technical concepts simply, write clear documentation, and partner effectively with both technical and non-technical teams
Experienced – 4–7+ years in IT operations, systems administration, or similar roles, ideally at a hyper growth startup or fintech business
Experience being an early or first IT hire, building processes and foundations from scratch
Familiarity with security tooling and best practices (MDM, MFA, hardware keys, audits)
