Build at Auger
What You’ll Do
What you bring
Auger is the autonomous operating system for supply chains — the layer that finally allows disparate systems like ERP, WMS, and TMS to work together instead of against each other.
Most supply chain software surfaces problems and waits for a human to act. Auger solves them. Our AI detects disruptions, evaluates trade-offs, and executes decisions automatically — moving from signal to action in seconds, not weeks. We eliminate the Coordination Tax: the billions in capital and time lost when disconnected systems force the best people in the business to become the Human API between planning and execution.
At Auger, we design autonomy into our systems. We expect the same from our people.
That means:
- Clear ownership, not decision by consensus
- First principles over inherited patterns
- Shipping systems, not slide decks
- Fast feedback from reality, not opinions
If you want to build, ship, and iterate against reality, Auger is for you.
Auger was founded by Dave Clark and is backed by $150M from Oak HC/FT and Eclipse Capital. Our team works from Bellevue, WA and Dallas, TX.
About the Team & RoleAuger is building the operating system for supply chain. Every engineer, scientist, and operator running that mission relies on tools and systems that just work. No friction, no lag, no firefighting. That's this role.
You're not a help desk. You're the person who makes operations possible from the inside out, keeping Auger's own infrastructure as tight and reliable as the product we're building for our customers.
- Be the IT presence in our office, owning employee support, in-office technology (AV, networking), and the day-to-day reliability of the environment our team builds in.
- Partner closely with the IT Operations Engineer covering our Dallas office.
- Own onboarding and offboarding logistics end-to-end: account provisioning, hardware management, and making sure every new hire hits the ground running.
- Build automation workflows that eliminate coordination overhead and amplify team output using tools like Tines, Claude Code, or n8n.
- Administer and scale SaaS tools including Microsoft 365 and Intune; manage macOS devices via Jamf with security and compliance configurations that hold up under scrutiny.
- Document workflows and improve IT processes with scale in mind. Systems that work for 50 people should still work at 500.
- Participate in an on-call rotation for urgent support issues; be the person the team can count on when something breaks.
- 5+ years of experience in IT operations or a related field.
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 at scale, including identity and access management and its use as an IDP.
- Comfort supporting both macOS and Windows environments and managing a distributed, mixed device fleet; Jamf experience is a strong plus.
- An instinct for automation. You see manual processes as problems worth solving, not just tickets to close.
- Clear, confident communication: you translate technical issues into plain language and leave people feeling helped, not talked past.
- The ability to operate with minimal oversight in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and initiative matters more than waiting for direction.
- AI-native working style. You use AI tools to amplify your output, apply judgment about when and how to use them, and hold yourself to a high bar on what you ship.
