Job Description

An employer is seeking a Jira Platform Specialist to join their team in Austin, Tx. He or she will be joining a growing technology company where the Jira Platform Administrator will come in and immediately address platform mismanagement, reset permissions, and clean up existing configurations before building the Jira environment to scale. This is not a hands-on Jira ticket-work role — it is a platform architecture and governance role for someone who has done this before and can hit the ground running. As this company has grown, the infrastructure has not and the ideal candidate has shown the ability to set up a platform to scale. This is a 2–3-month long contract and fully remote.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.To learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.

Required Skills & Experience

Proven experience cleaning up and restructuring a mismanaged Jira environment

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching.
