Role Overview

You own and continuously improve the systems, integrations, and automations that power Hilo's entire organization. You connect tools, eliminate manual work, and ensure data flows reliably across every function — from commercial and customer-facing teams to operations, finance, and beyond.

Your key output is a connected, efficient, and well-documented tech stack that scales with the company.
