What the team is looking for.
This is a hands-on technical role with lead responsibilities. You will join during a period of high growth for the IT team as the company expands its headcount, global footprint and opens new offices.
You will work closely with the Security and Operations teams to keep our endpoints, offices, networks, and SaaS tools secure, while making sure people stay as productive as possible with the tools we have.
You will lead the IT Engineering team, balancing hands-on technical work with mentoring, project planning, and hiring.
Responsibilities:

- Strong hands-on background in IT Engineering, Technical Operations, or a DevOps-adjacent role, with an automation-first mindset and experience managing enterprise scale IT systems

- Expertise with Mobile Device Management tooling (e.g. Jamf, Kandji, Fleet) across a device fleet.
- Scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar) with a proven track record of automating compliance checks, device configuration, and other IT security tasks.
- Experience managing office network equipment (e.g. Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti), including office buildouts.
- Proven ability to maintain compliance with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 (or similar) standards, paired with a friendly, end-user-focused attitude.
- Prior experience in a high-growth or startup environment.
Benefits:
- Stock options; we want you to have ownership in the company and share the successes that lie ahead.
- Remote-first; we look at who you are rather than where you live.
