Role Description
We are a cloud-native crypto market-making firm operating across regulated jurisdictions. Our Secure Engineering team designs, builds, and owns the platforms and configuration that the wider IT estate runs on, security-first. It is a small team: what you build, the rest of IT operates.
You will work as part of the secure engineering team, configuring and maintaining IT systems across the organisation - identity, endpoint, networking, backup, workflow automations, and SaaS enterprise platforms. It suits someone who can run projects end to end with minimal input from senior management, while keeping IT Operations and the rest of the team in the loop.
- Configure and maintain IT systems across the organisation, working within the team's core enterprise cloud-native IT platforms as part of the secure engineering team
- Source and evaluate new tooling: run vendor assessments, propose solution designs and bring in what the business needs
- Own the lifecycle of existing vendor products operations: day to day operations, maintenance and upgrades, deployments and migrations
- Run your own projects with a good degree of autonomy, keeping senior management informed and looping them in where their input adds value
- Take part in an IT on-call rota and ticket queue management
- Provide IT support to other departments as needed
Requirements
Must Have
- 5+ years' experience in IT engineering or a similar technical role, ideally in SaaS-heavy, regulated environments

- Able to work autonomously and see projects through with minimal senior management input, while remaining collaborative with the wider team
- Comfortable in a small, high-ownership team
Preferred
- Experience in financial services or crypto / digital assets
- Familiarity with office collaboration suites, VDI, Zero Trust, perimeter, data and identity security best practices.
- Experience with ITSM / change tooling (JSM or similar), ideally with workflow automation
