Engineering
Corporate Technology Engineer
18 Feb 2026
The Role
We are hiring a Corporate IT Engineer to take ownership of our internal technology landscape and materially increase the maturity of our corporate IT, security, and governance.
This role exists to move the business from “working, but fragile” corporate IT to well-designed, well-operated, and auditable systems. While some tools are already in place, much of the current setup relies on informal processes, manual effort, and individual heroics.
This is an engineering-minded role, not a ticket-driven helpdesk position. You will design, implement, and operate systems that scale. The role reports into Dev Ops and works closely with Operations, Security, and HR.
Key Responsibilities
Take ownership of the corporate IT stack and drive improvements across identity, devices, endpoints, and employee-facing systems.
Design and implement scalable, enforceable processes for:
Joiners, movers, and leavers
Device provisioning and decommissioning
Access control and authentication workflows
Own and administer Google Workspace, including configuration, security controls, and user lifecycle management
Implement and maintain identity and access management using modern auth standards (e.g. SAML, OIDC, SSO)
Own endpoint and MDM tooling (e.g. JumpCloud, Google MDM, Apple Business Manager), including testing, configuration, reporting, and enforcement
Improve endpoint security posture across laptops and mobile devices (encryption, AV/EDR, patching)
Design and operate a sustainable hardware lifecycle for laptops and other corporate devices
Mature employee security initiatives, including phishing simulations, training campaigns, and fraud awareness
Translate compliance and audit requirements into practical technical controls
Reduce reliance on manual processes and undocumented “tribal knowledge”
Provide ongoing operational support where required (e.g. access issues, device lockouts), while systematically reducing reactive work over time
What We’re Looking For
A mid-level to senior Corporate IT / Enterprise IT engineer with hands-on implementation experience.
Strong understanding of identity, authentication, and access workflows (SSO, SAML, OIDC, SCIM).
Experience administering Google Workspace in a production environment.
Solid knowledge of endpoint management, MDM, and device security.
An engineering mindset: you think in systems, trade-offs, and failure modes—not just tools.
Experience rolling out company-wide technology or workflow changes.
Comfortable operating independently and owning a function end-to-end.
Pragmatic and delivery-focused: you know how to improve maturity without over-engineering.
Our Expectations
This role is expected to increase maturity over time, not just keep the lights on. Success will be measured by clearer ownership, fewer manual interventions, better security posture, and reduced distraction for engineering leadership.
You will be trusted to identify gaps, prioritise work, and sequence improvements sensibly based on risk and impact.
Within the first 30 days:
Develop a clear understanding of the current corporate IT landscape, tools, and pain points.
Build relationships with Engineering, Operations, and HR stakeholders.
Review existing configurations for Google Workspace, identity, endpoints, and MDM.
Identify the highest-risk gaps and areas of immediate fragility.
Produce a practical short-term improvement plan with clear priorities.
Within the first 60 days:
Begin implementing improvements to identity and access workflows (joiners, movers, leavers)
Introduce more consistent device provisioning and baseline security controls
Improve visibility and reporting across endpoints and access
Reduce reliance on ad-hoc or manual processes in at least one major area
Start maturing employee security training and phishing workflows
Within the first 90 days:
Establish clear ownership and repeatable processes across core corporate IT domains.
Deliver measurable improvements in security posture and audit readiness.
Significantly reduce time spent on reactive, low-value corporate IT tasks.
Leave behind systems that are documented, operable, and understandable by others.
