Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a Senior Engineer, you'll be a core part of a small, high-ownership TechOps function at Upvest. This is not an execution-only role. You're expected to bring ideas, challenge assumptions, flag risks early, and operate with a high degree of autonomy.
- You are trusted to make senior-level decisions independently across prioritisation, vendor conversations, and urgent matters.
- TechOps owns most internal technologies, including endpoints and SaaS, and partners with every business unit to drive automation, improve processes, and bring emerging technologies into the organisation where they add real value.
- Owning our core internal IT stack (i.e., Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, etc.), user lifecycle management, and security controls in close collaboration with our Security team.
- Managing our Mac laptop fleet, zero-touch DEP/MDM device deployments, and ensuring company endpoints meet the company's security standards.
- Acting as a trusted advisor to teams: evaluating, challenging, and prioritising tooling requests rather than simply fulfilling them.
- Continuously looking for ways to automate and improve processes across TechOps and every department we support, and taking ownership of seeing those improvements through.
- Actively leveraging AI tools in your daily work to raise the quality and speed of your output, and helping the broader team do the same.
- Zusammenarbeit mit dem Security-Team bei der Governance von KI-Tools und der Verbindung von LLMs zu internen Systemen, um eine sichere und kontrollierte Einführung zu gewährleisten.
- Participating in response activities when a security event occurs.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Genuinely hands-on - you're comfortable owning support end-to-end across all levels, from basic helpdesk to complex technical issues, without drawing lines around what's 'your' problem.
- Demonstrated ability to think critically, challenge assumptions, prioritise high-value work, and propose better alternatives. Not just execute.
- Active, hands-on use of AI tools (LLMs, AI-assisted workflows, and similar) to meaningfully improve the quality and speed of your work. This is a baseline expectation, not a nice-to-have.
- Starkes Verständnis von macOS und Apple-Geräteverwaltung (MDM/DEP).
- Vertrautheit mit Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions und Terraform ist ein Plus, insbesondere im Kontext von Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Knowledge of scripting languages or our tech stack (Golang, Python, Docker, k8s) is a plus, but not a requirement.
Experience
- Proven experience building and maintaining automations using tools like Okta Workflows, n8n, Tines, Make or similar, with real examples you can speak to.
- Prior experience with Okta, Google Workspace is required.
