What is Tech Ops?
A more modern, more lean version of a traditional enterprise IT team. We cover everything from what most people would call “1st line support” all the way up to high-level strategic planning, and everything in between.

We tackle big problems and the breadth of work is huge. Dealing with ambiguity is a key part of working in Tech Ops, and every day will be a new and exciting one, working on varying challenges across the company.

We have a cloud-first approach to everything we do. This allows us to scale quickly and focus on things where we can add the most value. No on-prem AD here!

  • The replacement of insecure factors like SMS with phishing-resistant factors

What you'll need
  • Experience leading on a range of technical projects across various technologies and platforms
  • Experience with scripting, using APIs and automating mundane, error-prone repetitive tasks.
  • To be comfortable with a huge amount of ambiguity and spinning a lot of plates all at the same time.
  • Experience working with multiple teams and managing multiple stakeholders.
  • Experience supporting, managing and deploying applications to mac OS, Windows, i OS and Android devices.
  • Experience with Identity & Access Management systems like Okta or Microsoft Entra.
