IT Systems Engineer

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential deep-tech client in London who is scaling rapidly and needs an IT Systems Engineer to own the reliability and evolution of their core business systems. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role where you'll architect and manage the identity, device management, collaboration, and business-systems stack that every team depends on daily.

You'll be the final escalation point for complex, cross-system problems and lead company-wide systems projects from scoping through delivery. A significant identity provider and device management migration is on the near-term roadmap, offering substantial architectural work from day one. Beyond maintaining the core stack, you'll act as an AI enabler across the organization—finding manual processes worth automating, evaluating tools, and building agents that multiply productivity while maintaining strict security standards.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and roadmap for the business-systems stack, including identity/access management, Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Atlassian, and adjacent HRIS, ATS, and finance platforms, ensuring they scale ahead of company growth
• Lead medium-to-large, company-wide IT and systems projects end to end—from scoping through delivery—automating recurring work, streamlining tooling, and improving the employee experience
• Serve as the final escalation point for complex, cross-system issues, providing expert-level root cause analysis and implementing architectural changes that prevent recurrence
• Champion AI adoption across the business by partnering with functional teams to design scalable, automated processes and building tools, scripts, and workflows (Google Workspace, Apps Script, IDP APIs) that eliminate manual toil
• Partner with InfoSec on SaaS vendor reviews and rollout, ensuring new tools arrive with SSO, SCIM, and least-privilege access in place
• Proactively identify and fix friction or quality gaps in IT and systems operations, mentor others, and exemplify ownership within the team

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in IT systems engineering, with a proven track record of owning systems end to end rather than working tickets within someone else's design
• Expert-level knowledge of Windows and Mac device management, Google Workspace administration, and Google Cloud Identity across users, devices, and applications
• Deep, hands-on experience with SSO and identity platforms—ideally Okta, OneLogin, or JumpCloud. Experience rebuilding or migrating between identity providers is a strong plus
• Experience administering SaaS and collaboration tools at company scale, particularly Slack, Notion, and Atlassian (Jira/Confluence)
• An AI-first mindset with a practical focus on using AI and LLM-powered tools to streamline IT operations, improve user self-service, automate repetitive work, and build agents that act as force multipliers
• Coding and scripting experience in one or more general-purpose languages, plus familiarity with Google Workspace developer tools (Apps Script, Workspace APIs)
• Solid grasp of IT security fundamentals: role-based access control, least-privilege access, MDM, data security, and identity best practice
• Proven ownership: a track record of taking ambiguous, medium-to-large problems and driving them to durable resolution without heavy oversight
• Nice to have: exposure to a fast-moving hardware or deep-tech startup, and comfort with infrastructure-as-code-style change management culture
