Zusammenfassung

Upvest is seeking a Senior Engineer to join a small, high‑ownership TechOps function. You’ll own the core IT stack, drive automation, and partner with Security to ensure safe, scalable operations across the company.

In this hands‑on role, you’ll shape tooling decisions, mentor teams, and aggressively pursue improvements with AI‑assisted workflows. Remote work across Europe is supported, with hybrid options where appropriate.

Qualifikationen

• Demonstrated ability to think critically, challenge assumptions, prioritise high‑value work, and propose better alternatives. Not just execute
• Proven experience building and maintaining automations using tools like Okta Workflows, n8n, Tines, Make or similar, with real examples you can speak to
• 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
• Strong understanding of macOS and Apple device management (MDM/DEP)
• Prior experience with Okta, Google Workspace is required

Aufgaben

• 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
• Collaborating with the Security team on AI tool governance and how LLMs connect to internal systems, ensuring safe and controlled adoption
• Participating in response activities when a security event occurs

Jobbeschreibung

About the role:

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.

What you’ll do:

• 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
• Collaborating with the Security team on AI tool governance and how LLMs connect to internal systems, ensuring safe and controlled adoption
• Participating in response activities when a security event occurs

What you bring:

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. Everything else in this role is built on top of that.

• Demonstrated ability to think critically, challenge assumptions, prioritise high‑value work, and propose better alternatives. Not just execute
• Proven experience building and maintaining automations using tools like Okta Workflows, n8n, Tines, Make or similar, with real examples you can speak to
• 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
• Strong understanding of macOS and Apple device management (MDM/DEP)
• Prior experience with Okta, Google Workspace is required

It’s great if you have:

• Familiarity with Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions, and Terraform is a plus, particularly in the context of infrastructure‑as‑code
• Knowledge of scripting languages or our tech stack (Golang, Python, Docker, k8s) is a plus, but not a requirement

How we Upvest in you:

• Best‑in‑class AI tools: Every Upvenger has €20,000 per year to spend on the best AI tools available — so you're always working with the most powerful models and tooling on the market.
• Impact‑driven work: We’re building the infrastructure that will power the future of investing in Europe. It’s complex, ambitious, and meaningful. You’ll work with modern technologies and create something entirely new. No legacy systems, no limits.
• Wellbeing: Recharge with 30 days of annual leave and maintain a healthy lifestyle with sports benefits. Access confidential professional coaching and enjoy the flexibility to work remotely abroad for up to 183 days a year. Recharge with UpRest, a one-month fully paid sabbatical after every 4 years of working at Upvest.
• Development: Growth is in our DNA. Each Upvenger has access to a personal development budget and the freedom to decide how to use it.
• Flexible work environment: Work from any of our hubs in Berlin, London or Tallinn hybrid or remotely across Europe, depending on the role. We give you the choice and budget to work where you’re most comfortable and productive, either at home or in the office. You choose.
• Compensation and equity: We believe that all Upvengers contribute to our success and deserve a competitive, above‑market salary and a participation in our employee equity program.
• Team celebrations: Participate in company‑wide events, such as UpFest, dinners, offsites and our Holiday party, to connect with colleagues and celebrate our achievements.
• Inclusion: We’re committed to a culture where everyone belongs and thrives. Our Employee Resources Groups foster inclusion and connection, like Upfem for our female Upvengers, or UpVergent supporting neurodivergent Upvengers and allies.

Upvest is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
