Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled, polished, reliable, and experienced Senior IT Engineer to join our dynamic IT engineering and consulting team. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in multiple environments simultaneously across a variety of industries and clients. This role requires up to five (5) days of on-site work in the greater London Area, with the possibility of additional ad hoc remote support. This role blends hands‑on technical troubleshooting and IT experience with strong client‑facing skills and client relationship management. The ideal candidate thrives in fast‑paced environments, adapts quickly to different systems, and delivers a polite, professional, and white‑glove client experience.

This role requires cross‑platform expertise, including proficiency in Microsoft Technologies, Google Workspace / Google Cloud, AWS, Identity Providers (IdPs), Endpoint Management / MDMs, Network Management, Cloud Servers and Solutions, Cybersecurity, and Data Backup / Disaster Recovery (BCDR).

Experience with compliance frameworks (such as CIS, NIST 800‑171, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, SOC2, and SEC) is highly preferred.

In addition to strong technical skills, this role requires the ability to provide high quality of service and client consulting skills, such as problem‑solving skills, issue management and resolution, and effective communication. We seek candidates who are highly organized, very responsible, great with teamwork and collaboration with our company headquarters in the U.S., and someone who strives for excellence in their work as a point of pride.

This role is ideal for someone who appreciates variety and flexibility and wants to support some of the most innovative and rapidly growing companies coming out of the Silicon Valley. We support many clients, and each one has their own technical requirements, technical environment, processes, and company culture. We customize every environment and do not force clients into our own favorite tools or tech stack.

• Lead the scoping, design, and implementation of IT projects, ensuring alignment with client requirements and industry best practices.
• Utilize in‑depth knowledge of Microsoft and Google ecosystems, including Azure, Office 365, and Google Workspace.
• Manage Identity Providers (IdPs) and Single Sign‑On (SSO) solutions to ensure secure and efficient access management.
• Manage highly secure wired and wireless network infrastructure.
• Implement data backup and disaster recovery solutions as per client requirements.
• Utilize in‑depth knowledge of virtualization solutions including Hyper‑V, ESX, Azure, and AWS.

• Ensure IT systems and processes adhere to relevant compliance standards. Conduct regular assessments and implement necessary controls to maintain compliance.

• Strong responsibility, accountability, responsiveness, follow‑through, and organizational skills.
• Strong vendor management.
• Ability to partner with and communicate effectively with non‑technical stakeholders.
