Technology | Senior IT Engineer | Dubai

We are a cloud-native crypto market-making firm operating across regulated jurisdictions. Our Secure Engineering team designs, builds, and owns the platforms and configuration that the wider IT estate runs on, security-first. It is a small team - what you build, the rest of IT operates.

You will work as part of the secure engineering team, configuring and maintaining IT systems across the organisation - identity, endpoint, and SaaS platforms - while also owning vendor and contract management for the tools the team relies on. It suits someone who can run projects end to end with minimal input from senior management, while keeping IT Operations and the rest of the team in the loop.

Configure and maintain IT systems across the organisation, working within the team's core platforms (Okta, Jamf, Google Workspace, Cloudflare) as part of the secure engineering team
