TechOps Automation Engineer

Redesign workflows for an AI-first world; embedding LLMs, automations, and better tooling where they create real value.

Build things yourself: prototype in n8n, write a Python script, call an API, wire up a Notion AI agent. You don’t hand specs off, you ship v1, gather feedback, and iterate.

Identify and implement automation opportunities that reduce manual work across teams.

Embed deeply across the business, partnering hands-on with different teams day to day. Building trusted relationships and gaining a really strong, end-to-end understanding of how the business operates.

Handle some core TechOps work too: basic IT support, device management, SaaS admin; because the people closest to the workflows often spot the best automation opportunities.

Own and continuously improve our internal tooling and operational workflows (e.g. Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, MDM, password management, etc.).

Improve how access is requested, granted, documented, and reviewed—balancing security and practicality.⁠

Support secure onboarding and device setup practices across the company.

Coordinate joiner onboarding steps with People and managers: account provisioning, group membership, security setup, and first-day readiness.

Manage hardware procurement and laptop setup, including MDM enrolment and baseline security configuration.

Teams have adopted practical AI solutions that run reliably day-to-day (with clear ownership, documentation, and measurable time saved).

Reduced manual work through automation and better workflows.

Clearer access management and better visibility over who has access to what (without slowing teams down).

Security posture improves through practical controls and high completion of required training.

New joiners are onboarded smoothly, securely, and on time (accounts, laptop, access, first-day setup).

With the nature of the role, we’ve found that candidates who offer logical thinking with solid troubleshooting capabilities, with a desire to identify and address underlying issues make a strong start. In addition to this, we look for the following

Excellent communication skills; you can communicate technical concepts to any audience

You’re great at turning ambiguous problems into practical, well-owned solutions.

Enjoy collaboration, open communication and reaching across functional borders.

You can balance security with usability (you don’t default to “no”, you default to “how”).

You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and enjoy being a trusted partner.

You like building repeatable processes and strong documentation—not just firefighting.

Bonus (not required): experience with Google Workspace Admin, MDM, endpoint security, AI, or automation platforms.
