About the Role
TechOps at Kraken is a modern, lean evolution of traditional enterprise IT, spanning frontline support to high-impact technical projects and long-term strategic improvements. We are building a small, highly effective TechOps team and are looking for an ambitious, experienced TechOps Generalist to help us scale Kraken safely, securely, and with a strong focus on people. This is a broad role with a huge amount of variety, working across identity, devices, SaaS, networking, automation, and office infrastructure. Ambiguity is a constant, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys making sense of it and turning it into action. We operate almost entirely in the cloud, so you’ll be exposed to a wide range of modern tools and technologies across the business.
Responsibilities
- Provide hands-on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line support across the business
- Own and deliver TechOps work across identity, devices, SaaS, networking, and office infrastructure
- Work closely with the TechOps Lead to balance reactive support with proactive, planned improvements
- Contribute to technical projects that improve security, reliability, and scalability
- Design, improve, and automate systems and processes to reduce manual effort and operational risk
- Collaborate closely with Security, Engineering, and other teams to balance security, productivity, and user experience
- Support our offices across the globe
- Identify recurring problems and help build long-term solutions rather than short-term workarounds
Requirements
- Strong hands-on experience in an IT, TechOps, or systems-focused role
- Deep knowledge of Windows and macOS, with confident troubleshooting skills
- Hands-on experience providing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line support
- Comfort operating in highly ambiguous environments and managing competing priorities
- A strong technical foundation across identity, MDM, SaaS, and networking
- Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- A people-first mindset and a conscientious approach to decision-making
- Experience supporting macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android environments
- Experience with Identity & Access Management platforms (e.g. Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra)
- Understanding of SSO technologies such as OAuth, SAML, and SCIM
- Enjoyment of scripting, APIs, and automating repetitive or error-prone tasks
- Experience working across time zones or with distributed teams
- A foundational understanding of programming or software engineering
- Familiarity with security tooling such as CrowdStrike, Kolide, osquery, or Zscaler
- Experience with office networking (we use Cisco Meraki)
- Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS
