Job Description
IT & Security Engineer | Scale-up | Home Based
UK · Fully Remote · £55,000-£65,000
A high-growth, product-led tech scale-up is looking for a hands-on IT & Security Engineer to take real ownership of internal IT and security foundations - not just keep the lights on, but shape how things work as the company scales.
This is a true individual contributor role where you’ll be the go-to person for endpoint security, identity, device management, and day-to-day IT operations.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Owning endpoint security across the fleet (EDR, alert triage, hardening), with the freedom to improve and tune rather than simply monitor
- Running and improving MDM for a predominantly Mac/iOS environment (with some Windows and Android), defining standards and best practice
- Designing and managing secure Apple Business Manager provisioning, including improving existing device hygiene
- Helping implement an Identity Provider (SSO/MFA) as a greenfield project, with real input into tooling and approach
- Owning joiner/mover/leaver processes and SaaS access controls, ensuring security remains friction-light
- Acting as the main point of contact for internal IT and access issues
- Automating where possible and continuously improving the security posture as the business grows
- Collaborating closely with engineering and leadership on security initiatives, not working in a silo

What They’re Looking For
- Strong hands-on experience with MDM (Jamf, Intune, Miradore, Kandji, etc.)
- Experience with endpoint security tooling (CrowdStrike, Defender, Carbon Black, etc.)
- Familiarity with IdP / SSO platforms (Okta, Azure AD, Google, etc.)
- Comfortable with scripting and automation (ideally TypeScript)
- Background in a startup, scale-up, or MSP environment where you’ve owned a broad IT/security remit
- Someone confident acting as the primary IT & security owner day to day, with guidance and backing from senior tech leadership
Browse our curated collection of remote jobs across all categories and industries, featuring positions from top companies worldwide.
Why This Role?
- Full ownership of IT & security foundations - you set direction, not just follow process
- Greenfield initiatives (IdP, SIEM, Apple provisioning) rather than untangling legacy mess
- Remote-first, high-trust culture with flexibility and minimal bureaucracy
- A genuinely low-ego environment with strong retention and thoughtful hiring
- Room to grow the role into automation, security engineering, or adjacent technical areas over time
Location: UK-based, fully remote (optional London office access)
