Job description
You'll join our 4-person Security & IT team, working closely with Office Management and collaborating across all departments. As a cybersecurity scale-up handling sensitive secrets for Fortune 500 companies, our IT operations are a trust multiplier-every access control, device policy, and automation we build reinforces the security posture we promise our customers. With GitGuardian growth expected in the next 18 months, your work will directly enable that scale while maintaining our SOC 2 certification and zero-trust principles. You're not just "IT support"-you're building the secure, frictionless foundation that lets engineers ship faster, sales teams work globally, and the company expand without operational chaos.

- Build self-service tools and documentation to reduce repetitive support tickets
- Optimize device management policies across Mac and Linux fleets using Kandji MDM
Operational support (40% of your time)
