is a young, fully remote, bootstrapped startup growing fast. Trusted by over 1 million users worldwide, we're an EdTech SaaS company dedicated to transforming the way businesses upskill their teams in DevOps, Cloud Computing, and IT by offering hands-on, practical learning experience.
As trailblazers in the remote-first workforce, we seamlessly blend work from cozy cafes, sunny beaches, mountain retreats, and vibrant cities or from our company-sponsored home office setups. For this role, we're looking for someone who can build an IT function from nothing and run it properly. We're 110+ people across 22 countries with no offices - which means everything a traditional IT team would own (identity, devices, access, tooling, security controls) is currently spread across different teams. Some of it is hands-on and immediate - someone's laptop has died in Moldova, a new joiner starts in Singapore on Monday. Some of it is systemic - choosing and deploying MDM, owning our SOC 2 technical controls, building a device lifecycle that works across borders. Note: This is a hands-on individual contributor role to start with, and it's our first IT hire. Google Workspace & Identity Own Workspace end to end - org structure, security settings, licences, groups, mail routing, and retention. Run quarterly access reviews on a least-privilege basis, control third-party app access, and put real governance around privileged access - an approval path for account and mailbox access, audit log monitoring, and a record of who used elevated access and why.
Device & Endpoint Management Select, deploy and run MDM across every company-owned device - encryption, screen lock, patching, endpoint protection, remote lock and wipe. Build a workable approach for personally-owned devices where full management isn't available to us.
Hardware Asset Lifecycle & Global Logistics Build and own a single asset register - every device, who holds it, what it costs, which entity owns it, when it's due for refresh. Set standard specs, run regional procurement (buy, lease, or device-as-a-service, whichever actually wins), and own returns, buyback, resale and secure disposal with proof of data destruction.
Maintain a central register of every business tool with its owner, cost, renewal date, data classification and DPA status. Reclaim licences at exit, kill duplicate tools, and surface shadow IT - including AI tools, and what data is going into them.
Coordinate penetration tests and track remediation. Security Awareness & Enablement Run security awareness and phishing training that people actually complete, and build an internal knowledge base so the same question doesn't get answered twice. Explain risk to non-technical teammates without hand-waving or lecturing.
IT Support & Day-1 Readiness Run a real support channel with published response times that works across our time zones. Make sure every new KodeKlouder has their accounts live and their laptop in hand before day one, and that leavers are fully offboarded the same day, with an evidence trail.
Automation, Vendors & IT Budget Automate the repetitive work - provisioning, deprovisioning, reporting. Manage IT vendors and renewals in partnership with Finance, with a clear view of what we're spending and why.
5-8 years in IT operations or IT and security, including a distributed or remote-first environment
- Deep Google Workspace administration - real depth, not familiarity with the admin console
- Hands-on MDM ownership across macOS and Windows
- Experienced in vendor negotiation and renewal management
Has carried SOC 2 (or ISO 27001) controls through an audit as an implementer, not a policy author
Multi-country asset lifecycle management
Experience administering JumpCloud and using Drata or equivalent compliance platforms
Fully Remote : Work from anywhere - yes, your couch in pajamas is totally fine.
