****You can apply here, or more easily on our _website's Career page_.****

We’re looking for fintech enthusiasts to join us in creating the financial infrastructure of tomorrow. We’re building the first European Investment API to enable any financial institution to offer a broad range of investment products in their apps. Our view is backed by Europe's largest tech VCs (Earlybird, Notion Capital, Partech, HV Capital) and by renowned fintech entrepreneurs (including [Maximilian Tayenthal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAA5D6LAB1cJ1GBRZ8whwsc6ZI78kDf1Ulx0), founder of N26, and [Felix Haas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAAAH8AB8C9RXofd6q-Ux6PSMs23ahwpU8U), founder of IDnow).

Our vision is to create a world in which any asset can be owned and traded digitally by anyone, anywhere, and we're looking for ambitious pioneers to join us in this journey. Today, we count 30+ talented people from 15 different countries. We’re based in Berlin, Germany.

**Your mission:**

As our next TechOps Lead, you’ll help to build out an efficient & outstanding TechOps function at Upvest. We work with 100% cloud-based technologies, and this role would be responsible for building and managing our internal IT resources and processes, with a view of enabling large amounts of automation as we grow.

## Tasks

- You will take ownership of a majority of hands-on internal IT tasks and responsibilities
- Managing our core internal IT resources (i.e. Google Workspace and Slack), user account management and security controls (working closely with our Security team)
- Managing our Mac laptop fleet, zero-touch DEP/MDM device deployments, and ensuring company endpoints meet the company’s security standards
- Supporting teams with finding, implementing and/or integrating tools and solutions they need
- Developing solutions that automate and augment IT processes (e.g. onboarding and offboarding) and improve user experience
- Provide helpdesk support to the business
- Take part in incident management activities if a security event occurs

## Requirements

- The ability to think critically and come up with unique or innovative solutions to simplify workflows and improve security
- Experience in establishing and managing efficient technology services
- A strong understanding of macOS and Apple device management (MDM/DEP)
- Experience with automating processes using scripting languages or other workflow automation solutions (i.e. SaaSOps)
- Prior experience with Google Workspace is a plus
- Knowledge of our modern tech-stack (Golang, Python, Postgres, Docker, k8s) and/or Terraform is a plus
- Excellent communication skills
- Relocate to our amazing office in Berlin :)
- We’re an English-speaking team, so no German knowledge will be required

## Benefits

*   We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change.
*   We invest in you. From access to a personal coach, development budget and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role.
*   We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we also hire decent people who are passionate about their craft and helping up achieve our shared mission).
*   While we're not quite fully-remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer as we understand you don't have to be in the office to do your best work.
*   We live a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best people and get out of their way) and openness (there's a greater advantage in sharing information than keeping it to ourselves).
*   We ensure we take time to have fun as a team. We're looking forward to having more time in-person again once this becomes possible again.

**Our cultural values:**

- **Think Fearlessly, Act Fast:** We embrace the accelerated pace and ambiguity of building a business on the frontier. We take risks and look forwards.
- **Be Street Smart:** We are always tuned in to what is going on. With ourselves, our team, our users and the market.
- **Step Up, Stand Together:** Every individual is prepared to speak up for what they believe in and stand together as a team to deliver the result, even when the going gets tough.
- **Low Egos, High Expectations:** Although we take our work seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We have hunger and humility in equal measure.
