Who are we?

UpGuard’s mission is to make life easier for security teams. We meticulously create robust solutions that enable our customers to identify, assess, and remediate cybersecurity risk across their attack surface, vendor ecosystem, workforce, and trust relationships. Our integrated cyber risk posture management platform combines comprehensive security ratings, instant risk assessments, templated security questionnaires, threat intelligence capabilities, and agentic AI to give organizations a holistic view of their risk surface.

Our Operations function consists of the IT, Legal, People, Finance and Analytics teams. We are here to be a key enabler to our other teams at UpGuard. Efficiency, scale and rich insights are some of the key contributions that this team brings to the table. We look to the future and solve really interesting challenges that will unlock Upguard’s ability to grow sustainably and efficiently through optimized systems and processes.

Where does this role fit in?

We’re looking for a smart, curious, and resourceful human to join our IT and Security Operations team at UpGuard.

You’ll enjoy daily interactions with our globally distributed workforce—solving problems, improving systems, and helping to scale how we support and secure our environment. While our broader team spans enterprise technology operations, support, cybersecurity, and risk, this role focuses on core IT operations—with hands-on support, break/fix work, and meaningful contributions to enterprise and departmental IT enhancements.

Our IT and Security Operations team also plays an active role in DevOps and InfraOps initiatives—contributing to tooling, automation, and the foundations that enable engineering velocity and operational excellence.

You won’t just keep the lights on. You’ll help shape how we evolve.

UpGuard is in the midst of a company-wide transformation, powered by cutting-edge data analytics, automation, and AI. You’ll be right at the heart of it, helping to drive the systems and support that make it all possible.

  • General IT Support (40%)
  • Monitor and action items in the IT support queue, with a proactive approach
  • Prioritize tasks effectively and align timelines with stakeholders
  • Deliver empathetic, solutions-oriented support across systems, hardware, and software

  • Contribute to scripts, dashboards, and operational improvements
  • Feed insights from day-to-day work into long-term strategic initiatives
  • What will you bring?

  • Practical experience in modern system administration across cloud-based infrastructure (e.g. GCP) and SaaS environments
  • A strong understanding of identity and access management (e.g. Okta), including SSO/MFA, SCIM, and RBAC concepts and tooling
  • Familiarity with low-code/no-code automation platforms (e.g. Zapier, N8N) and a mindset for streamlining repetitive tasks
  • Experience managing and integrating enterprise SaaS applications, ideally in a high-growth or security-conscious environment
  • A working knowledge of scripting (e.g. Bash, PowerShell, Python) to automate tasks, support system health checks, or build internal tooling
  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or similar — or a willingness to learn and contribute to InfraOps practices
  • A thoughtful, empathetic approach to end-user support across globally distributed teams
  • Hands-on experience supporting and managing laptop fleets (macOS and ChromeOS)
