TechOps at Kraken is a modern, lean evolution of traditional enterprise IT. We span everything from hands-on frontline support through to high-impact technical projects and long-term strategic improvements.
We are building a small, highly effective TechOps team and are looking for an ambitious, experienced TechOps Generalist to help us scale Kraken safely, securely, and with a strong focus on people.
This is a broad role with a huge amount of variety. You’ll work across identity, devices, SaaS, networking, automation, and office infrastructure - often at the same time. Ambiguity is a constant, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys making sense of it and turning it into action.
We operate almost entirely in the cloud, so you’ll be exposed to a wide range of modern tools and technologies across the business.
Where you'll fit in
As a TechOps Generalist, you’ll be a core contributor to the day-to-day delivery of TechOps services, working closely with the TechOps Lead and the wider global TechOps team.
This is a role with real ownership. You’ll be trusted to take responsibility for problems and projects end-to-end, contribute to technical decision-making, and help shape how TechOps operates as we grow.
We strongly believe that great TechOps starts with empathy. You’ll spend a significant portion of your time supporting Kraken employees directly, seeing first-hand the problems they face and helping ensure technology enables rather than blocks great work.
We prioritise friendly, human support over SLAs or ticket numbers. Our aim is to deliver such a good experience that technology fades into the background, and when support is needed, it’s easy, human, and effective.

Enjoyment of scripting, APIs, and automating repetitive or error-prone tasks
