Jr IT Sys Admin

Purpose of Role

We're looking for a motivated Junior IT Systems Administrator to join our IT team and support day-to-day IT operations. This role covers Atlassian platform administration (Jira and Confluence) alongside hands-on daily IT operations, including help desk support, user and identity management, endpoint administration, and oversight of the core tools our teams depend on every day.

You'll work across a focused, modern tech stack and partner with teams across operations, support, product, engineering, and compliance to configure tools, resolve issues, and ensure systems and tools remain operational across the organization. This is a strong fit for someone early in their IT career who wants broad technical ownership inside a fast-growing fintech company.

• Handle onboarding and offboarding across all platforms, including provisioning and de-provisioning accounts, managing access, and enforcing data retention policies.
• Manage Cloudflare DNS, zone configurations, firewall and WAF rules, and Zero Trust / Cloudflare Access settings for company-owned domains and internal applications.
• Administer 1Password — manage users, groups, vault permissions, and credential access; enforce password security policies and conduct periodic access audits to maintain credential hygiene.
