• Design for BYOD and distributed teams.
• Build a security posture that works for personal devices, contractor workflows, and cross-border data realities.
• Rationalise the stack.
• Kill shadow IT, consolidate overlapping SaaS, and deliver visible monthly savings on tools like Figma, Airtable and their cousins.
• Make access easy.
• Set up identity and access management so people can work across companies without chasing permissions.
• Build processes people actually use.
• Support security and governance.
• Put sensible baseline controls in place for a BYOD setup and compliance requirements.
• Lead, write, document.

Qualifications

• Every system you design touches ~200 people across 15+ countries from day one.
• Room to build the team beneath you as the company grows.
• Work from anywhere with 4h EST overlap.
