About the role

The opportunity

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who likes owning platforms properly, not just keeping them ticking over.

You’ll take responsibility for core cloud and endpoint platforms across a New Zealand environment, with a focus on reliability, security, automation and continuous improvement. The work is broad: Microsoft 365, Intune, identity, conditional access, endpoint architecture, patching, monitoring, compliance evidence and complex incident resolution.

You’ll work closely with modern workplace and security specialists, helping shape a cloud-first environment that is secure, well-managed and easier to support over time.

About the role

You’ll be joining a globally connected organisation with a strong focus on quality, collaboration and continuous improvement. The technology environment is mature, security-aware and audit-conscious, with a team culture built around trust, clear ownership and practical problem solving.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Engineering and optimising Microsoft 365 services, including Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Teams
  • Managing Intune, Autopilot, compliance policies, configuration profiles and application deployment standards
  • Maintaining conditional access policies, identity lifecycle integration and tenant configuration hygiene
  • Building automation using PowerShell, Microsoft Graph and Intune scripting
  • Translating security requirements into enforceable M365 and endpoint controls
  • Supporting ISO 27001-aligned controls, audit evidence and compliance reporting
  • Leading complex incident and problem resolution across identity, endpoint and M365 platforms
  • Planning and implementing technical changes with clear risk, rollback and evidence capture
  • Mentoring modern workplace and service desk colleagues through documentation and knowledge sharing
You’ll likely bring:
  • Senior engineering experience in a cloud-first environment
  • Strong hands-on skills across Microsoft 365, Intune, Teams and identity/access fundamentals
  • Confidence with PowerShell scripting and automation
  • Experience with conditional access, patching, configuration, monitoring and incident resolution
  • Good documentation habits across tickets, changes and knowledge articles
  • Experience working in controlled, audit-driven or security-conscious environments
  • A practical communication style, especially when explaining technical issues to non-technical people
  • Exposure to Microsoft Copilot enablement, DLP, information governance, legal technology platforms, ITIL, or Microsoft certifications would be useful, but not essential.
 
If this sounds like the kind of ownership you’re ready for, apply now.
