Job Description

Ready to embark on the quest of joining Hack The Box?

Welcome! Super excited you dropped by 🥳

At the end of this journey, you'll become a proud member of Hack The Box, with the ultimate mission to raise cyber resilience, so that every organization can stay ahead of tomorrow’s threats.🚀🔒💻

✨The core mission of the Senior IT Platform engineer:

As an Internal Platform Engineer, you will own and evolve the internal tooling and enterprise platforms that keep a 300+ person, globally distributed company running securely and productively. This is not a helpdesk role — you'll be the engineering backbone behind identity & access management, corporate email and collaboration, device management, SaaS orchestration and our centralised AI/LLM gateway. You'll ensure that every team at HTB has the right tools, properly integrated, secured and automated.

Engineer, integrate and operate HTB's internal platform stack — from identity (Okta) and email (Google Workspace) through endpoint management (Jamf/Intune) and security tooling (SIEM, EDR) to our centralised LLM gateway — so that the company scales securely without friction.

🏢 Location & Work Mode:

• Europe/Greece

• Choose between fully remote work across Europe or relocating to our Athens Tech Hub with relocation support.

Fully Remote / Hybrid (2 days in the office, 3 days remote, plus one month of work from anywhere) - If only in Greece: When hiring in Greece, we’re open to candidates from all locations. Those based within 55 km of our Athens office will follow a hybrid work model. For candidates located beyond that radius, a fully remote arrangement is available.

✈️ Relocation

• We offer a 10% relocation bonus on the annual salary to support your move.
• In addition, you would benefit from a 50% tax reduction on your income as part of the relocation.
• We'll support you with accommodation during the first few weeks

Endpoint & Device Management: Jamf Pro (macOS/iOS), Microsoft Intune (Windows), Kolide / osquery

Security & Compliance: CrowdStrike Falcon (EDR), Elastic SIEM / Splunk, Vanta or Drata (compliance automation), HashiCorp Vault (secrets management)

Collaboration & Productivity: Slack, Atlassian (Jira, Confluence), Notion, GitHub (org-level administration)

Automation & Integration: Okta Workflows, Tines / Workato (SOAR / workflow automation), Terraform, Python scripting

Observability: Datadog or Grafana Cloud (SaaS monitoring), PagerDuty (on-call & incident management)

• Own Google Workspace administration: domain management, email routing and security policies (DKIM/DMARC/SPF), shared drives governance, DLP rules and Google Vault for eDiscovery/retention

• Integrate and maintain EDR (CrowdStrike Falcon or equivalent) and SIEM (Elastic/Splunk) for corporate endpoint and SaaS log visibility
• Operate and improve compliance automation tooling (Vanta/Drata) to maintain continuous SOC 2, ISO 27001 and similar audit readiness
• Manage secrets and credential distribution using HashiCorp Vault (or similar), ensuring zero-trust access patterns for service accounts and CI/CD pipelines
• Administer SaaS platforms at the org level: Slack (Enterprise Grid), Atlassian suite, Notion, GitHub (org/team/repo policies, SAML, audit logs)
• Build workflow automations (Tines, Workato or Okta Workflows) for repetitive IT and security operations: access requests, alert triage, onboarding checklists
• Maintain documentation, runbooks and internal knowledge-base articles so that common procedures are self-service where possible
• Participate in on-call rotation for identity, email and critical SaaS platform incidents

🏆 Skills, knowledge, and experience points required to unlock the role of Senior IT Platform Engineer at Hack The Box:

• 3–7 years of professional experience in IT engineering, internal platform engineering or infrastructure with a strong focus on enterprise SaaS and identity systems
• Deep hands-on experience with Okta (or a comparable enterprise IdP: Azure AD/Entra ID, OneLogin) including SSO, SCIM provisioning and MFA policy management
