Senior IT & Security Operations Engineer

FloatMe, San Antonio, TX

The role

Are you a strong Systems Administrator or IT Operations Specialist looking to take a major step forward in your cybersecurity career? Do you enjoy getting “hands on” and “in the weeds” on Cloud Security, Desktop Security, and Network Security needs?

We are seeking a hands-on (not a paper pusher) Senior IT & Security Operations Engineer who will be reporting directly to our CISO and operating as our front-line “hands on keyboard” for our cloud, infrastructure, hardware, and network security.

This is a true hybrid role (70% Security Engineering / 30% Corporate IT). We need a team player who is excited to manage AWS security and tune SIEM alerts, but is equally willing to roll up their sleeves to set up a new hire's laptop, troubleshoot a conference room, or configure an office printer. If you are looking for a role where you can rapidly expand your cloud and cybersecurity skill set under executive mentorship—without losing your hands-on IT roots—this is the perfect fit.

The role

What you need

Who You Are

A driver and an "owner," not a passenger — You take ownership of your area, propose the fix or the plan, and drive it through, doing the work yourself when that's what it takes. You'll have support, but you're comfortable getting into the details alongside the rest of us.
Hands-on and self-driven — You're as comfortable configuring an MDM policy or troubleshooting a network issue as you are documenting a process for the team. You don't wait to be asked before fixing what's broken.
A clear communicator – You can explain a technical issue or a security control in plain language to teammates who aren't in IT.
A builder, not just a caretaker – You're energized by improving the systems and processes you inherit, not just keeping the lights on.
A collaborative teammate – You work closely with engineering, ops, and every other team without becoming the bottleneck.
Genuinely interested in fintech – You're curious about the security and compliance considerations that come with handling people's money.

Who You Are Not

An auditor or “paper pusher” – We need you to not only help us decide what security posture we need, but you will need to help implement that posture yourself. We’re a smaller but very effective team and really need this player to be very hands-on.
A recreational player: — We are looking for someone hungry, competitive, and an impact player who can truly “cover” this area of our company, making us all sleep easier at night knowing that you have our security and infrastructure posture well-covered.

Qualifications & Requirements

Experience: 4+ years of experience in IT Systems Administration, Network Operations, or IT Support with a strong, demonstrated interest in cybersecurity. (Transitioning military and veterans with IT/Cyber occupational specialties are highly encouraged to apply).

Office Networking and Equipment: Solid understanding of network engineering, hardware configuration, and VPN management. (Extra Credit for experience with securing Remote Worker Devices). Conference Rooms, BYOD hardware, and more will be part of your area of ownership.
Cloud & Web Networking and Security: Foundational experience or strong familiarity with managing cloud security configurations on any cloud platform.
SIEM/Detection: Exposure to or experience with SIEM and threat detection platforms.
The "No Task is Too Small" Mentality: You must be perfectly comfortable pivoting from tuning cloud security rules to setting up a physical desk or fixing a printer.
