Senior IT Platform Engineer

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.
