About the role
Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for an IT Systems Administrator, who is also a genuine Atlassian specialist. You will be the go-to expert for Jira and the wider Atlassian suite, owning its configuration, governance and continuous improvement. You will also be a hands-on member of the IT team, picking up day-to-day support and a mix of general IT projects as needed.
Roughly 50-60% of your time will be spent on Atlassian administration and optimisation, with the remainder on general IT support and operations.

- Build and maintain automation rules, dashboards, filters and reports to support teams across the business

- Manage marketplace apps and integrations (e.g. Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub/GitLab, Okta/Entra ID), including vendor and renewal coordination
- Plan and execute upgrades, migrations (Cloud/Data Center) and consolidation work, with appropriate testing and change communication
- Create documentation, training materials and guidance for end users, and run onboarding or "office hours" sessions
- Monitor performance, audit logs and security settings, and keep the platform compliant with company policy
GENERAL IT SUPPORT AND OPERATIONS
- Provide first and second-line support for hardware, software, accounts and access issues
- Onboard and offboard staff: set up accounts, devices and licences

- Support endpoint management (Windows, macOS, mobile) including imaging, patching and asset tracking
- Assist with network, printer, meeting room and AV support where required
- Contribute to IT projects, vendor management, procurement and documentation
- Follow and help improve IT security practices (MFA, access reviews, device compliance)

ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
- Proven experience (typically [3+] years) administering Jira in a production environment, with a track record of designing and managing workflows, schemes and automation
- Strong working knowledge of Confluence and wider Atlassian tooling

- Experience in a general IT, helpdesk or systems administration role
- Working knowledge of identity and access management (e.g. Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace) and SSO concepts
