About this Endpoint and Workplace Engineer role at Raspberry Pi
At Raspberry Pi, we are proud to foster an environment where those who work with us can do what they love and do it well. By joining Raspberry Pi, you’ll be adding to a lean and passionate team dedicated to democratising technology and providing affordable access to computing tools to people across the globe.
Our engineers build computers used by millions of people, and they need their own tools to work well. As our Endpoint and Workplace Engineer, you will be responsible for the laptops, Google Workspace, SaaS tools, and meeting rooms they rely on every day, with the freedom to run them in an automated, self-service way. You will join our IT and Security team in Engineering Operations, reporting to the Engineering Operations Lead.
We are looking for someone with a can-do attitude who is self-starting and proactive, thinks independently, challenges the norm, and has an appetite to learn and adapt in a fast-paced technical environment.
This is a full-time role based in our Cambridge office. Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK.

• Run our IT support channel and knowledge base
• Keep a register of our applications and support the CISO with endpoint and SaaS security
