About the Role

This is Nscale's first dedicated Google Workspace Platform Engineer role. You'll own Google Workspace as a secure, reliable, and well-governed productivity platform — responsible for its configuration, governance, security posture, integrations, and ongoing improvement across identity, security, support, and the wider technology estate.

You'll also evaluate, configure, and support Workspace AI capabilities such as Gemini, introducing them safely and in line with Nscale's broader collaboration strategy.

Define and maintain standards for configuration, sharing, lifecycle management, admin access, licensing, and Workspace architecture

Configure and maintain security controls including admin access, sharing policies, email security, audit logging, and data-protection settings

Support phishing protection, DLP, retention, and incident-response requirements in partnership with Information Security

Help maintain audit evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and SOX

Identity, Integrations & Support

Ensure Workspace integrates effectively with SSO, MFA, SCIM, and joiner/mover/leaver processes

Support integrations between Workspace and security, compliance, collaboration, and service-delivery tools

Provide escalation support to Technology Operations and create clear runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and knowledge articles

Automation & Continuous Improvement

Automate repetitive administration, reporting, and lifecycle tasks using Google APIs, Apps Script, PowerShell, Python, or similar

Build dashboards and reports for visibility into Workspace health, adoption, security, and compliance

Test and roll out new Workspace capabilities — including Gemini — safely and with the right governance in place
