Senior Google Workspace Platform Engineer
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.

Identity, Integrations & Support

- 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
