About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on IT professional to own our IT infrastructure, asset management, and end-to-end cybersecurity from the ground up. This is a builder role in a lean, founder-led team, and given the nature of our work, a strong security-first mindset is essential.

• Monitor for threats/vulnerabilities; lead incident response and maintain an incident runbook

• Conduct periodic security audits and risk assessments

• Drive employee security awareness training (phishing, password hygiene, device security)

• Own backup schedules, data retention/secure deletion policies, and periodic restore testing

• Maintain and test the disaster recovery / business continuity plan

• Manage documentation: SOPs, system configurations, security policies

Employee Lifecycle

• Own IT onboarding/offboarding (device setup, account creation, access revocation) and conduct IT inductions for new hires

Compliance & Governance

• Ensure IT practices align with applicable regulatory/contractual

• Support internal/external audits, and client/investor due diligence on IT security posture.

• Support future certification efforts (e.g., ISO 27001) as we scale

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in IT, Computer Science, or related field

• 2-3 years in IT administration/infrastructure with relevant cybersecurity exposure

• Working knowledge of network security, endpoint protection, firewalls, access/identity management, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).

• Strong ownership mindset, discretion, and integrity, comfortable building processes from scratch in a fast-moving startup.
