Our mission is to become a one-stop cyber solutions partner — architecting and delivering secure infrastructure, cybersecurity platforms, and advanced technology solutions while prioritizing open-source, sovereignty, and operational resilience.

Internally, we maintain a sophisticated infrastructure stack combining on-premise virtualization, secure networking, GPU compute, and developer platforms, enabling both product development and cybersecurity operations.

We are looking for a hands-on Infrastructure & Platform Lead who can take ownership of our internal IT and infrastructure, bring operational maturity, and build systems that scale with the company.

The Infrastructure & Platform Lead will be responsible for designing, operating, and continuously improving SecNinjaz's internal infrastructure and IT environment.

This role requires a hands-on technical leader capable of managing virtualization, secure networking, identity systems, developer platforms, and security infrastructure while leading a small team of IT engineers. The candidate will also mentor junior infrastructure engineers and help establish professional operational standards.

You will ensure that our internal systems are secure, resilient, well-documented, professionally operated and compliant, forming the backbone of our cybersecurity and product engineering teams.

Candidates should demonstrate strong understanding of secure infrastructure design and operational security practices.

### Compliance & Governance

• Support and maintain organizational compliance requirements related to IT and cybersecurity
• Ensure infrastructure and systems align with defined security and compliance standards
• Assist in audits by providing required technical evidence and documentation
• Maintain proper access controls, logging, and system configurations as per compliance needs
• Continuously improve infrastructure practices to align with evolving compliance requirements

## Required Skills

Candidates should have experience with

• Linux system administration
• virtualization platforms (Proxmox / VMware / KVM)

## Preferred Experience

Exposure to any of the following is beneficial

• developer platforms (GitLab Premium/Ultimate)
• identity and access management systems

## Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate

• is hands-on with infrastructure technologies
• has experience managing production environments
• values documentation and structured operations
• is comfortable working in a fast-growing technical organization

Experience working with compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, ISO 9001, STQC, SOC2, etc.) is a plus.

## Important Note

• This role focuses on infrastructure engineering and platform operations, and is not a helpdesk or desktop support role.
