Senior Infrastructure Leader

Mission

Build and operate the company's corporate IT, cloud, identity and technology infrastructure from the ground up, creating a secure and scalable foundation for a rapidly growing AI company. ## Your Impact

Corporate IT & Employee Technology

- Design and establish the company's corporate IT environment, including email, collaboration tools, endpoint management and employee technology provisioning.
- Build automated employee onboarding and offboarding processes that scale with headcount growth.
- Establish laptop provisioning, endpoint security, patching and device-management standards across the company.

Identity, Access & AI Platforms

- Own company-wide identity and access management, including SSO, MFA, RBAC and privileged access administration.
- Establish and administer enterprise AI platforms including Claude, OpenAI/ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and other approved AI tools, ensuring secure and governed rollout across the org.

Cloud & Infrastructure

- Build and maintain AWS/Azure/GCP cloud organizations, accounts, networking, IAM and foundational infrastructure.
- Establish infrastructure-as-code standards using Terraform/OpenTofu or equivalent, so infrastructure is versioned, reviewable and repeatable rather than click-ops.
- Own GitHub organization administration and foundational developer tooling in partnership with engineering.
- Implement secure management of credentials, API keys, certificates and secrets.
- Establish centralized logging, monitoring, alerting and infrastructure observability.
- Implement backup, disaster-recovery and business-continuity capabilities.

Governance, Spend & Security

- Establish SaaS procurement, license management and technology inventory processes.
- Manage cloud and SaaS spend, budgets and FinOps controls as the company scales.
- Establish baseline security controls and support SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness as compliance requirements emerge.
- Develop policies,



standards and documentation so infrastructure doesn't depend on tribal knowledge.

Team Building

- Build the infrastructure/IT team as company requirements grow, hiring and mentoring engineers once scale justifies it not before.

What We'd Look For

We'd favor a builder/operator over someone who spent the last ten years administering a mature Fortune 500 environment. This role is for someone who is energized by greenfield problems, comfortable with ambiguity, and willing to be hands-on with the keyboard well past the point most leaders at this level stop being.

You're Our Senior Infrastructure Leader If

- You have 1012+ years of experience across infrastructure, IT and cloud operations, with hands-on depth in several of: AWS/Azure/GCP, Google Workspace/M365, Okta/Entra, VDI, GitHub, Terraform, endpoint management, SSO/OIDC/SAML, networking/DNS, secrets management, CI/CD, observability and security controls.
- You have demonstrated experience building technology infrastructure in an early-stage or rapidly scaling organization not just operating infrastructure someone else designed.
- You think in terms of secure, scalable foundations, and you document and codify as you go so nothing depends on tribal knowledge.
- You're comfortable owning a wide surface area IT, identity, cloud, security posture and vendor/spend management before there's a team to delegate to.
- You have a bias for action and are willing to make pragmatic tradeoffs to unblock a rapid-moving company, while still building toward compliance-ready standards (SOC 2 / ISO 27001) as the company matures.
- You can operate independently with minimal existing process, and you're motivated by building the process rather than waiting for someone else to define it.

## Nice-to-Haves

- Experience standing up governance and access controls for enterprise AI platforms (Claude, ChatGPT/OpenAI, Gemini, Copilot).
- Prior experience taking a company through SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 readiness.
- Experience building out an infrastructure/IT function and hiring its first engineers.
- FinOps experience managing multi-cloud and SaaS spend at a growing company.
