About the company
TRYST is a research-to-translation institution on the IIT Bombay campus, working across semiconductors, AI, health and bio, energy and clean technology, and related verticals. It is building the digital and IT environment for a multi-Centre organisation that is expected to scale toward 1,000+ people, while remaining on campus and partnering with IIT Bombay shared services.
This is a founding IT role: the opportunity to design and run the function, not to inherit one.

JOB PURPOSE
Own TRYST’s IT infrastructure and day-to-day IT operations — identity and endpoint operations on Microsoft 365 / Entra ID, TRYST cloud and overlay connectivity, devices, backups, and first-line service.
Build the function from a standing start: standards, vendors, assets and the first hires. Do the work yourself until there is a team. Coordinate campus network, licensed software and journal access with the IIT Bombay Computing Centre rather than recreating those services. Grow the role into Head of Infrastructure as TRYST scales.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Note :



It's an Individual Contributor role initially and based on Org. requirements , the team can be aligned later.
Infrastructure, cloud and campus overlay
• Design, implement and operate TRYST-owned infrastructure: Microsoft 365 / Entra ID, the endpoint estate, file and backup services, TRYST cloud (Azure as the starting tenancy), and overlay connectivity on the campus network.
• Partner with the IIT Bombay Computing Centre on campus LAN/Wi-Fi, research computing, and software / journal catalogues. Own the TRYST overlay, the join path for a current employee, and the escalation path to Computing Centre.
• Set infrastructure standards and runbooks that will still hold as TRYST grows across Centres and toward 1,000+ people, on a common identity and device baseline.
• Plan capacity, backup and disaster recovery for TRYST-owned systems. Campus backbone DR remains with Computing Centre.
