Infrastructure & Cloud Lead (m/f/d)

TYTAN Technologies

The PACE is fast. The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We push boundaries, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who are driven by ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in.

At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.

We are looking for a hands-on lead who owns our technical platform, from network and Azure to production IT, identity and access, backup and recovery. You take it over during 2027 and shape the network for our production facility, labs and controlled data, so engineering and production can rely on it.

Your roadmap to make an impact

Own firewalls, Wi-Fi, storage and on-prem compute on Hyper-V or VMware and Linux

Provide zero-trust access to internal systems for staff and partners

Set up monitoring and alerting so issues are found before users notice them

Own the Azure platform

Run our Azure landing zone, subscriptions and governance as code with Terraform

Provide the DevOps service for R&D: CI/CD, source control and artifacts

Provide build and simulation compute, including GPU, together with R&D

Manage cloud cost with clear reporting and regular optimisation

Connect lab and production

Design the target network for our production facility: enclosed production network, shop-floor connectivity

Run controlled data zones for export-controlled and VS-NfD classified data

Keep us recoverable

Run immutable backups and test restores on a fixed schedule

Document systems and runbooks so the team and partners can rely on them

Own identity and access

Own our Entra ID tenant: Conditional Access, MFA, Privileged Identity Management and hybrid identity

Design the joiner, mover, leaver process with the service desk and automate it with the AI & Automation Engineer

Apply Microsoft Purview basics: sensitivity labels and access reviews, reviewed with our Cyber Security Engineer

Lead the area

Take over infrastructure and Azure step by step during 2027

Manage external partners for the services that stay outsourced

Improve and lead the area as it grows with the company
