About the role
- Our US operations are scaling fast and we expect to be several hundred by the end of 2027, with a new US office and a US manufacturing plant on the way.
- For export control and national security reasons, our US information systems are operated and administered exclusively by US persons, with no administrative access from our French headquarters.
- You will be the IT owner for the entire US perimeter: at first hands-on and supported by contractors, then as the leader of a small team you will have recruited yourself, before the end of 2027.
Responsibilities
- Own all IT subjects in the US affiliate: infrastructure, services, support, vendors, and budget
- Operate and support day-to-day IT for US employees: workstation and mobile fleet, cloud applications (Google Workspace, Atlassian, business tools), identity and access management
- Build simple, effective IT processes: onboarding/offboarding, user support, asset management - and automate everything that can be automated
- Design and deploy the network and IT foundations for our new US physical sites, including the manufacturing plant
- Manage IT contractors and service providers: scoping, follow-up, and quality control
- Recruit and lead a small US IT team before the end of 2027
- Technical Breadth: IT processes (user support, automation), IT fleet management (laptops, mobile, MDM), cloud application administration (Google Workspace, Atlassian), local networking fundamentals, and practical cybersecurity.
Requirements
- No specific degree required: self-taught profiles with a strong track record are welcome.
- Eligibility: must be a U.S. person (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) as defined under ITAR, due to access to export-controlled technical data.
- We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
Nice to have
- 8+ years in IT, as a system and network administrator in a startup or high-growth environment
