You will lead the deployment of our Generative AI infrastructure, moving beyond "support tickets" toward self-service automation and agentic resolution

Help architect and automate the access management stack (Okta/Google Workspace/SSO)

Support high-performance computing (HPC) and specialized networking environments specifically tailored for deep-tier penetration testing and adversarial simulations
You are accountable for the "last mile" of execution
You will write code, configure VPCs, and debug CI/CD pipelines alongside a small, elite team
