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

Run the infrastructure

• Run the network across HQ, the production site and smaller sites, including site-to-site connections

• 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

• Build lab and test-bench networks and provide engineering workstations

• Design OT/IT segmentation and logging together with our Cyber Security Engineer

• 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

• Own the disaster recovery plan and test it with the business

• 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

• 7+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience, including running infrastructure for a multi-site company with production

• Proven design and rollout of OT/IT segmentation in a live production environment

• Hands-on Azure landing zone experience: management groups, subscriptions, policy, RBAC and networking

• Proven ownership of an Entra ID tenant: Conditional Access, MFA rollout and Privileged Identity Management in a live environment

• Infrastructure as code with Terraform in a live environment

• Solid networking: routing, VLANs, site-to-site VPN, firewalls and enterprise Wi-Fi

• On-prem virtualisation with Hyper-V or VMware, and Linux administration

• Backup and disaster recovery you have designed and tested: immutable backups, restore tests, DR plan

• Experience managing external service providers against clear service levels

• A hands-on lead style: you design, build and document yourself, and explain it in plain words

• Fluent English; fluent in German is close to a must

• Based in Munich or willing to relocate

• Eligible to work in the German defense sector: you sign confidentiality and export-control obligations and pass a security check

Nice to have

• Certifications such as AZ-305, AZ-104, SC-300, CCNP, or Fortinet or Palo Alto firewall certifications

• Awareness of IEC 62443 for industrial security

• Experience with a factory ramp-up or a new production site

• VS-NfD handling or BSI IT-Grundschutz

• Kubernetes, and GPU compute for engineering or simulation workloads

• Zero-trust access tools such as Tailscale

• Fluent German and already based in Munich (a big plus)

• Experience in a regulated or security-sensitive industry
