IT & Security Engineer (Tech Ops)

Who we are

Comand AI is building a global technology leader focused on defense & security. The company was co-founded in 2023 by Loïc Mougeolle, Marie Inuzuka and Quentin Le Pape, drawing from their unique experience at defense industry leaders and world-class tech companies.

The world of defense & security are being entirely renewed by AI and robotisation: new classes of threats, new levels of autonomy and speed demands radically new solutions to protect our societies. Comand AI is at the forefront of the rebuilding of these verticals to serve our countries resilience.

Comand AI core product is a next generation command and control software platform, which allows militaries to operate at machine speed in a communication and GNSS denied context. A few facts to anchor you:

• €45M raised from seed to Series A, Blossom Capital leading the series A and Saab as a strategic investor

• Software platform combat proven and deployed in Ukraine

• A lean team of operators with backgrounds from Palantir, OpenAI and world-class tech experience, alongside unique expertise from the defense sector

• Live business with governments and defense industry leaders across Europe

• Paris (HQ), London, Munich and Kyiv subsidiaries

The Role

You’d join our Internal Development team as our IT & Security Engineer. You’d own security operations and our Mac fleet, plus identity, access and day-to-day support for everyone at Comand.

The role is hands-on.

What this looks like in practice:

• Bring our setup up to the security baseline we committed to with our partners

• Run our Mac fleet end to end with Jamf: enrolment, configuration profiles, patching, encryption and compliance reporting

• Own Google Workspace, and all our tools and identity: SSO, SCIM provisioning, joiners, movers and leavers, and access reviews

• Secure the office network and keep security hygiene at the level a defense company needs

• Set up every new hire so they can work from day one, and support the team when something breaks

• Look after office hardware and meeting rooms so onsite meetings and interviews run without problems

Who We're Looking For

Must-have:

• You’ve run IT and security hands-on at a tech company or scale-up, beyond a helpdesk role

• Deep Jamf experience managing a Mac fleet

• Solid Google Workspace administration, including SSO and SCIM provisioning

• You can take a security requirement and turn it into a working, enforced setup

• High agency: nobody will hand you a ticket queue. You decide what matters most, fix it, and tell us what you changed

• Fluent French and English

• EU citizenship

• Office-based full time in Paris

Nice to have:

• Experience in defense, government or another regulated sector

• Experience preparing for a security audit or meeting a client’s security requirements (ISO 27001 or similar)

• Experience supporting teams spread across several countries

What's In It For You

• You’d build IT and security at a defense-tech company from the ground up

• A competitive package with base salary and equity
