ReOrbit is looking for an IT Lead – Infrastructure, Operations & Support to build and scale the infrastructure, operating model and service foundations that enable the company to grow.

As our IT Lead – Infrastructure, Operations & Support, you will take ownership of how ReOrbit’s core IT infrastructure and operations are designed, managed and scaled. You will combine hands-on technical leadership with strong operational governance, building resilient and repeatable systems across infrastructure, cloud, end-user computing and support.

You will lead the Infrastructure, Operations & Support pillar of ReOrbit’s multi-year IT strategy, working closely with the Head of IT & Business Systems, Security, Engineering, Manufacturing and external partners. While end-user support will be owned and governed by this role, much of the day-to-day service delivery will be handled through the internal team and an outsourced 24/7 support partner.

It's an exciting chance to join a dynamic start-up, with the opportunity to make a real impact, to reach our goal of pushing the boundaries of space data transfer. 

Responsibilities

• Own end-user support and the enterprise 24/7 service model, ensuring the Jira Service Desk operates against defined SLAs and KPIs.

• Design, document and maintain ReOrbit’s IT infrastructure architecture across networks, servers, storage, cloud and end-user computing.

• Develop reference architectures, technical standards and infrastructure designs that can be replicated and expanded as ReOrbit grows.

• Lead the restructuring and scaling of infrastructure to support multi-satellite production, clean-room and OT environments, new facilities and future robotic manufacturing deployments.

• Build scalable and modular infrastructure designs, including network segmentation, VLAN architecture, governed USB access and infrastructure capable of supporting high-reliability production environments.

• Build and administer core infrastructure across LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, VPN and network security, as well as servers and Microsoft cloud technologies including Active Directory, Entra ID, Azure, SQL and Microsoft Dynamics 365.

• Manage infrastructure capacity, performance, availability and monitoring, identifying risks and bottlenecks before they impact the business.

• Plan and deliver infrastructure projects end-to-end, from scope and design through migration, testing, cutover and documentation.

• Balance speed of delivery with reliability, scalability and controlled technical debt.

• Own the IT infrastructure supporting ReOrbit’s OT and clean-room environments, including network architecture, connectivity, access control and security.

• Drive automation and continuous improvement across IT operations, including endpoint deployment, onboarding and offboarding, provisioning and monitoring.

• Improve operational workflows by applying Eliminate–Simplify–Standardise–Automate principles.

• Work across systems including Jira, HiBob and Active Directory to automate and streamline employee lifecycle processes.

• Embed security, compliance and resilience into IT operations, including endpoint and cloud controls, access governance, business continuity and disaster recovery.

• Support ISO 27001 readiness and work closely with Security to ensure infrastructure and operational processes meet the required standards.

Skills and Requirements
