## About the role

Albedo builds and operates satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit. As IT & Security Engineer you own a wide surface alongside our IT and security lead: identity, endpoints, cloud infrastructure, network, detection and response, compliance obligations, and a long tail of SaaS. The team scales by turning process into code, and this role is measured by how much faster the rest of the company moves because of what you build.

## What they're looking for

- Six-plus years across IT operations, infrastructure, or security engineering, with at least two where you owned production systems and were accountable when they broke
- Regularly uses AI tools as essential leverage to accelerate work, improve clarity, and multiply output, and verifies before shipping
- Depth in agentic engineering: agents that take real action against production systems, with the access control, observability, and evaluation needed to trust them, deployed as shared services the whole company can use
- Infrastructure as code is your default
- You build tools for other people, and you care whether anyone actually adopted what you shipped
- Judgment about blast radius. You know which changes are reversible in five minutes, and which ones are silently wrong for a quarter, and you slow down for the second kind
