About Cyngn, Inc. Based in Mountain View, CA, Cyngn is a publicly-traded autonomous technology company. We deploy self-driving industrial vehicles - specifically autonomous tuggers - to factories, warehouses, and other facilities throughout North America. Backed by a16z.
About the role
You build IT infrastructure rather than just keep it running. This is a hands-on, fully onsite role in Mountain View, and you will be the second member of a two-person IT function supporting engineering, operations, and business teams. That structure is the pitch and the catch. You own real systems from day one — identity, device fleet, network, and the automation that holds them together. You will also still unjam a printer, because two people means everyone is hands-on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Virtualization or containerization in production: Docker or Proxmox
- Infrastructure-as-code or configuration management (Terraform, Ansible, Jamf scripting)
- Experience supporting a compliance or audit program, particularly ISO 27001 or SOC 2 control evidence
- Experience in a hardware, robotics, manufacturing, or lab environment
- Cloud infrastructure exposure (AWS, GCP)
- Certifications such as CompTIA Network+ or Security+, or a vendor equivalent

What separates this from a help desk job is the mandate: your job is to reduce support volume, not absorb it. We want someone who sees the same ticket three times and writes the script, policy, or doc that stops the fourth.
Cyngn builds autonomous driving technology for industrial vehicles, so you will support a mixed environment of corporate laptops, Linux engineering workstations, lab hardware, and test infrastructure. If you have only ever supported a pure SaaS office, this will stretch you in a good way.
What you'll do
- Administer and improve identity and access as a system: design and maintain groups, roles, policies, and MFA enforcement in JumpCloud and Google Workspace, and keep SaaS access...
