Your mission
C1 Green Chemicals AG develops and scales new chemical processes from the lab to pilot scale. Our value lies in research data, patents, and exclusive catalysis IP. A robust, sovereign IT setup is therefore mission‑critical.
Our research depends on stable and secure IT operations. In this role, you are responsible for day‑to‑day IToperations at C1 Green Chemicals AG – infrastructure, security, and devices.
What you’ll do
- Own & operate our IT infrastructure: self‑hosted servers, storage, networking, backups, and availability
- Ensure data sovereignty for sensitive research and IP data
- Microsoft 365 & Azure administration: tenant, Entra ID, applications, and operations
- Device management (Intune or equivalent) for laptops & smartphones (BYOD), clean onboarding/offboarding
- Set up and operate VPNs and secure remote access
- Linux server operations, including SLURM cluster for DFT compute (WEASEL/ORCA) and tested disaster recovery
- Continuous IT security monitoring, system hardening, access control, and audit‑grade traceability
- Prepare software and infrastructure cost comparisons for management decisions
- Act as the central IT point of contact across the company
- manage AI access (tokens, budgets) and serve as an internal AI point of contact
Your profile
Must‑haves
- Senior‑level experience in IT operations, IT security, and system hardening
- Strong Linux server administration, self‑hosted services, and Docker
- Hands‑on experience with Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Intune
- Solid networking and VPN expertise
- Understanding of GDPR and protection of pre‑patent IP
- Self‑directed, pragmatic mindset with clear ownership
- Fluent German and English
Nice‑to‑haves
- HPC/SLURM, GPU or compute servers
- Experience with LLM APIs and basic cost control
- Supporting research or lab environments
- Internal AI point of contact: helping colleagues with everyday AI questions and distinguishing safe vs. critical use cases
Why us?
- Permanent part‑time role with long‑term perspective
- Flexible working hours and hybrid work options where appropriate
- High autonomy in hands‑on IT operations
- Direct access to leadership and research teams
- Purpose‑driven work in green chemistry and industrial scale‑up
- Clear technical ownership instead of ticket overload
About us
Re-inventing chemistry
We develop disruptive chemical production processes by rethinking them from the atomic level all the way up to production scale.
We explore new chemistries by employing quantum-chemical simulations and transfer them into proprietary production technology.
Designing green processes
We develop & scale our new technologies based on renewable feedstocks & energy. From the very first steps in the development of a production process, we design it to enable closed carbon loops. Without compromise.
Defossilizing industries
With our climate-friendly chemical technologies we support industries in their net zero journey. Our first disruption is the proprietary C1 methanol technology. It unlocks green methanol production by overcoming long-standing challenges.
