IT Systems Administrator

pPAVE Space is building LYOBA, a heavy kick stage moving over 4-tonne payloads from LEO to high-energy orbits in under 24 hours. Everyone here depends on IT that just works. Today one person carries all of it. That's what you'll take on. /ppWe're 50 today and we'll be 80 by the end of the year. IT has been carried end to end by one person: the day-to-day support, the infrastructure under it, and keeping it secure and reliable. That doesn't scale. You're joining at the start of that change, not maintaining the end of it. We need someone to own operations and support, and to build and deploy what's missing rather than wait for someone else to get to it. /ph3You will own /h3pOnboarding and offboarding, start to finish: accounts, devices, access, and equipment. People productive on day one, fully offboarded the day they leave /ppDay-to-day support across both sites: fast, patient help that unblocks people and leaves them a little more self-sufficient each time /ppAccess management: the right people with the right access, and nothing lingering when someone changes role or leaves /ppMonitoring and alerting, so issues surface early instead of landing as a user complaint /ppPatching and updates on a real cadence: endpoints, servers, and the services underneath them /ppOur containerised services: keeping them reproducible, scanned, and backed up, not just running /ppBackups you can actually restore from: watching the jobs, and proving the restores work /ppImproving the internal tools the team relies on, not just keeping them running /ph3What we are looking for /h3pHands-on experience administering Entra ID, Intune, and Microsoft 365. This is the core of the role, so you should know it well, not plan to learn it here /ppComfortable on Linux and with containerised services (Docker). You can run and harden them, not just click through a GUI /ppExperience with centralised logging and monitoring (Wazuh, Graylog, Sentinel, or similar), or the drive to set it up well /ppYou keep things current: updates and patches on a real cadence, without it turning into a fire drill /ppNetworking fundamentals you can troubleshoot without hand-holding /ppYou script to avoid doing the same thing twice /ppA bias to action. You spot what's missing and go build or deploy it, comfortable making the call without waiting for permission /ppYou treat access and offboarding with the care they deserve. In a growing team, that discipline matters /ppClear communication. You can calm a stressed engineer and explain the fix /ppNice to have: SIEM tuning and log correlation; container image scanning and infrastructure-as-code; hybrid Active Directory and identity sync; source control and CI; exposure to industrial or OT environments; experience in a regulated or export-controlled setting, French language skills /ph3You will fit if /h3pYou care about the person on the other end of the request. It isn't fixed until they're unblocked and less likely to hit the same wall again. /ppYou explain things without ever making someone feel slow for asking, and you leave people more capable than you found them. /ppYou see IT as a service the whole company leans on. You want people to trust it, not dread it. /ppYou spot what's missing and go build or deploy it, instead of waiting for the task to be handed to you. /ppYou take the quiet work seriously: access, offboarding, and the good habits that keep a growing team running smoothly. /ppThe job is fully on-site across Villeneuve (VD) and our test site in Chavalon, twenty minutes away. IT here is being built as the company scales. You'll shape how it runs, not inherit a finished playbook. This is hands-on and early. If you want a mature IT org with a queue someone else fills, this is the wrong seat. If you want to build and run IT for the most ambitious space programme in Switzerland, while it doubles around you, it's the right one. /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
