IT, Cloud & Security Administrator

We're building the next generation interface for commanding autonomous systems in the real world. Our core product, Anura, translates spoken or typed intent into structured actions across drones, sensors, and mission software—enabling faster, more intuitive control in high-stakes environments. We’re a distributed team of engineers, operators, and technologists focused on deploying reliable autonomy at the tactical edge.

Primordial Labs is hiring its first dedicated IT, Cloud & Security Administrator to run the technology that keeps a small but mighty, fully remote team productive and secure. You will be the hands-on owner of IT day to day, and the person who makes sure our systems protect the sensitive work we do for our customers.

You'll own two environments. The first is our corporate IT environment, built on Microsoft 365, which everyone at the company uses and which you'll own end to end. The second is our AWS cloud environment, where our engineering and DevSecOps team does their development work. You'll work alongside that team to keep it secure, well-structured, and well-documented while keeping pace with what they need. This is a single-contributor role reporting directly to leadership, with a path to IT and Security Lead as the company scales.
