IT Systems Administrator
Role Overview
THIS IS AN ONSITE POSITION BASED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
NO REMOTE OR HYBRID AVAILABILITY FOR THIS POSITION
VVater is looking for a highly skilled, AI-forward technology leader to own and run IT across the company.
This is not a traditional sysadmin seat.
You will own the full IT backbone (infrastructure, cloud, security, and support), and you will lead VVater's adoption of AI, automation, and internally built tools across every function.
You are equally comfortable hardening a network, administering a full Microsoft cloud environment, writing code, and vibe-coding an internal application that saves the company hundreds of hours.
You are the person who keeps everything running flawlessly and makes everyone around you faster.
You build, you automate, you secure, and you push VVater to operate at the leading edge of what modern technology and AI make possible.
You take a problem that used to require a vendor, a contract, and six weeks, and you solve it yourself in an afternoon.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for a builder who wants to shape how a fast-scaling technology and manufacturing company runs.
