Job Details:

Role: Lead Engineer (IT, Security & Internal AI)

Experience: 10 - 14 years

Location: Delhi

About the Role: We need a builder - a tech soldier for the nation to architect and maintain the internal nervous system of the company, from securing our data to managing the laptops our engineers code on.

You will own the company's internal tech landscape across IT Infrastructure, Cloud Budgeting (FinOps), AI-driven productivity, Information Security, and Data Privacy. Your mandate: build secure paved roads that let engineering teams run fast, and be the first line of defence when their tools break. This is a hands-on builder role, not a traditional IT Manager position of pushing tickets or governing through bureaucracy.

What You'll Own:

- Own the fleet - manage the end-to-end lifecycle of all physical machines, network devices and office IT infrastructure, including hands-on break/fix troubleshooting.

- Engineer zero-touch provisioning and modern Mobile Device Management (MDM) so new teammates auto-configure securely on day one.

- Act as the financial gatekeeper for the tech stack - implement aggressive FinOps practices, right-size workloads, and optimize cloud footprint and SaaS licenses.

- Identify and deploy GenAI tools, copilots and LLMs to radically boost internal productivity, with the mandate to build and deploy where it cuts cost or automates an operation.

- Design a modern Zero-Trust security architecture embedded directly into the developer workflow - security invisible to the engineer, impenetrable to the threat.

- Act as the technical guardian of data privacy, translating DPDP Act and SOC2/ISO 27001 requirements into automated code and infrastructure guardrails.

- Own IAM, endpoint security across all physical devices, and automated incident response pipelines.

- Manage the vendor ecosystem - hardware suppliers, software licenses, SaaS platforms - demanding engineering excellence and strict SLA adherence from partners.

What We're Looking For:

- 10 - 14 years of deep, hands-on experience spanning internal IT infrastructure, FinOps/budget management, and information security.

- Comfortable opening up a machine to troubleshoot a hardware failure as well as running a security audit.

- A creative problem solver who treats developer friction - a slow laptop or a strict firewall - as an engineering bug to be fixed.

- Forward-looking - you play with modern GenAI tools and constantly think about applying them to enterprise architecture.

- Mission-driven - you want to use your engineering talents to build, maintain and protect India's digital public infrastructure.

A strong plus: Experience across MDM / zero-touch provisioning | FinOps on AWS/GCP | Zero-Trust architecture | DPDP Act and ISO 27001 implementation | GenAI-driven internal tooling.
