Job description

• Work across a unique stack spanning internal IT, cloud infrastructure, factory operations, and robotics enablement

LOCATION

ABOUT DATAMENTORS

Datamentors is a robotics start-up building an agnostic orchestration platform and a family of proprietary robots — quadruped, mobile upper-body and humanoid — assembled at our own factory in Caniçal, Madeira. We also develop custom Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models that give our robots natural-language reasoning and autonomy, deployable across sectors from hospitality and healthcare to defence and logistics. With prototypes running and a clear path to 600 units per year, the engineers joining now will shape both the hardware and the intelligence behind Ardia for years to come.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Keep Datamentors' infrastructure running — from developer laptops and factory floor devices to the cloud systems that power Ardia. You will be the person everyone calls when something is broken, and the person who makes sure it breaks as rarely as possible.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage company IT: laptops, networking, access control, MDM, and SaaS tooling
• Administer cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) for development and production workloads
• Monitor and respond to infrastructure incidents and security alerts
• Support the factory with industrial networking, device management, and connectivity
• Own IT onboarding/offboarding and security hygiene processes

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years in IT administration or DevOps in a fast-moving tech company
• Hands-on with Linux, cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), and networking fundamentals
• Experience with MDM tools, identity providers, and zero-trust networking
• Comfortable with Python or Bash scripting for automation
• Based in Madeira; EU work permit required

WHY DATAMENTORS

• Work on real robots shipping to real customers — not a research lab or demo company
• Equity participation in an early-stage, venture-backed robotics company
• Relocation support and competitive compensation
• Madeira: island lifestyle, low cost of living, and a growing tech ecosystem
