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. 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 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.

• Lead VVater's adoption and integration of AI across the company, embedding modern AI tools into how every team works
• Build internal tools, applications, automations, and AI agents that multiply the output of the entire organization
• Vibe-code working internal applications and workflows when a fast build beats a slow, expensive vendor solution
• Develop and integrate AI solutions into existing systems and business processes
• Stay at the bleeding edge of AI tooling (Claude, Claude Code, Grok, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, and whatever ships next) and bring the best of it into VVater's stack
• Identify manual, repetitive, or broken processes across the company and eliminate them with automation

Software Development & Integration

• Write and maintain code across modern languages and frameworks (full-stack capability expected)
• Connect and integrate the company's software stack, including CRM, CPQ, ERP, and channel partner tools
• Build dashboards, reporting, and lightweight applications that give the business real-time visibility

Cybersecurity

• Implement and manage security measures to protect VVater's data, systems, and networks
• Develop and enforce IT security policies and procedures, and ensure all users comply

IT Infrastructure & Cloud

• Own and administer the Microsoft cloud environment: Manage IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, and storage; Oversee installation, configuration, and maintenance of all IT equipment across servers, networks, and peripheral devices
• Develop disaster recovery plans and ensure data integrity and system availability
• Manage and maintain Wi-Fi, access control, and camera and surveillance systems for reliable, secure operations

IT Support & Operations

• Provide comprehensive IT support across software, hardware, and network components, including printers, phones, and peripherals
• Conduct regular system audits and generate reports on performance, identifying and implementing improvements
• Coordinate with third-party vendors and service providers to ensure effective and efficient service delivery
