IT Lead – Infrastructure, Operations & Support, ReOrbit, Helsinki

ReOrbit is looking for an IT Lead – Infrastructure, Operations & Support to build and scale the infrastructure, operating model and service foundations that enable the company to grow.

As our IT Lead – Infrastructure, Operations & Support, you will take ownership of how ReOrbits core IT infrastructure and operations are designed, managed and scaled. You will combine hands-on technical leadership with strong operational governance, building resilient and repeatable systems across infrastructure, cloud, end-user computing and support.
