IT & Security Infrastructure Lead

About the Company

Plant-level knowledge is vital to satisfying the food production needs from a projected forty percent increase in world population over the next thirty years. We support that goal by continuously and automatically assessing the health and performance of the world’s +$1T specialty crops, one plant at a time, with deep learning and imaging. Currently, Bloomfield is focused on grapes and blueberries. Our portable Flash cameras and supporting platform capture, geo-locate, and share the condition of each vine, tree, and bush, along with the various features of that plant. This information, in turn, informs a variety of daily decisions and actions that growers take to increase the size, quality, and consistency of yields without increasing the resources used to produce those yields.

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on technical leader to build and scale the foundation of our IT, identity, and security systems. You'll be the first dedicated hire in this space and will own the lifecycle from bootstrapping foundational tooling to maturing our internal security posture and endpoint management.

This is a high-impact role with the opportunity to design systems from the ground up and directly influence how our company manages identity, access, devices, and security.

This role is based in our Pittsburgh, PA office, located in Lawrenceville.

Responsibilities:

• Identity & Access Management (IAM):
  • Centralize identity using a directory provider (e.g., Google Workspace, Okta, or similar)
  • Automate onboarding/offboarding processes
  • Implement SSO and enforce MFA across all company systems
• Device & Endpoint Management:
  • Provision and manage laptops and devices with tools like MDM
  • Establish secure baselines and automate patch management
• Network & Access Control:
  • Improve internal network segmentation and VPN/ZTNA access
  • Define and enforce policies for secure remote access to company systems
• Security Operations:
  • Deploy and manage an EDR solution across all endpoints
  • Set up security alerting, logging, and monitoring in collaboration with engineering
  • Lead vulnerability and patch management processes
• Cloud Infrastructure & Collaboration Tools:
  • Audit and secure access to cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP)
  • Administer SaaS tools and ensure least-privilege access

Qualifications:

• 2-4 years of experience in IT infrastructure, security engineering, or systems administration, ideally within a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment
• Confidence with modern tools for identity, device management, and cloud security
• A proactive approach to building systems that scale as the company grows
• A passion for improving the employee experience while keeping data and systems safe
• Comfort with light automation or scripting 
• Familiarity with frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001—or interest in learning

What We’re Looking For:

You’re likely a great fit if you: 

• Experience or managed IT/security infrastructure in a fast-paced startup
• Are comfortable writing automation scripts (e.g., Terraform, Bash, Python)
• Enjoy designing systems and then rolling up your sleeves to implement them
• Understand compliance and security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) or are excited to learn
• Care deeply about enabling others and reducing friction across the company

What We Offer

In addition to the opportunity to apply and develop your skills toward key business objectives, we offer an excellent compensation package including:

• Competitive base salary
• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match
• Unlimited PTO 
• Parental Leave 
• Incentive Stock Options
