About this role

Nethermind is seeking an IT Department Lead to oversee internal IT operations, including Platform Engineering and Infrastructure Security, in a fully remote environment. Ideal candidates will have extensive experience in IT leadership and cloud infrastructure.

Description

About Nethermind: Nethermind is a blockchain research and software engineering company building high-performance infrastructure, security tooling, and cryptographic systems across the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond. We work closely with protocol teams, L2s, and ZK projects to help design, review, and secure cutting-edge decentralized systems. We are expanding our Team and are looking for engineers with hands-on experience auditing cryptographic and zero-knowledge systems.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities:

  • Lead and supervise the full Internal IT Department: Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Security, IAM and FinOps.
  • Drive company-wide and team-level infrastructure initiatives, co-defining strategy and roadmap with the CIO and rest of the team.
  • People management across the department: staffing, career guidance, performance reviews, and raising the technical bar.
  • Maintain clear, consistent communication with C-level executives and group leads to strengthen cross-functional relationships and eliminate DevOps silos.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for all internal IT matters, staying in constant sync with the CIO on new initiatives and resource allocation.
  • Adapt the best of AI technology to the daily engineering and non-engineering working routine.
  • Communicate with external clients when required, representing the department's capabilities and aligning on infrastructure needs.
  • Continuously identify and implement improvements and optimisations in the way the organisation works.
  • Support hiring efforts: sourcing, interviewing, and evaluating candidates to grow the team with top talent.
  • Conduct monthly performance reviews using Rippling, providing structured feedback.
Requirements

Must Haves:

  • Proven experience leading and scaling IT / infrastructure / platform engineering teams (5+ years in a management role).
  • Strong background in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and DevOps/SRE practices.
  • Strategic thinking with the ability to co-define and execute on technical roadmaps.
  • Hands-on understanding of infrastructure security, IAM, and FinOps disciplines.
  • Experience translating compliance and audit requirements (e.g. SOC2, ISO 27001, or sector-specific frameworks) into operational controls.
  • Comfort owning or governing internal AI tooling and agentic workflows, with a security-first mindset.
  • Excellent people management skills: hiring, mentoring, career development, and performance management.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to C-level stakeholders and non-technical audiences.
  • Practical experience with security incident response and threat modelling, ideally including supply-chain and adversarial/state-actor scenarios.
  • Comfortable operating in a fully remote, async-first, globally distributed environment.
  • Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, able to juggle multiple initiatives and stakeholders simultaneously.
Conditions & Benefits

What We Offer/ Benefits:

  • Flexible Work Options: Remote-first culture with the opportunity to work from anywhere.
  • Global and Diverse Workforce: You'll work with people from various backgrounds and cultures.
  • Learning and Development: You'll work on innovative, challenging projects and have access to experts and mentors to enhance your skills.
  • Career Growth: Access to training, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to open-source initiatives.
  • Global Events and Conferences: Opportunities to attend the industry events.
  • Collaborative and Innovative Culture: We foster teamwork and encourage new ideas.
  • Unlimited Time Off: Enjoy the freedom to structure your working hours in a way that suits you best, with the flexibility to take unpaid time off whenever needed to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
  • Equity participation allowing you to benefit directly from the company's success.
