IT & Security Manager

About us:

The physical and digital worlds are merging. Vehicles, medical devices, industrial systems, critical infrastructure: security hasn't kept pace. AI is accelerating everything, from the capabilities of the systems we depend on to the sophistication of the threats targeting them. A software vulnerability can now have physical consequences. A physical breach can compromise entire digital ecosystems. Billions of devices operate with little to no protection, and traditional approaches can't keep up. Not at this scale, not at this speed, and not across this diversity of systems.
Exein exists to solve this. We build the security layer for a world where physical and digital threats are no longer separate problems, from kernel-level runtime protection on embedded devices to cloud-native platforms that analyze, protect, and prove compliance across entire device fleets. We're not patching the old model. We're building security from the core out.

About the Role

We are looking for an IT & Security Manager to own our IT environment and help us build strong security and compliance foundations.
This is a hands-on, mid-level role at the intersection of IT operations and cybersecurity. Day to day, you will run and improve our Linux systems, manage our Google Workspace environment and our devices through MDM, and put in place the security controls, policies and processes that keep the company protected and audit-ready.
Compliance is a key part of the job. You will support audits and certification activities such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2, maintaining evidence, documentation and remediation plans, and handling security questionnaires from customers, partners and investors. A background in cybersecurity is strongly valued.
You will have real ownership from day one, direct access to leadership, and room to grow your scope as the company scales. If you are a sharp, curious IT or security professional with solid technical foundations and a practical, proactive attitude, we would love to hear from you.
