Senior IT Infrastructure Lead

Overview

Senior IT Infrastructure Lead to provide full-time, on-site IT support for Mythic AI's Bangalore VLSI design center and its growing team of design engineers, working as part of the broader Mythic IT function.

What you'll do

• Provide and own day-to-day, on-site IT support for the design center and act as the local point of contact and liaison for IT matters.
• Implement and follow Mythic's global IT policies, asset management processes, and support standards rather than defining separate local processes.
• Coordinate closely with Mythic HQ IT/security teams on standards, security, infrastructure, tools, support processes, audits, and compliance.
• Manage local vendor relationships for hardware, software, networking, and EDA licensing.
• Support and coordinate any additional India-based IT resources as part of the broader Mythic IT function.
• Maintain and troubleshoot Windows, Mac, and Linux laptops/desktops and peripherals for the local design engineering team.
• Manage the full hardware lifecycle including procurement, imaging, patching, warranty, and asset tracking.
• Ensure minimal downtime through proactive monitoring and rapid issue resolution.
• Standardize OS images, software deployment, and security configurations across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
• Administer Mythic's global identity and access standards locally, including single sign-on and multi-factor authentication enrollment, group-based access, and local approval of access requests.
• Operate unified endpoint management, disk encryption, and patch compliance across the local fleet.
• Execute onboarding and offboarding in line with global joiner, mover and leaver processes.
• Produce the evidence required for customer and third-party security assessments.
• Configure and maintain networking equipment (switches, routers, firewalls) in coordination with the global IT team.
• Manage and troubleshoot site-to-site VPN connectivity between sites.
• Administer firewall rules, access policies, and network security configurations.
• Monitor network performance and proactively resolve connectivity issues affecting design workflows.
• Install, configure, and maintain Linux servers supporting design and compute workloads.
• Own the local remote desktop and virtual workstation experience the design team depends on, including performance troubleshooting across long-haul links to other sites.
• Provision and manage cloud computing resources as required by project needs.
• Perform server administration including user management, storage, backups, patching, and performance tuning.
• Support compute farm and job scheduling environments used for EDA workloads where applicable.
• Build, run, and maintain container images and container-based build and CI environments used by local engineering teams.
• Troubleshoot containerized workloads.
• Use scripting and configuration management to automate routine administration rather than performing it by hand.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Electronics, or related field.
• 8–10 years of progressive IT infrastructure experience, with at least 2–3 years in a senior/lead capacity.
• Strong hands-on expertise across Windows, Mac, and Linux desktop support.
• Solid Linux server administration skills (installation, configuration, troubleshooting, security hardening) across both major distribution families.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and containers, including building and maintaining images and running container-based build or CI environments.
• Working knowledge of networking: VPN, firewalls, switches, routing, VLANs.
• Experience administering an enterprise identity provider (SSO and MFA) and an MDM or unified endpoint management platform.
• Exposure to cloud platforms for compute provisioning.
• Experience supporting remote desktop or virtual workstation environments for technical users.
• Proven ability to run on-site IT operations for a site/center while working within a central/global IT team, including vendor and stakeholder management.
• Excellent communication skills to coordinate with global (US) teams across time zones.
• Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and process-orientation.

Nice to have

• Experience with EDA tool installation and license management.
• Familiarity with compute farm/job scheduler tools.
• Certifications such as CCNA, RHCE, Apple Certified support, or cloud certifications.
• Experience supporting semiconductor/VLSI design flows.
• Scripting skills (Bash, Python) for automation.
• Good to have: assist with installation, configuration, and licensing of EDA tools on Linux servers and workstations; support license server troubleshooting; coordinate with design teams and EDA vendors during upgrades or issues.
