Information Technology System Administrator

Systems Administrator (IT Hardware & Software Management)

Who We Are
At Agnikul, we are on a mission to make space accessible to everyone. We design, build, test, and launch orbital-class rockets specifically crafted for small satellites – all made in India. If you love tinkering with hardware, ensuring IT infrastructure runs like a well-oiled machine, and enjoy solving technical puzzles, then this role is for you!

What This Role Involves

If you’ve explained “Did you try turning it off and on again?” more times than you can count — and still believe in it, this is for you.
If your idea of a workout is hauling desktops across the office and doing squats while fixing under-the-desk wiring, this is for you.
If you love to be part of a space tech company where the only thing cooler than rocket science itself is keeping the systems that build rockets running, this is for you.

As a Systems Administrator, you will take charge of our IT hardware ecosystem, ensuring seamless connectivity, security, and efficiency to support cutting-edge aerospace engineering.

What You Will Be Doing:
Setting up, configuring, and maintaining IT hardware – servers, workstations, networking devices, and more.
Managing system backups, data recovery, and disaster recovery plans.
Monitoring system performance and resolving issues before they become problems.
Implementing cybersecurity best practices to protect our data and IT infrastructure.
Managing user access controls, permissions, and account provisioning.
Keeping an inventory of IT assets and planning hardware upgrades.
Providing technical support and training to team members.
Working with vendors and service providers to ensure smooth IT operations.
Documenting IT policies, procedures, and best practices.

What You Need To Have:
A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).
Some experience in system administration or IT support.
Strong expertise in Windows, Linux, and/or macOS environments.
Hands-on experience with networking hardware and protocols (firewalls, switches, VPNs and Wi-Fi).
A solid understanding of IT security principles and best practices.

Experience with cloud services like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud is a plus.
A knack for diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues quickly.
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
The ability to work independently in a high-paced startup environment
Ability to work extended hours as needed

What You Get:
A front-row seat to India’s space revolution.
Competitive salary and benefits.
The chance to build IT infrastructure from the ground up.
A workplace where innovation is encouraged and mistakes are seen as learning opportunities.
A passionate, mission-driven team that loves what they do.
