Director, Information Technology

Meet Slingshot

At Slingshot Aerospace, we're on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world. We're a team of builders, thinkers, and problem‑solvers who believe that the next generation of space operations will be powered by better data and smarter software.

We move fast, we're not afraid to fail, and we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere—whether you're in engineering, sales, product, or operations. If you want to work on something that truly matters, with people who care deeply about the impact we're making and help shape the future of an industry that's just getting started, you're in the right place.

Slingshot is seeking a Director of Information Technology to lead and scale our internal technology ecosystem as the company continues its growth. This is a highly technical leadership role responsible for designing, implementing, integrating, and operating the systems that power our workforce. Modern IT at Slingshot is not primarily about managing support queues or maintaining legacy infrastructure. It is about selecting best‑in‑class technologies, integrating them into a cohesive environment, automating workflows, and building systems that simply work.

We are looking for a technical leader who has personally led major technology implementations and understands enterprise architecture, identity management, endpoint management, SaaS ecosystems, automation, and security. Candidates whose experience is primarily focused on vendor management, help desk operations, or support organizations without direct ownership of technical architecture and implementation will not be successful in this role.

We're building a team of sharp, creative people who love solving hard problems. We value curiosity over ego, initiative over waiting for permission, and people who genuinely care about doing great work. Bring your expertise, your fresh ideas, and your drive, we'll bring the rocket fuel.
