About the job

About the Company

At Swift Solar, we are dedicated to realizing the immense potential of solar energy. Our vision is that solar energy can power lives, enhance economies, and strengthen supply chains while safeguarding planetary health amidst global climate challenges. Although current solar technology is effective, we believe it can be significantly improved.

We are revolutionizing solar energy with our innovative tandem technology, leveraging perovskite materials to produce solar solutions that surpass traditional technologies in efficiency and versatility. Our applications range from space solar systems to utility-scale power generation.

As a mission-driven startup, Swift Solar is supported by the U. S. government and backed by leading global investors. We are committed to the long-term journey of bringing groundbreaking clean energy technology to market. Join our exceptional team as we develop cutting-edge solar technology that will redefine the future of the global solar industry.

A Day in the Life

Swift Solar is seeking a proactive IT and security leader who will manage our current IT operations while laying the groundwork for future manufacturing sites.

In this role, you will oversee all aspects of Swift IT — managing onboarding and offboarding, device allocation, incident response, and system upgrades — ensuring our issue-management system is transparent to prevent any oversights. Security will be a vital aspect of this position: you will implement least-privilege access, establish boundaries for sensitive systems, enhance endpoint hygiene, and devise secure vendor-access strategies across our office, lab, and shared-system environments. You will also strengthen role-based access controls for technical cooperation between our teams in the U. S. and Germany and ensure that Swift's security measures evolve in line with the company’s growth.

The major opportunity lies in shaping the future as Swift transitions to manufacturing. You will set standards for site networking, shared workstations, vendor access, and endpoint deployment at new facilities. This role offers a unique chance to join us at an early stage, create real impact, and expand your role as Swift progresses — evolving from a capable, hands-on leader today to architecting Swift's global IT infrastructure tomorrow.
