Security Administrator

About the role

You will administer, maintain, document, and continuously improve the technical security controls that protect Stoke's infrastructure, engineering environments, manufacturing systems, and sensitive aerospace data. You will work across IT, software engineering, manufacturing, and operations to administer scalable security controls that enable teams to move quickly without compromising Stoke's security posture. This is a hands-on security administration role supporting Stoke's evolving information security program where you must stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly. You will translate complex regulatory requirements into practical configurations and repeatable processes while collaborating closely with mission-driven colleagues who are dedicated to building a thriving space economy. If you want to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, this role provides the opportunity to own critical security outcomes from day one.

Key facts
