IT Systems, Security & Automation Architect

At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimization in real production environments.

With locations in Munich, San Francisco, and Austin, and backed by leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation.

At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious IT Systems, Security & Automation Architect (m/f/d) to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions.

As an IT Systems, Security & Automation Specialist, you will be part of the Office Management team while simultaneously serving as the nucleus for a future Center of Excellence focused on internal tooling, system landscapes, IT architecture, and intelligent automation.

We are looking for a highly execution-oriented, hands-on individual who takes operational ownership and is driven to independently build, evolve, and scale structures, systems, and strategies.

You will ensure that our current IT environment runs reliably, securely, and efficiently-while at the same time designing and developing the architecture of tomorrow: scalable, cloud-native, automated, and increasingly AI-powered.

Your Responsibilities

• Selection, implementation, and integration of internal tools (IT, Finance, HR, Admin, and engineering-adjacent systems)
• Design of a consistent system and data architecture across teams
• Close collaboration with engineering and cloud teams on security, access, and architectural topics
• Continuous development of our cloud-native IT and security architecture (e.g., AWS, identity, secrets, policies)
• Operation, security, and continuous improvement of our internal IT and network landscape
• Device and lifecycle management (laptops, mobile devices, peripherals)
• Identity, role, and access management (on-/offboarding, IAM, SSO)
• First- and second-level support for internal IT and system-related inquiries
• Application of AI and GenAI tools to automate internal processes
• Identification of concrete AI use cases (e.g., support, documentation, analysis, tool orchestration)
• Establishment of standards, best practices, and automations
• Co-creation of an internal systems, data, and AI strategy

Do you have experience in Systems engineering?, * Completed vocational training or a degree in Computer Science, IT, Systems Engineering, or a comparable field

• Several years of experience in internal IT, system administration, IT security, or cloud-adjacent environments
• Strong ownership mindset: you take responsibility, proactively identify gaps, and close them independently
• Strong interest in building new systems, structures, and architectures-not just operating existing ones
• Hands-on experience using and integrating AI / GenAI tools in day-to-day work (e.g., automation, assistant systems, analytics)
• Solid technical understanding of cloud architectures, identity models, networks, and security concepts
• Structured and pragmatic working style with a strategic mindset
• Excellent communication skills and a strong service orientation toward internal teams
• Very good English skills (German is a plus)

Why join RobCo? * Develop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation. * Help us build robots equipped with state-of-the-art AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time. * As part of a very dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you will take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work. * Flat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decisions and support your professional and personal development. * Work out across Germany in over 7,200 studios with our subsidized Wellpass membership. * Flexible working hours, a modern office, and-depending on the role-the option to work from home. * Regular team events-from relaxed beer & pizza nights on the rooftop terrace to shared experiences on ski trips or at Oktoberfest.
