NO REMOTE OR HYBRID AVAILABILITY FOR THIS POSITION VVater is looking for a highly skilled, AI-forward technology leader to own and run IT across the company. This is not a traditional sysadmin seat.

You build, you automate, you secure, and you push VVater to operate at the leading edge of what modern technology and AI make possible. You take a problem that used to require a vendor, a contract, and six weeks, and you solve it yourself in an afternoon. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for a builder who wants to shape how a fast-scaling technology and manufacturing company runs.
