Description
At Lufa Farms, we’re on a mission to create a better food system and a huge part of this is achieved by growing food where people live, and growing it responsibly. This led us to build the world’s first commercial rooftop greenhouse in 2011, followed by the world’s largest less than a decade later. We partner with local farmers, food makers, and artisans to offer fresh, local, responsible products to our Lufavores. The items are sold through our Marketplace, an online platform we built from scratch in-house, along with other software, including the innovative pick-and-pack system we use daily. To ensure we’re well supported as we continue to work towards the lofty goals we’ve set, we’re looking for someone to oversee our IT operations, including scaling our existing IT infrastructure from a small centralized effort to differentiated and specialized roles.
The IT Manager will oversee a small to mid-sized team of technicians and external contractors (as needed). They’ll be directly responsible for capacity planning, scaling the team, record-keeping, access and asset management, and web security. The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of computer systems, web security, network and systems administration, databases, and data storage systems.
