Job Description

Blykalla is scaling quickly as we industrialize our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology. As our organisation grows, the systems, infrastructure, and security that support our daily work need to grow with us.

We are now looking for an IT Lead who will take ownership of how internal IT is structured, operated, and continuously improved across the organisation.

Today, we are close to 110 people, with our headquarters in Stockholm and a newly established office in the United States. In this role, you will play a key part in ensuring that our digital workplace, IT infrastructure, and internal systems remain secure, reliable, and scalable as we continue to grow.

If you enjoy building structure, improving systems, and enabling teams to work effectively, this could be the role for you.

What we do at Blykalla

Our technology is based on decades of research and combines innovative fuel, materials, and reactor design to enable safe and efficient nuclear power generation.

About the Role

Today, internal IT at Blykalla is handled through a combination of IT support and external vendors. As the company grows, we need to move from a reactive support model to a structured, secure internal IT environment.

In this role, you will own and develop Blykalla’s internal IT infrastructure and security, ensuring that our systems, networks, and tools support the company as we scale toward 200+ employees and multiple international offices.

You will work closely with teams across the organization and help ensure that our IT environment is secure, reliable, and scalable.

• Ensure a scalable IT setup that supports growth and international expansion

• Support and structure the company’s IT support function

• Collaborate with external IT vendors and service providers

• Support onboarding and offboarding processes from a systems perspective

• Help ensure secure and reliable operations across offices in Sweden and the US

• Manage and maintain our Linux-based server infrastructure

• Own the relationship with our external network partner, understand the existing setup, troubleshoot day-to-day issues independently, and engage the vendor for larger changes or incidents

• Manage VPN access, including setup, provisioning, and ongoing administration

Who you are

This role suits someone who enjoys building structure and taking ownership of internal IT environments in a growing organisation.
