IT Specialist (Part-Time / Freelance)
Description If you’ve ever dreamt of being there when it all started, this one’s for you. At ZeroPort , we don’t throw more software layers into the abyss of the remote access stack, we go straight to the core problem; IP connectivity. We’re building a fundamentally different approach to secure remote access - combining purpose-built hardware, robust software and a shift in how trust is enforced. Imagine remote connectivity with no exposed network, fully malware-repellant, and inherently data-leak proof. It sounds bold, we know. That’s exactly the point. Who We Are ZeroPort is tackling the hardest problem in secure network access - the legacy reliance on IP connectivity. We’ve designed and built a hardware-enforced solution that enables true non-IP remote access for the first time. We’re a focused and technical R&D team with a strong builder mentality, moving fast to change the way companies connect to the world. About the Role We’re looking for an experienced IT Engineer / IT Specialist to support our growing team on a part-time freelance basis (approximately once a week / as needed). This is not a full-time in-house position, but rather a hands-on external partner who can help us build, maintain, and support our IT infrastructure as the company grows. You’ll work closely with our technical team to ensure a reliable, secure, and scalable IT environment across office infrastructure, employee equipment, networking, cloud environments, and internal operational needs. What You’ll Do Set up, configure, and maintain company networks, including device connectivity and configuration. Build and maintain secure, organized infrastructure and manage the server room. Prepare and configure new computers for onboarding employees, tailored to role requirements. Establish dedicated networks for development, testing, and internal labs. Manage all company IT assets — computers, components, servers, and networking equipment. Maintain and operate organizational cloud environments (e.g., AWS / Azure), including VPNs, network setup, and secure access. Document systems, configurations, and internal procedures for operational continuity. Provide ongoing technical support to employees across hardware, software, and connectivity. Ensure information security at user, network, and server access levels — including permissions, monitoring, and alerts. Implement and maintain virtualization solutions (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V). Collaborate closely with the development team to support build and test processes. Lead the setup and management of IT systems from scratch as the company evolves. Requirements What We’re Looking For Proven experience in organizational IT environments. Deep knowledge of networking, communication protocols, and infrastructure. Strong understanding of computer hardware. Experience with virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.). Hands-on experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, etc.). Scripting skills (Bash, Python, PowerShell, etc.). Strong understanding of information security and secure infrastructure. Advantage: experience building IT systems from scratch in startups or fast-growing companies. Join Us Flexible freelance / part-time setup. High autonomy and real ownership. Opportunity to work closely with a highly technical cybersecurity team. Fast-moving startup environment with minimal bureaucracy. Let's build it together! Even if you don’t meet every requirement – we’d still love to hear from curious, motivated people.
