About SKADI

SKADI Cyber Defense Corporation is a Canadian cybersecurity startup building Frostbow, an autonomous security platform designed for defence and critical infrastructure environments.

Were a small, committed team building something that matters. The work is complex and often challenging, but its also deeply collaborative and genuinely enjoyable. People here care about the craft, care about each other, and take pride in building things properly.

Youll be trusted to do great work, encouraged to ask questions, and supported by teammates who want to build alongside you. We work hard, we laugh, and we take real satisfaction in watching something take shape because we built it together.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, in-person Cloud Infrastructure Engineer role based out of our Bracebridge, Ontario office.

Youll be right in the middle of designing, building, securing, and operating SKADIs cloud infrastructure while helping prepare our systems for government and defence security certifications. Because of the nature of our work and how closely we collaborate, regular in-office presence is essential.

This role suits someone who likes being close to the work, enjoys thinking things through with others, and wants to have a real hand in shaping both the technology and the company as it grows.

What Youll Actually Do

• Youll own our cloud platform and work side by side with a small, motivated team.
• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure that meets Canadian data residency requirements
• Prepare infrastructure, controls, and documentation for government security certifications
• Support integrations with operational technology and critical infrastructure environments
• Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines
• Operate production systems, including monitoring, incident response, and capacity planning
• Youll have room to bring ideas forward, try things, and improve how we work, not just follow a checklist.

How We Work

This is an in-office role. While there is occasional flexibility, this is not a remote or hybrid-first position.

We work with a high level of trust. People here collaborate closely, share context openly, and step in to help each other without being asked. Curiosity is welcomed. Initiative is noticed. Good work is appreciated.

You wont be micromanaged, but you will be expected to care deeply about what youre building and how it shows up in the world.

Why This Role

Youll gain hands-on experience with government and defence security certification processes - high demand skills with strong career trajectory.

More than that, youll be part of a small, ambitious team building something meaningful from the ground up. If you enjoy working closely with others, solving real problems, and growing alongside the company youre helping to shape, this will feel like a very good place to land.
