Head of Infrastructure & Security (, PA, United States)

WHAT YOU’LL DO

At Seakeeper, we're redefining what's possible on the water – and we need technology leadership that can scale with our ambition. As our Head of Infrastructure & Security, you'll build, secure, and evolve the foundation of technology that supports our global operations. You'll oversee enterprise infrastructure, cloud architecture, cybersecurity, service delivery, and technical governance while serving as the leader our teams turn to when challenges are complex and stakes are high. This isn't a role for someone who leads from the sidelines.

Part strategist, part architect, and part hands‑on operator, you'll help shape the future of technology at Seakeeper while ensuring the business remains secure, resilient, and ready for what's next.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE

It’s true that we make extraordinary products, but our favorite part about Seakeeper is our people! We believe in participative leadership. That means you have the freedom to make a difference and contribute to the larger goal, regardless of your position. Great ideas can strike at any moment, and when you have one, you’re empowered to speak up!

WHO WE ARE

71% of our Earth is covered by water and we want everyone to make the most of it. That’s why we are committed to creating products that transform the boating experience with an organization that employees want to work for, customers want to buy from, and vendors want to partner with. Seakeeper Ride, a Vessel Attitude Control System, eliminates underway pitch and roll, making time on the water safer and more comfortable for everyone on board.

Seakeeper was founded in 2008, growing from a start‑up operation to the worldwide leader in stabilization thanks to its popular line of gyrostabilizers. Seakeeper Ride launched in 2022 and is the first product deviation from that line, bringing the magic of Seakeeper to boats while underway. There’s a long runway of growth ahead as more and more OEMs adopt Seakeeper Ride as standard equipment and we work to make aftermarket refits a reality.

Seakeeper is personally committed to building an inclusive and diverse workforce. We are an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer/Affirmative Action Employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, marital status, veteran ]]> <
