IT Infrastructure & Systems Engineer

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Taken Media Arts LLC (TMA) is a Saudi-based VFX and post-production studio working across film, episodic, commercial, and emerging AI-driven creative workflows. We support major studios, broadcasters, and high-profile clients within the Kingdom and internationally, operating in highly secure and confidential environments. As we scale our Riyadh studio, we are building a strong in-house IT and infrastructure function to support artists, production teams, and secure client delivery.

We are seeking a Junior–Mid Level IT Infrastructure & Systems Engineer to support and maintain our on-site IT environment in Riyadh. This is a hands-on infrastructure support role within a creative studio environment. You will work closely with artists, production staff, and senior technical leadership to ensure systems are reliable, secure, and performing well. This is not a call-centre or ticket-only IT support role, and not a Dev Ops or software development position.

It is suited to someone who enjoys practical IT, infrastructure, and systems work and wants to grow into a more senior engineering role over time.
