The Mission

We're hiring a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to lead the development of foundational software and automation systems that support extreme-performance workloads. This role spans from bare-metal provisioning in zero-connectivity environments to high-volume telemetry ingestion and deployment orchestration in constrained, high-risk zones.

You’ll be one of the minds behind how secure systems get spun up, scaled, and verified under conditions where "failure" isn’t just a 500 error — it’s a national risk.

Your Work Will Include

  • Writing infrastructure logic from the ground up — including orchestration for environments where no internet or cloud access exists
  • Building automation frameworks and tools that support testing, deployment, and verification of distributed systems across unconventional networks
  • Designing internal tools for telemetry analysis, code audits, and system hardening
  • Developing policy-driven CI/CD flows that can pass rigorous security reviews
  • Creating performance harnesses to test against extreme latency, bandwidth, and memory constraints
  • Shaping long-term technical strategy across mission systems and deployment platform

Tech Stack You Might Touch

  • Languages: Go, Rust, Python, C++, Bash
  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Nomad, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, systemd
  • Platforms: Linux (especially hardened), bare-metal deployments, containerized runtimes
  • Environments: Air-gapped systems, classified networks, satellite and high-altitude platforms

Who Thrives Here

This isn’t a DevOps gig in a SaaS org. If you're the kind of engineer who:

  • Reads RFCs for fun
  • Can debug a kernel panic and a bad CI run
  • Has opinions about syscall behavior in restricted spaces
  • Gets excited by designing systems that could live in orbit

…then we want to talk.

You’ve likely worked in security-first environments, understand what it means to ship code that must work, and care deeply about reliability and long-term maintainability.

Why You’ll Stay

  • You’ll build tech most people will never know exists — but everyone depends on
  • You’ll work with engineers who obsess over the craft
  • You’ll never be handed “standard” — your work will define new baselines
  • You’ll be part of something with actual impact, not just metrics

Do NOT Apply If You:

  • Require visa sponsorship (H1B, TN, etc.).
  • Have a history of frequent short tenures (job hopping).
  • Come from IT consulting firms (Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Capgemini, etc.).
  • Have fake, misrepresented profiles.
  • Have NO LinkedIn Profile
