About Nominal
Nominal is building the software infrastructure powering the world’s most advanced hardware systems — from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next‑industrial machines. Our platform ingests high‑rate telemetry, validates complex autonomy software in real time, and enables engineers to iterate faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a small, fast‑moving team of engineers and operators who own problems end‑to‑end, work across disciplines, and thrive on challenges at the intersection of hardware and software.
As a dual‑use platform, we serve top‑tier commercial and defense customers, including the U.S. Navy, United States Air Force, Shield AI, and Anduril. We’re backed by Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed Ventures.
We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to take on a high‑leverage role focused on strengthening the foundations of our distributed systems and improving how the entire team builds, ships, and maintains software.
What You’ll Do
Drive
reliability and observability improvements
across large‑scale distributed systems.
Serve as a
force multiplier
across all engineering teams by reducing downtime, improving tooling, and freeing up senior engineers from firefighting.
Own and evolve our incident review process, leading postmortems, and embedding learnings into tools, practices, and culture across the company.
Collaborate with teams to improve
release hygiene , including automating release gating, preventing code from stagnating in staging environments, and implementing pre‑prod
automated test pipelines
to catch issues early.
Build and maintain
Nominal’s gRPC middleware
to ensure safe, observable, and performant service communication.
Improve
alerting, debugging, and monitoring
to ensure production health and rapid root cause analysis.
Who You Are
You have
7+ years of experience
in software engineering with a strong focus on production systems and distributed architectures.
You thrive in high‑leverage roles that improve how everyone else builds, ships, and fixes software.
You’ve
led or played a significant role in incident response, building systems, and culture around continuous improvement.
You’re excited by complexity, not afraid of it, and you’re deeply motivated to make systems safer and teams faster.
Skills that supercharge us
Experience working on
distributed systems
at scale.
Hands‑on experience with
Kafka/Redpanda, PostgreSQL
or other SQL databases, MongoDB/NoSQL databases,
Clickhouse
or other OLAP databases.
Deep understanding of
release automation , CI/CD, and code lifecycle management.
Familiarity with
gRPC
and experience building shared infrastructure components like middleware.
A systems mindset—you understand the ripple effects of a single bug and know how to design to prevent them.
Benefits & Perks
100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance
️ Unlimited PTO and sick leave
️ Free lunch, snacks, and coffee
Professional Development Stipend
