Provide assistance, training, and mentorship to other team members.
Required Qualifications
Proficiency with Nix, Nixpkgs, NixOS, and functional programming generally.
Deep understanding of how build systems and packaging ecosystems work.
Ability to dive into large and complicated systems, and use Nix to improve them.
Experience with one or more of the following languages: Rust, C++, Go, Python, Haskell.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with managing cloud computing resources (e.g., AWS).
Experience with modern build and deployment tooling, and continuous integration (e.g., NixOS, Terraform).
Experience designing complex software systems, and iterating upon designs via a technical design review process.
Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices.
A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration.
Salary $191,000—$253,000 USD (exclusive of potential equity and other compensation). This range is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors; the actual offer may vary.

Generous time off: PTO plans with a holiday hiatus in December, caregiver & wellness leave.
Family planning & parenting support: Coverage for fertility treatments, adoption, and gestational carriers.
Mental health resources: 24/7 access to free mental health resources, therapy, life coaching, and additional work‑life services.
