*Please note this is an onsite role. It will be based out of our Brooklyn Navy Yard HQ or El Segundo office 5x a week.
What you'll do:- Embed on-site with design partners and manufacturers for meaningful stretches of the year - their floor is your second office.
- Build trust across the full vertical, from the GM to the technician running the station. Software and hardware deployed without this trust doesn't get adopted.
- Develop genuine understanding of how each partner's shop works and why - the history, constraints, people, and physics of what moves through it.
- Translate unstructured observation into concrete requirements, then build, ship, and maintain the software yourself and through the other technical staff you coordinate on-site and at HQ.
- Stand up each newly acquired manufacturer: plant connectivity, edge hardware, access provisioning, monitoring, and the playbooks to ensure it is all repeatable.
- Own the infrastructure AIC OS runs on, end to end: on-premises and cloud environments, CI/CD, per-partner build and release pipelines, networking, identity and access, secrets, observability, and the edge devices sitting next to machines on the shop floor.
- Treat compliance as an engineering problem. Hardened environments, audit logging, and access controls are built into AIC OS, not bolted on.
- Write production code across the full stack - data model, ETL, backend, frontend, algorithms, hardware integrations, ML pipelines, analyses, and infrastructure. Everyone wears all the hats at various points in time.
- Run the process-engineering side of deployment - sequencing software changes with operational changes so the two evolve in lockstep, including the cultural work: training, change management, work instructions, quiet one-on-ones with skeptics.
- Own outcomes, not deliverables. Success is measured in operational maturity and financial outcomes gained by the partner, not features shipped.
Who you are:- 2+ years of experience in software, platform, or infrastructure engineering in a fast and collaborative production environment
- Experience running production infrastructure: Linux, Docker, CI/CD, networking, infrastructure as code, and observability
- Strong communication/stakeholder management skills
- Knowledge and intuition for designing and implementing data intensive applications and the systems they run on
- Depth in some of: cloud and on-prem deployment, zero-trust access and identity, secrets management, PostgreSQL operations, edge device fleets, incident response, or security engineering
- Hard-tech, robotics, and manufacturing background is a big plus
- Experience with OT networks, shop-floor equipment, or compliance frameworks like NIST 800-171 and CMMC is a big plus
What we have:- Medical, Dental, Vision benefits
- Unlimited PTO Policy
- $180-$250k + equity
- Relocation assistance
Nice to Have- Graduate education in computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, applied physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field
- Track record leading technical projects, especially in a customer-facing role
- Previous startup experience
- Product and design experience
