*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
