Job Description


We're not chasing the next app. We're engineering the unseen layer the low-level, rock-solid systems that allow sensitive data to move, sync, and stay secure across devices, distances, and domains no one else dares to touch.

Whether it's a classified sensor grid in the sky or a fully isolated compute cluster in an unmapped orbit, our software makes it all work. Fast. Encrypted. Unfailingly reliable. If that sounds like your kind of codebase, you're in the right place.

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 panicanda 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 thatmustwork, 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

Requirements

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?
