About the role
- In this role you'll define the technical direction for the infrastructure platform powering automated manufacturing across multiple factory sites.
- You'll move fluidly between strategy and implementation: one day driving a multi-cluster Kubernetes architecture decision, the next pairing on a Terraform module that makes it real.
- This role demands someone who has simplified complex systems at org scale, built platforms that engineers love to use, and grown the people around them.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform/OpenTofu
- Build and manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS in cloud, K0s/K3s at the edge)
- Build CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
- Develop reusable infrastructure patterns: Terraform modules, Helm charts, CUE schemas
- Support edge computing and IoT device deployments on factory floors
- Make architecture decisions under ambiguity and document them as ADRs
- Identify systemic operational gaps and drive automation that eliminates recurring toil
- Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper.
- Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
Requirements
- 8+ years in infrastructure or platform engineering
- Deep Terraform/IaC skills with module development and testing experience
- Production Kubernetes experience including troubleshooting, scaling, and multi-cluster patterns
- Deep hands-on experience with Terraform module architecture and testing
- Experience with edge or IoT infrastructure in manufacturing, defense, or robotics
- Track record of reducing infrastructure complexity, not just adding to it
Skills
- Architect networking between sites, edge devices, and cloud
- Implement monitoring and observability with Prometheus/Grafana and Datadog
- Drive build-vs-buy decisions and technology evaluations
- Establish engineering standards and best practices
- Represent infrastructure in cross-functional architecture reviews
- Participate in on-call rotation and incident response
- Write clear documentation and runbooks
Compensation
- For this role, the target salary range is $200,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
- This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.
- We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future.
- An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
- Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
- Flexible vacation policy
- Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Company info
- By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
- We're accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs.
- We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
