About the role

This is a full-stack role-spanning application code, cloud, Kubernetes, identity management, and cutting-edge operational technology on the factory floor.
You'll work with innovative systems, some being developed here for the first time, including manufacturing and OT environments that few security engineers have encountered.
Join us as a founding member of a rapidly growing security team.

Own security end-to-end across the whole stack - application code, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes workloads, identity and authorization, and the factory-floor and operational-technology systems that produce real parts.
Dig into unfamiliar systems - new tech we're adopting and manufacturing systems few people understand - map how they actually work, identify where the real risk lies, and design controls that fit the way Hadrian builds.
Turn compliance into engineering. Build the practical foundations for CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171 and the ITAR boundary as controls that hold up under audit - not paperwork beside the system.
Respond when it matters. Investigate, contain, and drive incidents to resolution, then turn each one into a systemic fix and a better default.
You write code (Go, Python, or similar) and solve problems by building the guardrails and tooling - SDKs, CLIs, CI/CD checks, and patterns - that make it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong one, rather than filing a ticket for someone else.
Fluency with agentic systems. Familiarity with agentic loops and task delegation - building with or on LLM agents and automation
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

4+ years in security engineering, software engineering, or infrastructure/platform engineering, with real hands-on security ownership somewhere in there.
A track record of deleting controls or process - retiring the checks that shouldn't exist and proving the automated replacement held.
Security experience in manufacturing or OT environments
Familiarity with ITAR/EAR and CUI marking and handling requirements
Ability to mentor and grow a team.
As security scales here, you can set technical direction and level up the engineers who join around you.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

For this role, the target salary range is $160,000 - $230,000 (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.

Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
Flexible vacation policy
Build the agentic tooling and automation loops - AI-driven checks, paved-road patterns, self-enforcing guardrails - that let coverage grow with what you build rather than with headcount.
When necessary, the Company also makes reasonable accommodations for disabled candidates and employees, including for candidates or employees who are disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

As a Security Engineer at Hadrian, you'll shape the security of our platform as we expand to serve external customers and partners.
