We are seeking a Security & Infrastructure Engineer to help build and operate secure, scalable IT and security infrastructure across the company, including a new CMMC-compliant enclave environment supporting government and defense-related initiatives.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys operating across infrastructure, security, compliance, and end-user systems in a fast-paced engineering-focused environment. You’ll work closely with the Director of IT & Security as an early foundational member of the IT and security team, helping establish secure operational practices and scalable internal systems as the company grows.

• Help design, implement, and operate a CMMC-compliant enclave environment, including endpoint management, identity and access controls, logging, monitoring, operational processes, and technical documentation.
• Support day-to-day IT and security operations across both enclave and commercial environments, including SaaS administration, endpoint management, networking, troubleshooting, vulnerability management, and user support.
• Assist with compliance and security initiatives including CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, and related security and governance programs.
• Participate in security operations workflows including vulnerability remediation, audit preparation, evidence collection, vendor/security reviews, and policy/process development.
• Manage and support Windows, macOS, and Linux systems across cloud and local environments.
• Help improve identity and access management practices, endpoint security posture, asset management, and operational visibility across the organization.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and business teams to balance security, usability, and operational efficiency.
• Contribute to documentation, standards, and repeatable operational processes that support scaling the organization securely.
• Assist with onboarding, user lifecycle management, and internal technical support across the company.
• Domestic travel may occasionally be required.

Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship and may be required to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance in the future.

• 3–5 years of experience across IT, infrastructure, systems administration, security operations, or related technical roles.
• Strong hands-on experience supporting corporate IT environments in a small or mid-sized company setting.
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals, endpoint management, identity and access management, SaaS administration, and modern security tooling.
• Experience administering Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.
• Familiarity with MDM platforms, cloud-based collaboration systems, and endpoint security solutions.
• Exposure to regulated or compliance-oriented environments such as CMMC, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks preferred.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with the ability to operate independently across multiple domains.
• Comfortable balancing operational support responsibilities with longer-term infrastructure and security projects.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with an emphasis on documentation and operational clarity.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a highly cross-functional and fast-moving environment.

• Join a team that thrives on innovation and collaboration.
• Work on cutting-edge technology bridging embedded systems, cloud computing, and AI applications.
• Collaborate with world-class engineers solving complex distributed systems challenges.
• High ownership, fast iteration, and opportunities to lead architecture and innovation initiatives.
• Competitive equity options, and a culture that values innovation and technical excellence.
