DevOps Engineer Huntington , California,

Huntington Beach, California, United States

Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

We’re hiring our first Dev Ops Engineer to build and own the infrastructure layer that powers everything we do — from developer velocity to production uptime. You’ll design, implement, and maintain the systems and tooling that keep our software lifecycle secure, scalable, and fast. This is a foundational hire: you’ll be given wide technical latitude and trusted to help shape our Dev Ops culture, tooling, and long-term approach to reliability and automation.

We're looking for someone who loves enabling engineering teams through thoughtful infrastructure design, has strong opinions about CI/CD and observability best practices, and thrives in a high-trust, fast-paced environment.

Build and maintain Github CI/CD pipelines to accelerate developer velocity and minimize deployment risk.

Architect and manage cloud infrastructure (AWS) for high availability, scalability, and security.

Monitor and improve system observability: logging, metrics, alerting, on-call response.

Collaborate with software and hardware teams to support test infrastructure, simulation environments, and production deployments.

Lead the implementation of best practices in infrastructure security and cost optimization.

Establish incident response protocols and support root cause analysis.

Help shape Dev Ops processes, tools, and team culture as we scale.

3+ years of experience in a Dev Ops, Infrastructure, or SRE role.

Proficiency with cloud platforms like AWS.

Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools like Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, Jenkins, etc.

Strong background in scripting (e.g. Python, Bash).

Solid understanding of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes or ECS).

Familiarity with system observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc).

Excellent debugging and incident management skills.

Comfortable owning large initiatives end-to-end with minimal oversight.

Experience supporting production systems in a defense, robotics, or hardware-adjacent environment.

Knowledge of airgapped or secure deployment environments.

Familiarity with compliance standards (e.g. FedRAMP, NIST 800-171, or CMMC).

Exposure to embedded systems build pipelines or cross-compilation tool chains.

Passion for automation, infrastructure design, and enabling engineering teams.

Experience in infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform, Cloud Formation).
