Firestorm Labs - Democratize the fight with radically-affordable, mission-adaptable power for air, land, and sea. Backed by NEA.
About the role
Firestorm builds uncrewed aircraft and the manufacturing network that produces them: full-capability plants, deployable xCell edge factories, and forward-deployed sites that stand up production near the point of need.
What they're looking for
- U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance
- Operating Systems: Deep operational proficiency with Linux distributions (RHEL, Ubuntu, Rocky) and/or Windows Server environments, including OS hardening, kernel tuning, and troubleshooting
- Scripting & Automation: Strong practical scripting skills in at least one language (Bash, Python, or PowerShell) to automate administrative tasks and repetitive workflows
- Networking Fundamentals: Solid understanding of core networking protocols and services (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, HTTP/S, SSH, VPNs, and firewall rules)
- Virtualization & Cloud: Hands-on experience administering virtualized infrastructure (VMware ESXi/vCenter, Hyper-V, KVM) or public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Monitoring & Tooling: Experience configuring and operating enterprise monitoring, logging, and APM tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, ELK, or CloudWatch)
More about this role
At Firestorm, we are building the future of expeditionary defense manufacturing and autonomous systems. Modern conflict has exposed a fundamental problem: the systems needed most by operators are often too expensive, too slow to produce, and too difficult to sustain at scale. Firestorm exists to change that.
We develop mission-adaptable aerial systems and deployable manufacturing infrastructure designed to put capability directly into the hands of the warfighter. From modular unmanned aircraft to xCell — our deployable microfactory — our goal is to make defense systems rapidly deployable, adaptable, and producible at the point of need.
We are looking for builders, operators, and problem-solvers who want to work on meaningful technology with real-world impact.

Crucible is the software that runs that network. It runs in the cloud, inside a factory, and air-gapped in classified environments. At the edge, Crucible has to operate reliably on local compute, connect to...
