## 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. Crucible is the software that runs that manufacturing network. It operates across cloud, factory, edge, and air-gapped environments, creating security problems that have to be solved in the product and infrastructure itself.

- Strong software engineering skills and experience contributing directly to production code
- Strong Linux, networking, and cloud security fundamentals
- Deep experience securing Kubernetes, containers, and cloud infrastructure
- Strong experience with identity and access management, authentication, authorization, secrets management, and PKI
