About the role

Selling autonomous systems into manufacturing, infrastructure, and logistics means our customers audit us before they trust us — security and compliance are a precondition for deploying our platform, not a function beside it.

What they're looking for

  • Professional experience in security engineering, infrastructure/platform engineering, or a closely related technical role — broad competence across security, networking, and operating systems, with real depth in at least one
  • Security fundamentals — trust boundaries and blast radius, authentication vs. authorization, least privilege, secrets handling, and judging real-world exploitability of findings
  • Networking — diagnosing connectivity issues across routing, firewalls/security groups, DNS, TLS termination, and proxies, comfortable with VPN/private connectivity and packet captures
  • Linux operating systems — processes, filesystems, permissions, systemd, resource limits, log analysis, and how containers relate to the host
  • Cloud infrastructure — hands-on with AWS or GCP beyond the console: IAM, networking, compute, and their failure modes
  • Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash, Go, or similar) — recurring manual work gets scripted away, not tracked by hand

Nexxa is building the best AI systems for heavy industries — enabling machines, systems, and operations to think, decide, and act autonomously across manufacturing, large-scale infrastructure, logistics, and legacy environments.

Our mission is to translate deep technical breakthroughs into operational reality, solving some of the hardest systems-level problems in industry.

You'll own our certification programs and the security and infrastructure underneath them — across our multi-account AWS organization, GCP footprint, and internal engineering platform. This role covers our own corporate and cloud environments, not customer plant-floor or control-system security.

This role is ideal for candidates who want real, ongoing ownership of a security function, including standing up and...
