## About the role

We’re looking for a Deployment Systems Specialist to join our team building high-scale, mission-critical infrastructure for advanced hardware systems. You’ll tackle high-scale, mission-critical problems, deploy and monitor complex distributed systems, and own projects end-to-end, all while collaborating with a team of top engineers. This role includes hands-on work in air-gapped environments, frequent travel to end-user sites, and requires U.S. TS Clearance eligibility.

## What they're looking for

- On-prem experience: Hands-on experience deploying and supporting systems in on-prem, edge, or restricted environments. Experience with government or classified environments is a plus
- Compliance awareness: Familiarity with security, compliance, and accreditation requirements, including auditability, system hardening, and regulated deployments
- Customer-facing skills: Able to work directly with customers on complex technical issues, build trust, and navigate difficult tradeoffs while maintaining clear boundaries and expectations
- Process builder: Proven ability to turn operational challenges into repeatable processes, documentation, and deployment standards that scale
- Systems mindset: Able to think holistically about infrastructure while digging into root causes and technical details when needed
- Ownership and execution: Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable working across teams to drive outcomes in ambiguous environments
