Nominal powers mission-critical engineering with advanced data infrastructure, real-time observability, and analysis tools — all in one collaborative platform. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
About the role
Build the interfaces administrators use to assign roles, manage users and groups, create workspaces, issue and revoke API keys, and control which data sources each person can see. You'll help define the workflows and interaction patterns that make a relationship-based permission model understandable and hard to misconfigure.

What they're looking for
- 3 to 8 years experience building products for technical users where you’ve been involved in authentication, access control, or similar security domains
- Strong experience with TypeScript, and modern frontend architecture, along with an understanding of how frontend systems interact with backend services
- Experience building products involving industry-standard authentication flows or working with open source authorization systems such as AuthZed / SpiceDB
- Strong product instincts. You naturally ask "Why are we building this?" before "How should I implement it?" and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions when you believe there's a better solution for users
- A systems mindset. You enjoy reasoning about data models, user workflows, and how complex systems should behave before jumping into implementation
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical and product tradeoffs clearly across engineering, design, and product teams
More about this role
Engineers today are building some of the most ambitious machines humanity has ever seen. They should have AI that’s purpose-built for them.
Nominal is building the Hardware Intelligence Platform that gives engineers increased visibility into complex physical systems, helps them make better decisions, and ultimately gets their products into the real world faster. It brings together the systems, data, intelligence, and applications hardware engineering requires to meet the AI moment. Hardware engineering teams use Nominal to simulate, test, manufacture, and operate the physical systems that keep the world moving, from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation energy systems and robotics.
