More about this role

At Revel, we are revolutionizing the way the world's most critical hardware is controlled—across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors. Our next-generation software stack combines an intuitive command/control interface, a specialized programming language tailored for hardware control, and a high-performance runtime environment. We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely.

You'll be Revel's first security engineer. There's no existing program to inherit and no legacy decisions to work around. You'll set the foundation for how Revel protects its platform, its infrastructure, and its customers.

Revel's software runs test campaigns and controls hardware for teams building rockets, satellites, and energy systems. It deploys across cloud, on-prem, and air-gapped environments, often next to export-controlled programs and sensitive hardware. Our customers trust us with critical work, and you'll be the person who makes sure that trust is earned. This isn't a compliance-only role. You'll spend most of your time building, and you'll be as close to our product architecture as you are to our infrastructure.
