About the role

Today, our core engineering team shares these responsibilities alongside building products. You will turn that work into a reliable, automated foundation that lets the entire team ship faster with confidence. This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful ownership. You will work directly with the CTO, make architectural decisions, write code, improve our deployment pipelines, and build security into the way we operate.

What they're looking for

  • You have 2+ years of relevant experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, platform engineering, SRE, or security engineering. We care most about what you have independently owned in production
  • You have operated real production systems on AWS. You understand compute, networking, IAM, storage, databases, and the tradeoffs involved in connecting them
  • You built and debugged systems before AI tools became part of your workflow. You have the fundamentals to reason through a networking issue, understand a permissions policy, or recover a failed deployment yourself
  • You have built and maintained deployment pipelines. You know how to ship changes safely, debug failed releases, and recover when something goes wrong
  • You understand practical cloud security. You can identify risks, prioritize them, and implement fixes
  • You can write code and automate repetitive work. You are comfortable with Python, TypeScript, Bash, or similar languages
More about this role

Vendra is building the AI-native operating system for manufacturing procurement and supply chain. Our goal is simple: build platforms, both external and internal, that allow fewer people to accomplish dramatically more.

Think about what Claude Code did for engineers. We are doing that for supply chain.

We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure & Security Engineer to take ownership of the infrastructure behind our products: how we deploy, how our systems scale, how we protect customer data, and how we keep everything running reliably.

This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful ownership. You will work directly with the CTO, make architectural decisions, write code, improve our deployment pipelines, and build security into the way we operate.

We already work with ambitious companies across aerospace, defense, robotics, and advanced manufacturing, including teams at Anduril, Mach Industries, and Relativity Space. See some of our customers here.
