## Description

We're seeking a skilled IT Engineer to secure and scale the internal infrastructure that powers our mission-critical work., We're looking for someone with strong IT Engineering skills who shares our most important values:

 * You're fanatical about polish. Every detail matters. You love to make sure your configurations are documented, policies are enforced, and nothing slips through the cracks.
 * You care about correctness. You take pride in the fact that the systems and policies you put in place are airtight and auditable.
 * You obsess over security. You're always thinking about the attack surface and how to reduce it without making engineers miserable.
 * You dive deep. It's important for you to really know how things work. You read the spec, not just the summary.
 * You live on the bleeding edge. You've got a long list of upcoming platform features you're excited about and can't wait for the next nightly to drop.
 * You're a great teacher. You know how to communicate security requirements to engineers in a way that makes sense and gets buy-in.

Why work with us

 * We ship - We don't work on 18-month projects that are irrelevant before they're even finished.
 * Our work has impact - We build products that are deployed to U.S. submarines and integrate with the sonobuoys we manufacture.
 * We're growing responsibly - We have the resources to hire a lot more people, but we don't want to build a massive team of people who don't share our values.
 * We're remote - Work from wherever you want. We collaborate in real time on Slack or asynchronously via GitHub.
 * We're profitable - We aren't burning through cash trying to make the business work. But we also have investors who believe in us and are committed to our success.
 * We care about doing great work - You don't need permission to sweat the details here.
 * We don't take ourselves too seriously - We're building products that make the world safer. But we don't let that get to our heads.
