Full Job Description
Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts. We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts. Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond. The Role: In this role you'll define the technical direction for the infrastructure platform powering automated manufacturing across multiple factory sites. You'll shape the architecture spanning cloud, edge, and factory-floor systems, setting the standards, patterns, and engineering culture that the entire organization builds on. You'll move fluidly between strategy and implementation: one day driving a multi-cluster Kubernetes architecture decision, the next pairing on a Terraform module that makes it real. This role demands someone who has simplified complex systems at org scale, built platforms that engineers love to use, and grown the people around them. Not just shipped impressive infrastructure, but made everyone else's infrastructure better too. What You’ll Do - Design and implement cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform/OpenTofu - Build and manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS in cloud, K0s/K3s at the edge) - Build CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD - Develop reusable infrastructure patterns: Terraform modules
