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 Hadrian's engineering organization is scaling fast, and how we plan, build, ship, and respond to incidents needs to scale with it. Right now, that's an open problem. The SDLC processes that will define our engineering culture over the next decade are being built from scratch, and this role owns that work. As Technical Program Manager, SDLC, you will be the connective tissue across engineering, product, infrastructure, DevOps, and SRE. You will not manage a team, but you will drive how those teams operate together: from release management and incident response to program tracking and delivery predictability. This is a high-visibility role with direct access to engineering leadership and meaningful influence over how Hadrian builds software. If you want to design the system, not just work within it, this is the role. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Define and implement SDLC processes across engineering teams, building consistency and scalability where little currently exists - Own change management and release processes end to end - Drive the incident managem
