Infrastructure Lead

Description

The company builds digital analysts that help law enforcement search evidence and solve crime, supporting public servants at every level of the criminal justice system.

Police departments, prosecutors, sheriffs, state investigative agencies and other criminal justice stakeholders across the U.S. use the product to speed up cold cases, homicides, gang conflicts, sexual assault and other serious offenses, plus day-to-day administrative work.

The team is small and close-knit, made up of former Palantir and Israeli Defense Forces engineers and operators.

This is a founding role for a Founding Infrastructure Wizard (SRE) who owns the company's infrastructure end to end and reports directly to the CTO. The systems you build will hold some of the most sensitive evidence that law enforcement agencies handle.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and run the infrastructure across AWS, including GovCloud, and GCP, defined in Terraform and running on ECS.
• Build and maintain systems that meet CJIS and government security requirements, covering access control, encryption, logging and audit readiness, in close work with the compliance team.
• Provision and scale GPU capacity for LLM and ML workloads, balancing performance, reliability and cost.
• Own uptime, monitoring, alerting and incident response, catching problems before they surface and fixing them quickly.
• Build the CI/CD pipelines, environments and tooling that let a small team ship quickly without weakening security.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience.
• Interest in strengthening U.S. government capability and public safety.
• A bias toward action, comfort in an extremely fast-paced setting, and drive to do your best work.
• You treat security and compliance as engineering problems rather than paperwork.
• Comfort with ambiguity: you move toward open and unanswered questions in an early-stage company.
• Experience with CJIS, FedRAMP or similar government environments is a strong plus.

Conditions

Based in New York City (preferred) or the Bay Area, California, with hybrid arrangements available.

Salary of $160k-$250k, which may be adjusted based on experience and ability.

Support through the FBI background check and CJIS clearance process as needed, given the sensitivity of the work.

Open to U.S. citizens and visa holders only.

The company is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristic.

Benefits

• Meaningful equity at founding-hire levels.
• Bonuses tied to company performance.
• 401(k) with a 3% company contribution, paid regardless of your own contribution.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Health and dental coverage, either direct or reimbursed.
• Short- and long-term disability insurance.
• Life insurance.
• Discounted gym and class memberships.
