Description

Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

Responsibilities

• As our Senior Identity Engineer, you will own workforce and workload identity end-to-end — SSO, MFA, the joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, privileged access, secrets, and service/machine identity — across corporate, cloud, and factory systems that handle export-controlled technical data. You will build an automation-first, least-privilege identity program that shrinks our largest attack surface while keeping engineers fast. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role on a small, high-leverage security team in Los Angeles.
• Design, implement, and operate our IdP stack (e.g., Okta, Entra, Google Workspace, Auth0, or Zitadel) — SSO, SCIM provisioning, and phishing-resistant MFA — and build the systems around it.
• Build identity systems at scale that put OAuth 2.0 / OIDC / SAML and modern authorization models (RBAC and relationship-based access control) to work in production.
• Own cloud identity end-to-end — Azure service principals, AWS IAM, and workload/service identity — and tie those identities cleanly to the underlying infrastructure.
• Work cross-functionally to help other teams meet their identity needs, and automate the access lifecycle (joiner-mover-leaver) and reviews.
• Partner with Detection & Response and Compliance/FSO so identity telemetry is detectable, actionable, and audit-ready.

Requirements

• You can build. Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping identity systems at scale — not just configuring a vendor tool or leaning on AI-assisted coding.
• Real command of core identity concepts — OAuth 2.0 flows, OIDC, SAML, RBAC, and relationship-based access control (ReBAC) — and the ability to design systems that exploit these protocols well.
• Hands-on depth with one or more IdPs (Okta / Entra / Google Workspace / Auth0 / Zitadel), since day-to-day is implementing, designing, and integrating these platforms.
• Cloud identity depth — Azure service principals, AWS IAM — and a clear grasp of how those identities map to real infrastructure.
• The autonomy and urgency to own the identity domain end-to-end on a small, high-leverage team with minimal direction.
• What Will Set You Apart
• Fine-grained authorization at scale (ReBAC with OpenFGA / Zanzibar-style systems) built and run in production.
• Identity engineering for OT/manufacturing or other regulated, controlled environments.
• Large-scale passkey/FIDO2 or PAM (CyberArk/Teleport) rollouts, and secrets management with HashiCorp Vault.
• Experience building on a small, high-automation team where output-per-engineer is the measure; detection-engineering and ITAR-aware access design.

Benefits
