Deployment Systems Engineer

🚀 About the role

• Deploy & integrate: Take Nominal's tech from concept to operation on the ground, tailoring Nominal’s software platform to fit our clients' high-stakes environments perfectly. Collaborate with software engineers to design and implement the deployment of Nominal’s software to its first air-gapped on-premises environment.
• Take us from 1 to N: Contribute to the strategy of deploying Nominal on customer-owned cloud accounts, air-gapped physical data centers, hybrid environments, and other heterogeneous infrastructures.
• Innovate at the edge: Innovate at the cutting edge of data infrastructure, considering high frequency, high volume, streaming data with transformation and alerting capabilities. Implement and manage infrastructure as code to ensure efficient and repeatable deployments.
• Manage tradeoffs. Understand the tensions between effort vs value, short-term vs long-term growth, and any others that may arise.
• Solve & streamline: See an issue? You're on it, with the autonomy to fix problems fast and keep our technology ahead of the curve.

🔍 We're looking for someone with

• Proven engineering expertise or a strong learning drive: You've been in the trenches of software engineering, with firsthand experience developing, deploying, and monitoring infrastructure for high-scale distributed systems or complex tools.
