Job description

Are you obsessed with building cloud-native platforms that enable engineers to operate at internet scale?

Then join us as our new Infrastructure Engineer and be part of defining the next generation of the Infrastructure platform at Hadrian!

Who are we:

We are Hadrian - an offensive cybersecurity startup. We are reshaping the future of cybersecurity through the power of agentic AI injected with the hacker’s perspective. Founded in August 2021, we've secured funding and the backing of ABN AMRO Ventures and Cherry Ventures, propelling us into a new era.

Our goal is to provide companies with an autonomous Threat Exposure Management platform. At Hadrian, we view security through a hacker's eyes because hackers understand hackers best. We continuously map the digital footprint of organisations, discover risks, and prioritise remediation for security teams to harden their external attack surfaces.

Located in Amsterdam's buzzing Leidseplein, by London's famous Paddington Station, and our most recent US HQ in the heart of New York City, our diverse team from 25+ countries is on a mission to shake things up in offensive security. Join us in making waves and securing over 700 businesses, and be at the forefront of automated offensive security.

Your role:

As an Infrastructure Engineer at Hadrian, you will design, build, and evolve the cloud-native platform that powers our offensive security operations. You will enable engineering teams to move faster, deploy safely, and operate reliably by creating scalable self-service infrastructure and resilient platform capabilities.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy combining deep infrastructure expertise with a strong software engineering mindset. We're looking for someone who thrives on automation, reliability, and platform design, and who sees infrastructure as a product that empowers others to do their best work.

If you enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges, building developer-friendly platforms, and creating the foundations that allow autonomous security systems to operate at scale, we would love to hear from you

What you will do as an Infrastructure Engineer at Hadrian:

• Help build and maintain the cloud-native platform that powers Hadrian's offensive security systems.
• Design and automate infrastructure delivery using Infrastructure-as-Code, enabling scalable and self-service platform capabilities.
• Manage and improve our Kubernetes environment, ensuring reliability, performance, and security.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to improve deployment workflows, developer experience, and platform adoption.
• Operate and optimize our core cloud infrastructure on AWS, while supporting our distributed scanning environments.
• Improve observability, monitoring, incident response, and platform reliability across critical systems.
• Help implement platform standards, security controls, and engineering best practices that enable teams to move quickly and safely.
• Take on a unique challenge. We’re building autonomous security systems that continuously analyze internet-scale attack surfaces. You'll help create the platform that makes this possible.

You are fit for this job because you:

• Have 3-5 years of experience as an Infrastructure Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, SRE, or similar role.
• Have hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform (/OpenTofu), and are comfortable operating cloud-native infrastructure in production environments.
• Are comfortable managing core environments on AWS while extending workloads into secondary cloud environments used for scanning.
• Have a solid foundation in systems engineering, containerization (Docker), and distributed systems.
• Are experienced with automation and CI/CD tooling, such as Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
• Enjoy building platforms, tooling, and automation that help engineering teams move faster and more safely.
• Possess strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, and enjoy solving reliability, scalability, and operational challenges.
• Use AI pragmatically to accelerate workflows while maintaining high standards of reliability and security.
• Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across technical teams.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with KNative, event-driven architectures, or service mesh technologies.
• Experience with Kafka or other distributed messaging systems.
• Hands‑on experience with observability and monitoring tooling.
• Familiarity with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices.
• Certifications related to Kubernetes such as CKA, CKAD, or AWS certifications.
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure or cloud-native projects.

Our Stack:

• KNative Serving & Eventing / Kafka / Redis
• Terraform / OpenTofu
• AWS / GCP / SCW (plus)

Benefits at Hadrian:

• Unlimited paid holiday
• Work-from-home budget

Make the internet safer:

We enable companies to protect their customers, employees, and other stakeholders from malicious hackers by providing real-time Exposure Management from the Hacker’s perspective

Board a primed rocket ship:

Hadrian is growing fast; the team is approaching 90 wonderful people, notable customers are signed, and significant funding is raised. Now is the time to join our high-growth journey

Be part of a strong and dynamic culture:

Our values define who we are as a group and serve as the cornerstones to guide us in building a product that our customers love. At Hadrian, we achieve this by championing a culture that takes ownership, succeeds together, increases velocity, and pursues growth

Why you want to be part of Hadrian:

Our clients are seeking a world-class and reliable digital security service. That is exactly what we are offering. Therefore, a background check will be part of the process.
