• Track record of shipping scalable, secure production systems
• Strong architectural instincts and a bias toward clarity, simplicity, and performance
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams
• Authorized to work in the U.S. and based in the United States
  
  

Preferred (Not Required)

• Experience with HPC, HTC, or low-latency infrastructure
• Familiarity with ISO-compliant or NIST-informed security practices
• Background in startups, research labs, or environments where precision and scale meet
• Based in or near a major tech hub (e.g., Boston, Bay Area, Pittsburgh, Austin, Seattle, NYC)
