About The Position

Rainmaker is hiring a Software Engineer to own production infrastructure and security. The role covers cloud infrastructure, deployments, observability, identity and access, secrets, vulnerability management, incident response, and recovery. The engineer will build remote systems designed to operate 24/7 and accommodate lost communications.

The position owns production infrastructure end to end, establishing standards for deploying, monitoring, and recovering services. It also builds and maintains CI/CD pipelines and test infrastructure that support rapid agentic development, balancing rigor and security with engineering velocity. The role works across software, science, aircraft engineering, and field operations.

Success means developing an understanding of Rainmaker’s critical systems, data flows, access model, and major operational and security risks, then shipping at least one material improvement. Within the first year, critical services should become easier to deploy, observe, secure, and recover, while software capabilities scale with less operational effort. The role requires relocation to El Segundo, California.

Requirements

• Experience building and operating production systems and production infrastructure.
• Deep familiarity with AWS and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Pulumi or Terraform.

• Experience designing or maintaining zero-trust, WireGuard-based networks; Rainmaker runs almost everything on Tailscale.
• Willingness to relocate to El Segundo, California.
• Evidence of exceptional ability; shipped work is valued more than degree or years in the industry.
• Fast, thoughtful, autonomous, and opinionated approach to work.
