Company mission
To provide a robust, end-to-end solution that simplifies workflows, fosters collaboration, and seamlessly scales with the evolving needs of customers and partners.
Role
Who you are
- Proven engineering expertise: 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
- You've deployed on-premises before and understand the problems of air-gapped environments
- Technical sharpshooter: Your intellectual curiosity drives you to solve complex problems. You think in systems and see the big picture, yet you're all about nailing the details
- Dynamic leader & team player: With a mix of humility, eagerness to learn, and empathy, you're a natural at leading and lifting those around you. You don't just spot problems; you solve them
- Project maestro: You've got a solid track record in turning technical concepts into reality, and managing the full cycle from planning to deployment
- Ready to roll: Frequently traveling to spend time with end-users on-site (e.g. rocket test stands, spacecraft clean rooms, automated manufacturing facilities)
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS Clearance
Desirable
- Unix/Linux systems
- Kubernetes
- Minio/S3 Object Storage
- Postgres
- Grafana/Prometheus/Loki/Mimir observability stack
- Infrastructure as code
What the job involves
- 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: Lead the strategy to deploy 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
Our take
Whilst leading workflow platforms such as Monday and Basecamp are designed for general use, teams in more specific industries may benefit from experiences designed for their sector. Nominal has built a data analysis platform and workflow system tailored to the needs of engineering teams managing complex machines in industries such as aerospace and defense.
Nominal’s platform caters to engineering teams who develop, validate and monitor hardware, enabling them to build observability and control over mission-critical machines. It automates routine tasks and streamlines collaboration between team members, ensuring that all stages of a machine’s development have rigorous oversight.
Having only come out of stealth in 2024, Nominal’s path to market has been accelerated by several rounds of funding. This will be used to expand operations and business reach as it attempts to cut into a competitive market. With its target audience pitch well articulated, here’s to hoping the company can pull customers away from pre-existing, but more general, workflow and analysis platforms.
