Working Here
Careers
We hire selectively for depth, judgment, and engineering discipline. Team growth follows operational need, not headcount targets.
Hiring Principles
- We hire selectively. We open roles only when there is a clear operational need and specific alignment.
- We value engineering discipline. Correctness, documentation, and long-term maintainability are baseline expectations.
- We do not scale teams unnecessarily. We keep teams small, focused, and accountable to outcomes.
Our Standards
What We Look For
We do not have a typical hiring profile. We do not optimize for candidates who can move fast and break things — we work in environments where breaking things has real consequences. What we look for are engineers and technical professionals who:
Take correctness seriously as a professional value, not just as a constraint imposed by clients.
Write documentation as a natural part of their work, not as an afterthought.
Think carefully about the operational lifetime of the systems they build, not just the immediate problem.
Communicate clearly about risks, constraints, and technical trade-offs — with clients and with colleagues.
Are genuinely interested in the domains in which we operate: infrastructure, reliability, logistics, compliance, and operational systems.
Working Style
How We Work
Small, focused teams
We do not scale engagement teams beyond what the work genuinely requires. Fewer, more capable people doing work that is well-understood.
Deep engagement context
Everyone who works on a project understands the operational environment, not just the technical requirements. Context is considered a prerequisite for good work.
Honest technical culture
We expect people to raise concerns early and directly. We do not value harmony over honesty. Technical disagreements are resolved by reasoning, not hierarchy.
Long-term focus
We think in operational years, not sprint cycles. The work we do today will need to be maintained and operated by someone years from now. That matters to us.
Open Positions
Current Openings
We are an early-stage company. These are the roles we are actively building toward — either now or in the near term as the company grows. We hire for fit and depth, not headcount.
Software Engineer — Atlas Platform
This is the first engineering hire. You will build, maintain, and extend Atlas — our operational management platform built on Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, and MySQL. The scope covers the full stack: data models, API routes, UI components, and deployment. You will work directly with the founder and own significant parts of the codebase from day one.
- —3+ years of full-stack experience; TypeScript and React required, Next.js strongly preferred
- —Comfortable working with relational databases and ORM layers (Prisma/MySQL or equivalent)
- —Self-directed — able to scope, estimate, and ship features without a defined sprint process
Security & Compliance Engineer
Own the security posture and compliance program for Atlas and the company's internal infrastructure. This covers CMMC Level 2 compliance (110 NIST SP 800-171 practices), web application security, SSP and POA&M documentation, and supporting client-facing assessments. On-site presence may be required for certain client engagements.
- —Experience with CMMC, NIST 800-171, or equivalent federal compliance frameworks
- —Background in web application security, secure configuration, and audit evidence management
- —U.S. citizen required; clearance adjudicable
Business Development Lead
This is the first commercial hire. You will identify, qualify, and develop new business opportunities for Atlas — primarily within defense, federal civilian, and critical infrastructure sectors. You will manage the full sales cycle, build relationships with decision-makers at target accounts, and work directly with the founder on strategy and positioning.
- —3+ years in B2B sales or business development; experience with long sales cycles and technical buyers required
- —Comfortable operating without a large support structure — you will build the process, not inherit one
- —U.S. citizen required; willing to travel for client meetings and industry events
Customer Implementation & Success Specialist
Own the onboarding, configuration, and ongoing success of Atlas deployments at client sites. You will work directly with customer teams to set up the platform, train users, and provide hands-on support during and after go-live. Travel to client sites is expected — this role requires presence, not just remote support tickets.
- —Background in technical implementation, customer success, or field engineering — comfort with software configuration required
- —Strong communication skills and ability to train non-technical users on operational software
- —U.S. citizen required; clearance adjudicable; willing to travel to client sites

Speculative Applications
If You Think You Belong Here
We accept speculative applications from engineers and technical professionals whose background aligns with our work. A speculative application is not a formal process — it is an introduction.
If you are considering submitting a speculative application, the most useful thing you can include is a clear description of the type of systems you have worked on, what you found technically interesting about them, and what kind of work you are looking for. We are not interested in polished cover letters. We are interested in honest professional context.
