Infrastructure Engineer

📋 Job Overview

Foundry Robotics is building an AI-native robotics manufacturing company focused on deploying advanced assembly and production capability for leading robotics companies and national-security-critical hardware. Basically, we’re building robots that build robots.

🏢 About Foundry Robotics

Factory OS is building software that runs factories. Our platform spans cloud backends, on-prem services, and edge devices deployed on the factory floor. The operators, supervisors, and managers who use our tools need interfaces that are fast, reliable, and intuitive—even when network conditions aren’t perfect and the environment is demanding.

🎯 The Role

You will work on the infrastructure that our services, our factory-floor software, and our ML training run on: AWS, Kubernetes, the network boundary between them, the deployment pipeline, GPU workload scheduling, and the monitoring that tells us when something is wrong.

This is a unique position with huge scope, spanning traditional containerized software platforms, as well as robotics, networking and AI infrastructure. Unlike an internet company, you will work on capabilities that support real hardware, and unlike traditional robotics, this platform also orchestrates the manufacturing process and the continued operation of the robots themselves.

It is a small team with a lot of surface area. Expect to move between infrastructure as code, cluster operations, GPU scheduling, and edge-device support in the same week.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Run production infrastructure with hands-on Kubernetes
• Work with Terraform and GitOps for infrastructure CI/CD
• Manage networking fundamentals including VPCs, routing, VPN, DNS, TLS, and overlay networks
• Develop tooling and glue in Go or Python
• Operate an observability stack and make alerts trustworthy
• Maintain security-minded practices including least-privilege access and catching committed credentials

📌 Required Qualifications

• 3+ years running production infrastructure with hands-on Kubernetes
• Fluent in Terraform and GitOps
• Solid networking fundamentals: VPCs, routing, VPN, DNS, TLS, overlay networks
• Comfortable in Go or Python for tooling and glue
• Experience operating an observability stack
• Security-minded by default: least-privilege access, no public endpoints, secrets from config

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience running Kubernetes on-prem
• Edge or fleet experience: arm64 Linux devices, over-the-air rollout, offline-tolerant design
• WireGuard-based overlay networks at organization scale
• Time spent near robots or industrial hardware
• Experience in an ITAR or CMMC environment
