About Nominal

Nominal is a venture-backed company with offices in Los Angeles, Austin, and New York City. We’re focused on building software and data solutions for organizations that test and validate complex systems—think drones, rocket engines, satellites, and nuclear reactors. Supported by leading investors like General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and more, we’re gaining strong traction in the commercial and government aerospace and defense industrial base, including working directly with the Department of Defense.


Our team includes engineers and operators from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Lockheed Martin, and NASA, all working toward a common goal: making it faster and easier for hardware engineers to push the boundaries of advanced technology safely and efficiently. Our platform helps engineering teams accelerate test data review and analysis, scaling testing campaigns to save time and cut costs.

🚀 About the role

  • Empower engineering velocity: Ensure our growing engineering team can move quickly and safely by building and improving our DevOps and cloud infrastructure systems. You’ll focus on cloud infrastructure while having the flexibility to contribute to on-prem deployment systems or traditional software engineering.
  • Optimize and scale: Own the systems for deploying and managing cloud infrastructure, refining our CI/CD pipelines, and improving developer experience. Your work will directly enhance developer environment consistency, accelerate build times, and simplify service bootstrapping.
  • 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.

🔎 We’re looking for someone with

  • Proven engineering expertise: You’ve been in the trenches of software engineering (minimum of 4+ YOE), with firsthand experience developing, deploying, and monitoring infrastructure for high-scale distributed systems or complex tools.
  • 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.

⚡ Skills that supercharge us

  • AWS cloud infrastructure (required), Azure (nice-to-have).
  • Kubernetes: Deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting applications.
  • CI/CD: Designing and building pipelines with GitHub Actions or similar.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Crossplane, Terraform, or similar.
  • Observability: Datadog, Prometheus (metrics collection, dashboarding, alerting).
  • Scripting and development: Bash, Python, and/or Go

✨ Benefits/Perks

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with 100% of premiums covered
  • Unlimited PTO /sick leave
  • Free lunch, snacks, and coffee
  • Professional development stipend
