DevSecOps Engineer

Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!

The Role

You will ship secure code at startup speed. As our DevSecOps Engineer, you'll build security directly into our development pipeline-making the secure path the easy path. You'll architect relationship-based authorization with SpiceDB / Zanzibar, configure Envoy gateways with sophisticated auth policies, implement JWT-based authentication, and secure our Kubernetes infrastructure with network policies and admission controls. You'll implement scanning that catches vulnerabilities before production, create policies that enforce standards automatically, and secure our supply chain from code to deployment. This isn't about gates and approvals; it's about engineering security solutions that accelerate safe delivery. You'll work at the intersection of development, operations, and security, building tools that protect without slowing down our factory automation mission.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement SpiceDB / Zanzibar for relationship-based authorization.
• Configure Envoy gateway with external authorization and rate limiting.
• Implement JWT authentication and token validation systems.
• Build RBAC / ABAC / ReBAC authorization frameworks.
• Configure Kubernetes RBAC, service accounts, and network policies.
• Design API gateway security policies and WASM filters.
• Design and implement SAST / DAST / SCA pipelines in CI / CD.
• Build policy-as-code frameworks using OPA / Kyverno.
• Implement software supply chain security (signing, SBOM, provenance).
• Create automated security testing for APIs and microservices.
• Design threat models and security architecture reviews.
• Build security monitoring and alerting dashboards.
• Automate vulnerability management and patching workflows.
• Implement secrets management and rotation systems.
• Secure container images and Kubernetes deployments.
• Create security guardrails in Terraform modules.
• Build runtime security monitoring with Falco / eBPF.
• Develop security training and documentation for developers.
• Automate compliance scanning and reporting.
• Lead security incident response and post-mortems.
• Design zero-trust networking implementations.
• Integrate security tools into developer workflows.
• Create security metrics and KPI tracking.
