Sr. Infrastructure Engineer at New Iron

Job Description

Senior Infrastructure Engineer

New Iron is hiring a senior infrastructure engineer in Austin, TX to own the environments used to build, test, release, and demo a data product for space and critical infrastructure work. You will set the patterns for internal development, QA, release candidate, and demonstration systems. 

This is a hybrid position (at least 2x a week onsite) for local candidates in the area. 

This is not a production support role. You provide reference designs, packages, and handoffs.

What you’ll do

• Stand up dependable dev, QA, release candidate, and demo environments, with repeatable provision and teardown


• Write and maintain infrastructure as code, environment definitions, and promotion workflows across those stages


• Control how images and packages move between environments, including versioning, signing, scanning, and retention


• Add secrets, least-privilege access, audit, logs, metrics, and alerts, and drive fixes when internal or demo systems fail


• Produce offline install patterns, mirrored registries, and upgrade or rollback steps for disconnected deployments, and keep runbooks and handoff material current

What we need

• 7+ years in infrastructure, platform, SRE, DevOps, or cloud engineering, as a senior individual contributor


• Infrastructure as code with reusable modules, state handling, review, and tested promotion


• Linux, container orchestration, cloud or virtualized infrastructure, and hands-on troubleshooting


• Practical supply-chain and access security: scanning, secrets, certificates, and remediation


• Observability and incident follow-through on shared platform services such as storage, databases, workers, and messaging

U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a security clearance required.
