Site Reliability Engineer

$100,000 – $125,000 per year

TLDR

Own, design, and scale critical systems while collaborating with manufacturers to solve real problems, operating with high autonomy and a culture of trust and accountability.

About the Company

Dirac is on a mission to reindustrialize The West. American manufacturing is broken—burdened by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated processes. We are pioneering Model-Based Manufacturing, where context-aware production planning informs design in real-time—eliminating the disconnect between engineering and manufacturing. Our platform automates what can be automated and captures tribal knowledge where automation falls short, creating a seamless system for building at scale. We're building the tools modern manufacturers need to move faster and build better, the pillars of a more abundant future.

We are a mission-driven company of world-class engineers and operators with a culture of high trust, high agency, and high autonomy.

How You Will Contribute:

  • Own critical systems—design, build, and scale them.
  • Work directly with manufacturers to ensure our tools solve real problems.
  • Operate in high-agency mode—if it needs doing, you do it.

Requirements:

  • You’ve built something - a project, an assignment, something physical, an open source library - and you can explain it conversationally.
  • You want to learn - and build, and re-learn and re-build. You believe your best work from 6 months ago is mediocre now and want to build it all again.
  • You find, design, build and complete work that no one brought to you - because you recognize the need for the work to be done, and done well.
  • You know how to debug and troubleshoot issues while taking reported information at face value - digging deeper to find the root cause.
  • You have knowledge of a programming, scripting or configuration language.
  • You have knowledge of modern container technologies like Kubernetes, Docker, etc.
  • You understand Networking, DNS, and Routing foundations (IP, CIDR, VPN, etc.)
  • You can figure out IT, SSO, MDM functions, apps, and integrations.

Nice to Have:

  • Background in manufacturing, aerospace, or industrial software.
  • Familiarity with working with teams org wide (Engineering, Product, Finance, Operations, Legal, etc.)
  • Familiarity with Terragrunt, Tofu, Terraform or similar tools for IaC collaboration.
  • Experience with Security operations (Cookies, CSRF, CSP, etc.) and/or Compliance Frameworks (ISO, CMMC, etc.)
  • You have a general understanding of databases (SQL, NoSQL, Cache, Blob, Memory, etc.).
  • You know what RBAC, OAuth, JWT, etc. is.
