Backend Software Engineer

Hadrian — Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies make rockets, jets, and satellites 10x faster and 2x cheaper. Our CEO, Chris Power, discusses the importance of what we're building in this video.

We are a lean but mighty team (and growing!) people that are passionate about building critical infrastructure to support the nation and the advancement of humanity.

To support our ambitious vision, we have raised > $200M from Lux Capital, A16Z, Founders Fund, Construct Capital, Caffeinated Capital, and more.

Building Flow

As a foundational member of our software engineering team, you'll work closely with our product, operations, data, and robotics teams to make Flow, our FactoryOS, the factory platform of the future.

Flow is composed of a variety of internal and external critical business applications. Internally, we build software that informs, augments, and replaces work that needs to be done in the factory — for example, taking a customer request for parts, analyzing the complexity and cost, load balancing the work based on factory capacity, and returning a dynamic price quote and delivery estimate. Externally, our software helps our customers interface with Hadrian and manage their supply chain in real time.

Note: you do not need to have aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role

• Scope, architect, implement, and deploy critical applications that will drive revenue and make a positive impact in the world
• Write robust, reliable, and critical software to operate our factory
• Work directly with our internal and external customers to drive our roadmap
• Get to build alongside an incredible team of engineers, operators, and the best machinists/CAM programmers in the world

• Have extensive experience shipping modern, robust, reliable backend applications (our back-ends are in Go, Python, and Node)
• Are self-motivated and eager to get hands-on and tackle challenges independently while working collaboratively toward identified objectives
• Work with a hacker mentality – driven to find answers and solve problems even if it demands reverse engineering systems to get the most out of every feature
• Take responsibility and ownership finding solutions no matter what
• Deploy your broad experience and big picture view to fix undreamed of problems with innovative solutions
• Are excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high-stakes and quick iteration cycles
• Are a highly effective communicator when speaking or writing, especially when presenting technical information
• Can work from our Los Angeles Factory (Torrance)
