Job Description

Task Force Talent is seeking a Build & Infrastructure Engineer for a very well-funded early-stage company working on automated methods to build highly reliable, large-scale software systems. The key responsibilities in this role will be to design and implement robust infrastructure using NixOS and modern DevOps tools, manage cloud infrastructure with Terraform, develop and maintain build systems, and ensure reliable deployment pipelines.

The founding team at this client is exceptional: they have started and sold two prior companies, the last one to a top tech giant, and they have built systems that others said could not be built. They have assembled a team (~40-50) of incredibly talented, very high-end scientists and engineers who like to solve "impossible" problems. Morale at this company is very high, and so are the hiring standards. This company is looking for top engineers who can work with a team and enjoy what they do.

Target salary range is 120k to 250k+ plus equity, depending on experience level. (Note: At $170k base salary or above, generally candidates need at least 5+ years of experience and a very strong interview.)

All positions are full-time, in-office near Tysons Corner, VA, in the Virginia tech corridor. There is a small future possibility of work in the UK.

This company is completely private sector, no security clearance required. However, employment is open to U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (Green Card) only at this time. We are unable to sponsor visas. If you apply but this company is not a fit, we will consider you for other available positions as well.

Not your dream job, but perfect for a friend? You can submit a referral and get a check for $2000 or more: (Terms and conditions apply.)____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Qualification s

  • U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident
  • At least 3, ideally 5+ years experience
  • Strong background in computer science; this company is open to physicists/mathematicians but in our experience candidates typically need to have theoretical computer science foundations or significant coding experience to pass the technical interviews
  • Strong experience with Nix and NixOS
  • Expertise in infrastructure-as-code using Terraform
  • Experience with AWS Lambda and serverless architectures
  • Strong understanding of Linux systems administration
  • Experience with continuous integration and deployment pipelines
  • Knowledge of container technologies and orchestration
  • Experience with build system optimization and maintenance
  • Strong scripting skills and automation expertise
  • Understanding of security best practices in infrastructure
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools
  • Ability to debug complex system issues
  • Strong documentation and communication skills

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Interview Process

The process typically involves an initial phone screen, a technical coding interview (can be virtual), and several on-site interviews. Often part of the on-site interview is a technical presentation on a problem the candidate has solved or something the candidate has built, and the discussions will go from there. This company has genius-level engineers who like to get into the details!
