Scout AI is a frontier lab for defense that builds AI models and autonomy software to operate and command military assets.
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The future of defense will be decided by those who field intelligent machines at scale. At Scout AI, we're developing Fury, the first robotic foundation model for defense, to give U.S. forces overwhelming, adaptable, and autonomous power across every domain. Fury enables human operators to command fleets of robots through natural language, and empowers those machines to sense, decide, and act together as one. This mission will ask everything of us: urgency, precision, and relentless work.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>The Role</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Scout AI is seeking a Senior IT Infrastructure & Security Engineer to design, build, and operate a secure network and infrastructure that protects CUI data and maintains CMMC Level 2 compliance. You'll be our first dedicated networking hire, owning the entire stack from network architecture and data segmentation to device management and IT operations.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Your primary focus is building a secure, compliant network foundation. You'll design network architecture that protects sensitive data, implement CMMC Level 2 controls, and automate operations (device provisioning, monitoring, deployments).</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">This role combines network design, infrastructure-as-code, IT operations, and compliance. You'll own network segmentation and data flows, build compliant infrastructure on AWS/Azure, manage company devices and access control, automate operational tasks with code, and maintain systems when things break.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Design and implement secure network architecture that protects CUI and enforces network segmentation per NIST SP 800-171</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build and maintain CMMC-compliant infrastructure: access controls, encryption, monitoring, and audit logging</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Develop and maintain Scout's System Security Plan</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Implement network hardening, intrusion detection, and threat monitoring; manage firewall rules and VPNs</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Architect, deploy, and operate cloud and on-premises infrastructure supporting all Scout operations</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Provision and manage employee devices; maintain OS patches, software updates, and hardware refresh cycles</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Design and roll out identity management with automated provisioning</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Provide hands-on support for employee IT issues and help desk ticket triage</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build infrastructure-as-code solutions to automate provisioning, configuration, and scaling</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Develop Python/Bash scripts to automate operational tasks and compliance validation</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Establish infrastructure monitoring, logging, and alerting as repeatable, auditable code</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Design and implement automated backup procedures and disaster recovery plans</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Respond to outages and security incidents; conduct root-cause analysis and remediation</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Coordinate with compliance team on CMMC requirements, audit preparation, and policy implementation</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Qualifications</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">7+ years hands-on network and infrastructure engineering in enterprise or defense environments</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">CMMC and/or NIST SP 800-171 implementation</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Infrastructure-as-code proficiency</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Linux and Windows system administration; comfort with multiple operating systems</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Python or Bash scripting; automation-first mindset</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Deep understanding of network segmentation, access control, encryption, and compliance-driven architecture</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Experience with identity and access management</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Strong documentation discipline and meticulous attention to detail</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Excellent communication skills; ability to explain technical decisions to both technical and no
