About Ironflow AI
About Ironflow AI
Our mission is simple: to build software to help people build extraordinary things.
We are building an AI-native ERP for aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing. Purchasing, inventory, planning, manufacturing, finance, and accounting: the core systems that determine whether companies can actually build and deliver.
Much of the industrial base still runs on software architectures designed decades ago. We think that is now a strategic problem.
Our mission is bigger than better software. If the United States and its allies need to build more ships, aircraft, missiles, drones, engines, satellites, and everything behind them, the companies doing that work need radically better systems.
We are building Ironflow around five values that define how we work: hard work, excellence, kindness, creativity, and teamwork. We put in the effort and follow through. We take pride in our work and keep raising the bar. We treat people with care and respect. We explore possibilities and find better ways. And we help each other succeed while taking responsibility for the shared outcome.
We are veterans, engineers, and operators who have lived the limitations of legacy systems firsthand. We are building the software we wish existed.
Why This Role Matters
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Infrastructure who is excited about building and scaling the platform that powers our product. You'll own the reliability, performance, and security of our infrastructure while working closely with product engineers to ship features faster.
This is a high-ownership role at an early-stage company. The role has broad scope by design: you'll own the full infrastructure surface, from cluster operations to developer experience. We operate on AWS GovCloud in an environment purpose-built for ITAR and CUI compliance, which means the infrastructure decisions you make carry real regulatory weight. You won't be maintaining someone else's platform: you'll be the person who built it. If you want broad ownership, a direct line to product impact, and the technical challenge of building compliance-grade infrastructure from scratch, this role is for you.
