Long wait times, overworked staff, and outdated infrastructure have compromised reliable access to essential medications. We are addressing these challenges today. We are a stealth-mode physical AI company working on a robotic pharmacy product. We are not just conceptualizing the pharmacy of the future; we are building it now. About the Role This is a foundational hire. You own the infrastructure that a pharmacy robot fleet runs on — and you set the standard for how infrastructure is built. Engineers write application code; you make sure it deploys reliably, scales correctly, stays secure, and is observable in production. You don't write dispense logic. You own the platform it runs on: Terraform, CI/CD, deployment automation, security scanning, observability, certificate management, and the production environment that must pass a mandated penetration test. You write code to solve infrastructure problems, not just configure tools. What You'll Own Infrastructure as code — Terraform modules, multi-environment strategy (dev, staging, production), production hardening CI/CD — Build, test, scan, and deploy pipelines for Rust and TypeScript services Deployment automation — Reliable deploys in minutes. Docker builds. Blue/green or rolling deployments Observability — Dashboards, alerting, structured logging, health endpoints, SLO monitoring Security — Dependency auditing, vulnerability scanning, secret detection, image scanning, certificate management (X.509, mTLS) Device updates — OTA software update pipeline with staged rollout across pharmacy locations Cost management — Right-sizing, budget alerts, utilization targets First 90 Days Day 30: Understand the existing infrastructure. Deploys are reliable. Security scanning enabled in CI. First monitoring dashboard operational. Day 60: Security hardening complete. CI/CD extended with full scanning. Alerting configured with escalation paths. Cost assessment delivered. Day 90: Production environment ready for pilot. Pen test prep done. OTA pipeline prototyped. Every service has a health dashboard, alerts, and a runbook. Required Qualifications and Experiences 3+ years Terraform / IaC
