Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Are you obsessed with building cloud-native platforms that enable engineers to operate at internet scale? Then join us as our new Senior Infrastructure Engineer and be part of defining the next generation of the Infrastructure platform at Hadrian ! Who are we: We are Hadrian

• an offensive cybersecurity startup. We are reshaping the future of cybersecurity through the power of agentic AI injected with the hacker’s perspective. Founded in August 2021, we've secured funding and the backing of ABN AMRO Ventures and Cherry Ventures, propelling us into a new era.

Our goal is to provide companies with an autonomous Threat Exposure Management platform. At Hadrian, we view security through a hacker's eyes because hackers understand hackers best. We continuously map the digital footprint of organisations, discover risks, and prioritise remediation for security teams to harden their external attack surfaces.

Located in Amsterdam 's buzzing Leidseplein, by London 's famous Paddington Station, and our most recent US HQ in the heart of New York City , our diverse team from 25+ countries is on a mission to shake things up in offensive security. Join us in making waves and securing over 700 businesses, and be at the forefront of automated offensive security.

Your role: As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Hadrian, you will design, build, and evolve the cloud-native platform that powers our offensive security operations. You will enable engineering teams to move faster, deploy safely, and operate reliably by creating scalable self-service infrastructure and resilient platform capabilities.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy combining deep infrastructure expertise with a strong software engineering mindset. We're looking for someone who thrives on automation, reliability, and platform design, and who sees infrastructure as a product that empowers others to do their best work.

If you enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges, building developer-friendly platforms, and creating the foundations that allow autonomous security systems to operate at scale, we would love to hear from you
