armada · United States (Remote) · California, United States

<div class="content-intro">About the Company <div class="x_x_Paragraph x_x_SCXW198602660 x_x_BCX0"> Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense.  With nearly $500 million in funding to date, Armada is backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Lux, BlackRock and Microsoft (M12), alongside strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio. We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud. Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.  </div>  </div>About the Role   Armada is seeking an Infrastructure Lead to own day-to-day Department of Defense (DoD)/Department of War (DoW) infrastructure workstreams and to serve as a primary technical voice on federal capture. This is a senior individual contributor role. You will not manage a team on day one. You will influence product, manufacturing, deployment, capture, and customer stakeholders across every DoD/DoW opportunity and awarded program you touch.  The role is split evenly between capture and delivery. On the capture side, you engage defense and government customers, shape technical responses to RFIs and RFPs, and translate mission and installation requirements into solution architectures Armada can actually build and field. On the delivery side, you drive Statement of Work (SOW) execution from award through site readiness, production, deployment, integration, and handover with accountability for schedule, technical performance, risk, and change control.  You will work across Armada's Federal infrastructure portfolio, including Galleon ruggedized Modular Data Centers (MDCs), Leviathan megawatt-scale AI-factory form factors, and the Armada Platform. The work sits at the intersection of hardware, power and cooling, connectivity, secure edge software, and the compliance regimes that govern warfighter and installation environments: disconnected operations, classified and air-gapped workloads, zero trust, and Authority to Operate.  This is a hands-on, high-expectation role in a fast-growing, mission-critical environment. You will determine your own methods on new assignments, exercise judgment across ambiguous and sensitive requirements, and make decisions with imperfect information. You are the person who makes sure what we propose to the Department can be manufactured, transported, installed, commissioned, and sustained.   <div> Location.
