## Job description

## About Nomic

Nomic is the domain-specific AI platform for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. We help enterprise teams extract structured knowledge from decades of drawings, specs, and project files — combining embedding models, document parsing, and autonomous agents that reason over real-world data and take action in live environments.

## The Role

Nomic is hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to own our infrastructure stack — multi-account AWS, Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD — and the systems that make our agents run well in production: orchestrating rollouts across customer environments, keeping inference fast and reliable, and maintaining industry-leading performance as we scale. We're already deployed across dozens of companies on three continents, delivering value in production today, and we train and deploy our own models. Your job will be to scale that footprint up dramatically — more customers, more environments, more inference — without performance or reliability slipping as we grow. This is a senior IC role with broad ownership and real architectural influence. You'll have a wide surface area and the autonomy to shape it.

## What You'll Own

Rollout and deployment. Orchestrating how our agents and services roll out across many customer cloud environments: deployment strategies, per-customer configuration, automated health checks, and the monitoring that catches problems before customers do. Inference and performance. Keeping model inference fast, reliable, and cost-effective at scale — serving infrastructure, GPU workloads, and the performance work that keeps agents responsive as volume grows. Core infrastructure. Kubernetes, multi-account AWS, CI/CD, observability (traces, metrics, logs, alerting, SLOs), disaster recovery, and cost management. Security posture. Access controls, secrets management, network security, image scanning, dependency auditing, and compliance work (SOC 2, enterprise security) as customer requirements demand. Infrastructure as code. Defining, provisioning, and evolving all infrastructure through code — designing modules, managing state, and thinking hard about blast radius.

## About You

Required

- 5+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles running cloud infrastructure in production
- Strong Kubernetes experience — deploying workloads, debugging real issues, working with operators and controllers
- Solid infrastructure-as-code skills — designing modules, managing state, reasoning about blast radius
- Strong software engineering fundamentals — you write and review production code in Python and/or TypeScript, not just infra configs
- Linux systems and networking fundamentals
- CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance
- A proactive orientation and genuine comfort owning a wide surface area

## Preferred

- Terraform experience
- Observability platforms (Datadog, OpenTelemetry) — dashboards, trace/metric/log pipelines
- PostgreSQL operations — performance tuning, replica management
- ML/AI infrastructure — inference services, GPU workloads, model serving, eval pipelines
- Multi-tenant deployment patterns or per-customer isolation
- Experience building sandboxed execution environments or automated reliability systems

## What We Offer

- Competitive base salary and performance-based compensation
- Equity participation
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Flexible PTO
- Hybrid NYC model preferred, remote considered for the right person
- A senior role with broad ownership — the infrastructure decisions you make define how reliably Nomic runs and scales in the field

## About Deploy Talent

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Deploy Talent is a boutique executive search and technical recruiting firm that embeds with early-stage AI and deep tech companies to hire the people no one else can reach.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped)
- **Headquarters**: Newport Beach, California, United States (with offices in New York, San Francisco, and London)
- **Founded**: 2023 (originally launched as PLVCK, rebranded to Deploy in April 2025)
- **Founders**: Estephania (Steph) Stopani (CEO, Co-Founder) and Eric McLintock (COO, Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Executive Search Services, Technical Recruiting, Talent Acquisition
- **Target customers**: Pre-seed to Series B+ technology companies, particularly in AI, deep tech, and robotics; also works with venture capital firms who fund searches for their portfolio companies.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “The recruiters founders actually call.” Deploy Talent positions itself as talent infrastructure for early-stage AI and deep tech, operating on a model where recruiters have personally hired at the level they recruit for.

## Products & Services
- **The Container Model**: A fixed monthly retainer that secures a defined block of recruiting capacity (typically 1–3 active roles at a time). Includes dedicated lead recruiter + sourcing support, weekly syncs with hiring managers, and the ability to flex roles within the engagement. On top of the retainer, a placement fee is paid per successful hire. Engagements are offered in 3, 6, or 12-month durations.
- **Embedded Recruiting**: Recruiters attend client standups, meet hiring managers weekly, see the roadmap, and adjust scope as priorities change without renegotiating fees.
- **Venture Fund Partnerships**: Deploy Talent works with lead investors who fund the Container retainer as part of their post-investment platform support, or with portfolio companies directly.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (privately held, bootstrapped).
- **Key Metric**: Total headcount of 13 employees; LinkedIn followers of 1,230 (monthly growth of +5.6%).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: The firm is bootstrapped. Client/partner names are not fully disclosed, but the firm has placed talent at companies including Ocean Advisor, Genesis AI (a global physical AI lab), and Rovi Health.
- **Growth Signals**: Rebranded from PLVCK to Deploy in April 2025; operates four offices (Newport Beach HQ, New York, San Francisco, London); actively hiring with 1 open job posting as of the latest data; talent sources include Anthropic, Tenstorrent, Waymo, Applied Intuition, and Aquabyte.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founder-led, boutique model**: Both co-founders are hands-on recruiters who have personally hired at the level they recruit for. The team is intentionally small (13 people) and senior (38% senior-level staff).
- **The Container model**: A retainer + placement fee structure that aligns incentives — the firm is paid for capacity and outcomes, not just activity. This is distinct from contingency or pure retained search.
- **Embedded approach**: Recruiters attend client standups and see the roadmap, allowing them to find candidates who fit not just a job description but the evolving needs of a startup.
- **Deep tech specialization**: Focused exclusively on early-stage AI, deep tech, and robotics companies, giving them a narrow but deep network in a high-demand market.
- **Alumni network**: Alumni have gone to Nominal, Aurora, and Hotplate, indicating a strong track record of placing talent into high-growth companies.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Scaling the Container model with more early-stage AI and deep tech clients; expanding their footprint in the US and UK (London office); building out their own team by hiring recruiters who can operate with the same embedded, senior-level approach.
- **Direction for growth**: Deploy Talent is actively hiring recruiters (as announced in September 2025) to keep up with demand from “some of the fastest growing, game-changing AI companies.” The firm is also deepening its partnerships with venture capital firms to fund placements for portfolio companies.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: The team is described as “small” and “senior,” with every team member having been an early hire somewhere. The firm emphasizes that recruiters are embedded with founders by background, not by job description. The culture appears to be high-autonomy, high-trust, and founder-centric.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: The open position (Commercial Litigation Attorney) is listed as “Hybrid,” suggesting a flexible work model. The firm has physical offices in New York, San Francisco, Newport Beach, and London.
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Deploy Talent’s own team is built from people who have worked at companies like Anthropic, Tenstorrent, Waymo, and Applied Intuition. The firm’s recruiting team is heavy on engineering and technical hiring (roles include Full-Stack & Backend Engineering, Technical Recruiting). The firm’s approach is designed to appeal to recruiters who want to work deeply with startup founders rather than operate as transactional headhunters.
