Dirac is building BuildOS, a creative suite for manufacturing engineering that consolidates fragmented workflows (process plans, MBOMs, routings, work instructions, spreadsheets, PLM, ERP) into a single environment. The company is pioneering Model-Based Manufacturing to help American manufacturers move faster and build better through context-aware production planning and real-time design-manufacturing integration.
As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will own critical systems—designing, building, and scaling infrastructure that powers the platform. You'll work directly with manufacturers to ensure our tools solve real problems in production environments. Operating in high-agency mode, you'll identify and complete work that needs doing, taking ownership of reliability, performance, and operational excellence.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design, build, and scale critical infrastructure systems
- Collaborate with manufacturers to validate that systems meet real-world production needs
- Proactively identify and resolve reliability and performance issues
- Debug and troubleshoot complex issues, digging deeper to find root causes
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code and deployment automation
- Support security operations and compliance frameworks relevant to manufacturing
This is a fully in-person role at the NYC office. The company emphasizes high trust, high agency, and high autonomy, with a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
**Requirements:**

- Mindset of continuous learning and improvement; belief that past work can always be rebuilt better
- Ability to identify, design, and complete work proactively without being assigned
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills; ability to take reported information at face value while digging for root causes
- Knowledge of a programming, scripting, or configuration language
- Knowledge of modern container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.)
- Understanding of networking, DNS, and routing fundamentals (IP, CIDR, VPN, etc.)
- Ability to figure out IT, SSO, MDM functions, apps, and integrations
**Nice to Have:**
- Background in manufacturing, aerospace, or industrial software
- Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Finance, Operations, Legal, etc.
- Familiarity with Terragrunt, Tofu, Terraform, or similar Infrastructure-as-Code tools
- Experience with security operations (Cookies, CSRF, CSP) and/or compliance frameworks (ISO, CMMC)
- General understanding of databases (SQL, NoSQL, Cache, Blob, Memory)
- Knowledge of RBAC, OAuth, JWT, and related authentication/authorization concepts
