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. 

 

About the Role

~1 min read
  • Own physical construction and accreditation requirements for defense Galleons, including SCIFs and SAPFs under ICD 705 and the ICS 705 Technical Specifications, SAPFs under DoDM 5205.07, and collateral open-storage, closed, and discussion areas under 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM). 
  • Translate those standards into design criteria, drawing notes, BOM constraints, and factory work instructions that hardware, mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams can build to. 
  • Lead security design reviews across the Galleon family. Read and redline architectural, structural, electrical, and low-voltage drawings against ICD 705, TEMPEST, and NISPOM. 
  • Define perimeter, access-control, intrusion-detection, and video requirements for secure configurations, including door, lock, and wall assemblies, STC and acoustic performance, and inspectable materials. 
  • Own TEMPEST and emissions-security design input. Set red/black separation, shielding, filtering, grounding, and penetration criteria, and coordinate countermeasure reviews with customer TEMPEST authorities. 
  • Specify Protected Distribution Systems where a Galleon or site requires them and inspect against the applicable CNSSI standard. 
  • Build a repeatable secure-Galleon configuration so accreditation is a productized path, not a one-off for every build. 
  • Serve as Armada’s liaison to Accrediting Officials, Special Security Officers, Facility Security Officers, DCSA Industrial Security Representatives, and customer security staff. 
  • Author and maintain Construction Security Plans, Fixed Facility Checklists, inspectable-materials lists, TEMPEST questionnaires, and accreditation submittals. 
  • Plan and run construction surveillance, site inspections, and quality assurance on factory, integration, and customer-site work. Hold general contractors, integrators, and internal build teams to the CSP. 
  • Drive accreditation from design approval through inspection, remediation, and operational accreditation. Own the punch list. 
  • Support capture and proposal teams on DD-254, contract security classification specifications, and physical-security volumes so bids do not promise a configuration that cannot be accredited. 
  • Own the security workstream on defense Galleon programs. Set milestones, dependencies, and risks against hardware design, factory slot, shipment, and customer required-accreditation dates. 
  • Partner with Large Form Factor and Edge Hardware leads, deployment, logistics, and federal mission teams so security requirements are in the design before steel is cut. 
  • Stand up the operating rhythm for classified builds: design gates, inspection hold points, documentation control, and lessons learned into the next hull. 
  • Author and maintain Armada's internal physical-security policies and standards for classified builds, and mentor engineering, manufacturing, and deployment teams so secure-build expertise scales across the company. 

 

Requirements

~2 min read
  • 10+ years in Business Systems, Enterprise Applications, or related roles with increasing scope. 
  • Platform-agnostic technical fluency in how enterprise systems work: relational database structures, data flows, API and webhook integration patterns, static vs. dynamic configuration, and how upstream changes propagate downstream. The right candidate can describe any enterprise system — regardless of whether they’ve used it before — in terms of its underlying data model and CRUD operations. 
  • Ability to read (not necessarily write) JavaScript and Apex code: you need to understand what custom logic is doing and assess compatibility with proposed changes, not just know it exists. 
  • Demonstrated experience owning and scaling core systems for G&A and/or Finance functions. 
  • Solid integration and data fluency: APIs, iPaaS tools (e.g., Workato, Boomi, MuleSoft), data quality concepts, and reporting infrastructure. 
  • Strong change management instincts: you bring stakeholders along, drive adoption, and create durable operating habits. 
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management — able to translate between business outcomes and technical implementation, facilitate cross-functional trade-off conversations, and influence without authority. 
  • Genuine enthusiasm for and working knowledge of AI/LLM tooling — and a track record of helping teams actually adopt new tools, not just deploy them. 

 

  • Experience designing or implementing enterprise AI enablement programs (tool stack, training, workflow redesign). 
  • Familiarity with GTM tooling (CRM, CPQ, forecasting) and/or R&D/engineering systems at a level sufficient to establish standards and ensure interoperability. 
  • Experience with revenue workflows and controls (billing, collections, revenue recognition concepts). 
  • Comfort prototyping or validating logic using SQL and/or scripting, or deep partnership with technical teams to do so. 
  • Experience implementing security and compliance controls across business systems (audit readiness, access governance). 
  • Relevant certifications (nice-to-have): NetSuite, Workday, Rippling, iPaaS platform certs. 

 

For U.S. Based candidates: To ensure fairness and transparency, the starting base salary range for this role for candidates in the U.S. are listed, varying based on location experience, skills, and qualifications.  In addition to base salary, this role will also be offered equity and subsidized benefits (details available upon request).

We use a geographic pay structure based on cost-of-labor markets. 

  • Tier 1 (e.g., SF Bay Area, NYC, Seattle): $187,500 - $234,370
  • Tier 2 (most U.S. metro areas): $163,040 - $203,800
  • Tier 3 (other cities): $154,890 - $193,610

Final compensation will be determined by experience, scope, and level, and may vary from the posted range.
