The full posting

CX2 is a next-generation defense technology company securing spectrum dominance for the United States and its allies. CX2 builds AI-enabled hardware and software platforms to detect, disrupt, and defend the electromagnetic spectrum across land, air, sea, and space. Headquartered in El Segundo, California, CX2 develops technology designed to give warfighters the ability to see, understand, and act across the invisible battlefield.


Role Summary 

CX2 is seeking an experienced Software Infrastructure Engineer specializing in cybersecurity to harden the infrastructure that lets CX2 detect, disrupt, and defend the electromagnetic spectrum.

You will own the security of our edge and hybrid cloud infrastructure from end to end. That means how devices are provisioned, how secrets are issued and rotated, and how systems are locked down, monitored, and accredited. All of it has to hold up in disrupted, degraded, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) network conditions. Your work ensures that CX2’s sensor and effector systems, and the platform that orchestrates them, can be trusted on any battlefield.

As a key member of CX2’s foundational engineering team, you will shape our security architecture, strengthen our engineering culture, and help deliver powerful electromagnetic warfare capabilities.
