About Nominal

Nominal is building the software infrastructure powering the world’s most advanced hardware systems — from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation industrial machines. Our platform ingests high-rate telemetry, validates complex autonomy software in real time, and enables engineers to iterate faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a small, fast-moving team of engineers and operators who own problems end-to-end, work across disciplines, and thrive on challenges at the intersection of hardware and software.

As an early team hire dedicated to information security (Security) and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), you’ll be responsible for working across the organization, developing and maturing various Security and GRC controls. You’ll also play a critical role in assisting Nominal to meet various authority to operate (ATO) initiatives. This may include tasks such as hardening Nominal’s software platform (both security and availability), deploying into secure environments, assisting with incident response, managing Nominal’s network, ensuring endpoint security, establishing baseline device configuration, guaranteeing technical compliance with information security standards, and more.
