Research Infra Engineer

Description

Every nation has data. Few can protect it. Fewer still can act on it.

Dream is the sovereign AI and national cyber-defense company for governments.

We help nations secure their most critical systems, connect fragmented information at a national scale, and turn their most sensitive data into decisions, all fully sovereign.

This is more than a job. It's a Dream job, where you'll work at a global scale alongside some of the best AI researchers, cyber operators, and government experts in the world.

We defend nations against the most advanced threats in the world with a national security suite that offers AI-native resilience against APTs with visibility, insights and mediation across Posture, CTI, and Detection & Response, all fully sovereign.

The Dream Job

As a Research Infra Engineer, you will build and operate the shared platforms that power DREAM’s cyber research: data ingestion, connectivity to internal/external systems, scalable analysis environments, and self-serve tools which allow the team moving faster.

You’ll partner closely with CyberAI researchers to translate research needs into reliable, secure, cloud-deployed capabilities used across the group. Your goals are to reduces “research-toil,” improves reproducibility and code quality, and accelerates the path from prototype to shared capability.

The Dream-Maker Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and iterate on internal platforms that support research workflows (e.g., data ingestion, enrichment, indexing, search, labeling, evaluation harnesses, experiment tooling).
• Develop durable pipelines and connectors to bring in and normalize research data sources.
• Create reusable libraries, templates, CLIs, and services that enable researchers to run analyses and experiments safely and repeatably.
• Own deployments, reliability, observability, access control, and cost/performance of the research stack so it’s usable by all researchers.
• Work closely with CyberAI researchers on the development of next-generation artificial cyber researchers and AI-driven analysis capabilities.

The Dream Skill Set

• 5+ years of experience building and operating production systems (platform engineering, data engineering, infra, or backend engineering).
• Strong software engineering fundamentals (clean architecture, testing, CI/CD, code review, documentation).
• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and modern deployment patterns (containers, orchestration, serverless and/or Kubernetes; infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform is a plus).
• Experience designing data pipelines and service integrations
• Ability to work closely with researchers: turn ambiguous needs into clear requirements, make pragmatic tradeoffs, ship incrementally, and support adoption.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity research workflows such Threat Hunting, Malware Research, CTI and more.
