About this Site Reliability Engineer role at Dirac, Inc.
About the Company
Dirac is on a mission to reindustrialize The West. American manufacturing is broken—burdened by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated processes. We are pioneering Model-Based Manufacturing, where context-aware production planning informs design in real-time—eliminating the disconnect between engineering and manufacturing. Our platform automates what can be automated and captures tribal knowledge where automation falls short, creating a seamless system for building at scale. We're building the tools modern manufacturers need to move faster and build better, the pillars of a more abundant future.
We are a mission-driven company of world-class engineers and operators with a culture of high trust, high agency, and high autonomy.

- Own critical systems—design, build, and scale them.
- Work directly with manufacturers to ensure our tools solve real problems.
- Operate in high-agency mode—if it needs doing, you do it.
Requirements:
- You’ve built something - a project, an assignment, something physical, an open source library - and you can explain it conversationally.
