Senior Systems Engineer II - Edge Platform & Packaging (On-Prem)
Dispel builds secure, private network infrastructure for critical industries. A large share of our product does not run in our cloud — it runs on appliances inside customer plants, substations, water districts, and manufacturing floors, on networks we do not control, behind change-control windows we do not set, sometimes reachable only through a narrow tunnel and sometimes not reachable at all. Every one of those appliances has to be installable by a field technician, patchable without a truck roll, and diagnosable after the fact.
As a Senior Systems Engineer II, you own how Dispel's on-premises software gets built, packaged, shipped, updated, and observed. That covers our Site Control appliance and the Wicket fleet: the OS baseline, the container and package layers, the release artifacts, the signing and provenance chain, the update mechanism, and the local telemetry and edge-processing capability that lets an appliance keep doing useful work when its uplink is degraded or gone.
This is a systems role, not a build-tooling role. You will make consequential calls about the runtime substrate on the edge, how state and configuration are reconciled, how an appliance recovers from a failed update, and how much processing belongs at the edge versus in the cloud. You scope that work into well-defined milestones, estimate it, and follow through — and you write it so other engineers can reason about it and extend it with confidence.
