Job description

Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company with the mission of protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. Its products include Hivemind autonomy software, V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft, and Aechelon simulation and synthetic reality technologies. With offices and facilities across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, Shield AI’s technology actively supports operations worldwide. For more information, visit www.shield.ai. Follow Shield AI on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube. 

 
Job Description: 

As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll own our CI/CD and automation stack — driving developer velocity, pipeline health, and large-scale test execution from single-agent runs to cluster-orchestrated mission scenarios. This is a hands-on IC role that removes bottlenecks, accelerates iteration, and ensures every engineer can test and ship with speed and rigor.  

 
 
 
What you'll do:

  • Own and operate the CI/CD system across autonomy, embedded, and ground software.   

  • Improve developer velocity by reducing build/test cycle time and eliminating pipeline bottlenecks.   

  • Scale simulation test execution in CI — from containerized single-agent runs to orchestrated clusters.   

  • Manage infrastructure for builds and tests (Azure DevOps, Git, Artifactory, cloud build agents).   

  • Fully automate common tasks to create a self-service DevOps model allowing developers to be fully empowered.  

  • Partner with developers to resolve build/test failures quickly and set best practices for integration.   

  • Integrate CI pipelines with HIL and simulation environments for automated validation.   

  • Implement monitoring, dashboards, and alerts for CI/CD health and performance.   

  • Collaborate with the Developer Ops teams across Shield AI to introduce new technologies, best practices, and shared standards.   

Required qualifications:

  • BS in CS, CE, EE, or related field with 7+ years industry experience (or MS/PhD with 5+ years).   

  • Strong expertise in CI/CD tools (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).   

  • Proficiency with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, cloud build clusters).   

  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell).   

  • Hands-on experience integrating automated testing into CI pipelines.   

  • Demonstrated success improving developer productivity at scale.   

  • Demonstrated track record of excellence as a primary contributor on projects - showcasing the ability to navigate through development cycles, overcome obstacles, and deliver high-quality solutions in a fast-paced environment     

  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience building simulation or HIL-based test pipelines.   

  • CMake/C++ expertise or equivalent. 

  • Strong understanding of dependency management and proficiency with either Conan or CPM. 

  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) and monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus).   

  • Background in robotics, autonomy, or aerospace systems.
