Job Description
This position may be based in San Diego, CA; Dallas, TX; Washington, D.C.; or other Shield AI locations.
Shield AI is seeking a Staff Platform Engineer to help design and implement the internal technology platforms that power our engineering, autonomy, and enterprise operations environments.
In this highly technical individual contributor role, you will serve as a senior technical expert responsible for designing and evolving scalable, secure, and highly automated platform infrastructure spanning cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments. You will work closely with engineering, security, and infrastructure teams to establish platform architecture, develop paved paths for developers, and implement automation that improves reliability, security, and development productivity across engineering teams.
This role is ideal for an experienced platform engineer who thrives at the intersection of systems architecture, automation, and developer enablement, and who enjoys building the foundational systems that allow engineering organizations to move quickly and safely.
Platform Architecture & Engineering
* Build and evolve scalable internal platform infrastructure supporting engineering workloads across public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem environments.
* Design and implement platform capabilities that enable standardized, secure, and repeatable application deployment of applications and services.
* Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code frameworks and reusable platform modules to accelerate engineering productivity.
* Establish and evolve “paved path” platform patterns that simplify secure software delivery for engineering teams.
Automation & Developer Enablement
* Build automation and developer tooling that improves software delivery and engineering productivity.
* Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines, artifact management, and developer platform tooling.
* Collaborate with engineering teams to reduce operational friction and improve system observability, resilience, and reliability.
* Develop internal tools, platform integrations, and automation frameworks that streamline engineering workflows across the organization.
Infrastructure & Systems Engineering
* Design, implement, and operate highly available infrastructure platforms supporting mission-critical engineering systems.
* Implement scalable platform solutions across cloud and on-prem environments including compute, networking, identity, and storage.
* Partner with security teams to embed strong security controls, auditability, and compliance requirements into platform architectures.
* Evaluate and introduce new technologies that improve system scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
Here is what this employer asked for. Sign in and we will fill in your half.
Shield AI builds Hivemind, an autonomy stack that flies aircraft without GPS, a remote pilot or waypoints, and the V-BAT aircraft it runs on.
The engineering is autonomy, perception and edge inference under the constraints of flight hardware.
