About Shield AI

Shield AI is a defense technology company with the mission of protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. We build autonomy systems for air, maritime, space, and other platforms operating in complex and contested environments. Forge is the engineering platform used to build, integrate, test, and operate Hivemind capabilities.

It connects autonomy developers with the applications, services, compute, data, and workflows they need to move from local development to deployed systems.

Job Description

We are looking for a full-stack engineer interested in customer-facing products, developer tools, and AI-assisted workflows. You will partner with internal subject-matter experts to build an extensible application platform and complete applications on it. Shield AI’s Hivemind developers are the platform’s primary design partners and proving ground.

Forge is also designed for external engineering teams to adopt, extend, and integrate into their own environments. You will help evolve Forge into an integrated engineering environment with shared foundations for APIs, user interfaces, extensions, model integrations, and agent tools.

Working across frontend architecture, backend services, platform contracts, and deployment, you will validate the platform through real workflows. Your work will help engineers understand complex systems, develop autonomy software, investigate failures, and deliver reliable capabilities faster.
