The Applications team within Software Integration & Operations builds internal tools that power Shield AI’s most critical operations across Production, Customer Success, Supply Chain, and Engineering. Our portfolio spans over-the-air (OTA) update systems, simulation training platforms, fleet sustainment software, and enterprise applications supporting aircraft manufacturing. 
 
We’re growing quickly and looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to help design, develop, and deploy robust applications that directly enable manufacturing, operational planning, and execution — all within a Foundry-integrated ecosystem. 
 
If you thrive in fast-moving environments, enjoy solving complex problems with modern software, and want to see your code deliver immediate impact, this role is for you. 

What you'll do:

  • Execute the development and release of Foundry-backed applications that power MES, ERP, and operational analytics. 
  • Develop end-to-end features: From backend services and data transformations to user-facing interfaces — ensuring performance, maintainability, and security. 
  • Collaborate with production managers, engineers, and supply chain teams to understand workflows and deliver scalable software solutions. 
  • Leverage Palantir Foundry: Use Foundry’s APIs, ontology, and visualization tools to integrate data across multiple domains. 
  • Deliver continuously: Write well-tested, maintainable code and iterate quickly based on real-world feedback. 
  • Shape the roadmap: Contribute to technical direction, make sound architecture decisions, and help scale our Foundry development capabilities.

Required qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in full-stack application development with proven ownership of deployed solutions. 
  • Hands-on experience designing and building React application and TypeScipt/Javascript based backend (API)
  • Strong skills in data modeling, working with large datasets, and building analytical workflows. 
  • Solid foundation in software design, testing, and documentation. 
  • Ability to deliver complex projects independently while collaborating effectively across teams.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Familiarity with Palantir Foundry (ontology, pipelines, APIs, visualization) or other large-scale data platforms. 
  • Hands-on experience designing and operating Python data-processing pipelines
  • Experience building software for manufacturing, supply chain or aircraft maintenance.
  • Familiarity with modern software delivery practices (version control, testing, CI/CD).

About Shield AI

Shield AI

Shield AI is a venture-backed defense technology company specializing in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and next-generation military aviation. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Diego, the company is focused on building advanced software and hardware solutions that enable military forces to operate effectively in the most contested, denied, and high-risk environments. Its technologies are designed to function where traditional systems fail—particularly in GPS-denied, communications-disrupted, and highly dynamic combat scenarios.

At the core of Shield AI’s innovation is its emphasis on software-driven autonomy. Rather than relying on remote human operators, the company develops AI-powered “pilots” capable of independently navigating complex missions, making real-time decisions, and executing objectives with speed and precision. This approach allows autonomous systems to operate with greater resilience, reduced latency, and significantly enhanced survivability in modern warfare environments.

Its mission is to protect service members and civilians through intelligent, autonomous systems. This mission drives the company’s commitment to reducing human risk on the battlefield while expanding the operational reach and effectiveness of defense forces. By combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence with deep operational insight, Shield AI is helping to redefine how military missions are planned, executed, and sustained in the era of autonomous warfare.
