Follow Shield AI on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube. Job Description: Shield AI is building autonomous aircraft that redefine aviation. The Software Integration & Operations (SIO) team builds the pipelines, tools, and systems that make fast, reliable delivery of complex aircraft software possible. As a DevOps Build Engineer, you will own and maintain the build system for our autonomous aircraft (XBAT/VBAT).  This role is primarily focused on Developer Experience (DevEx) and bringing DevOps best practices to our software engineers to accelerate their development cycles.

Responsibilities

  • Be the expert on our native (C++) software build process.
  • Improve developer velocity by reducing build/test cycle time and eliminating pipeline bottlenecks.
  • Collaborate with Software Engineers to understand their requirements, propose designs, and implement identified solutions.
  • 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 related to build system performance for both local development and CI workflows.
  • Use agentic solutions to aid in quickly identifying root cause around build failures and getting the appropriate feedback to a Software Engineer.

Requirements

  • BS in CS, CE, EE, or related field with 7+ years industry experience (or MS/PhD with 5+ years).
  • Deep CMake/C++ expertise or equivalent.
  • Strong understanding of dependency management and proficiency with either Conan or CPM.
  • Proficiency with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, cloud build clusters).
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash).
  • 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
