You will work closely with cross-functional teams to streamline software delivery using Azure DevOps, GitHub, Artifactory, and SonarQube. Your expertise in infrastructure-as-code, deployment automation, and secure coding practices will help accelerate Shield AI’s mission-critical engineering workflows. This role offers the opportunity to shape scalable, enterprise-grade solutions that support the company’s rapid growth and operational excellence.

What you'll do:

  • Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation using Gitlab, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Artifactory, and SonarQube.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline software delivery, improve code quality, and enhance operational visibility through automation and tooling.
  • Implement secure, maintainable, and scalable solutions that support both developer productivity and enterprise compliance needs.
  • Continuously evaluate and adopt modern DevOps and full-stack practices to drive efficiency and innovation across the organization.

Required qualifications:

  • Typically requires a minimum of 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a bachelor’s degree; or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong experience developing and maintaining internal web applications using C#/Blazor and/or Python.
  • Hands-on expertise with DevOps practices and tooling, including CI/CD pipeline development (Gitlab/Azure DevOps preferred), version control (GitHub), and artifact management (Artifactory).
  • Experience with automation, infrastructure-as-code, and quality tools such as SonarQube.
  • Solid understanding of secure software development, system integration, and enterprise-scale architecture.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with a track record of cross-functional teamwork.
  • Proven ability to deliver high-quality, maintainable solutions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Demonstrated commitment to ownership, continuous improvement, and being a reliable, respectful team member.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience developing software within a DoD, defense, or government contractor environment.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as NIST 800-218 (SSDF).
  • Background in implementing DevSecOps practices in secure environments.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Bicep).
  • Working knowledge of secure software development practices, static/dynamic analysis, and artifact attestation.
  • Experience integrating with enterprise identity and access management systems, including support for SSO, RBAC, and audit logging.
  • Proficiency with Blazor Server/WebAssembly and Python for building tools in support of secure development workflows.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
