What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Full Stack Engineer position at Shield AI?
The Applications team under Software Integration & Operations builds custom, internal applications that enable and optimize daily operations for the V-BAT product line. This includes applications for manufacturing execution, fleet-sustainment, and software deployment. We are looking for a well-experienced and hungry full-stack engineer to take over development of new web applications, specifically serving build software to optimize daily V-BAT mission operations and fleet sustainment needs.
The ideal candidate is someone who can independently own the design, implementation, and deployment of robust software solutions for manufacturing execution and resource planning for our aircraft production lines. The role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in an agile, fast-moving environment and is motivated in building modern software solutions for aircraft operations.
You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and cross-functional software teams to deliver tools that directly improve aircraft manufacturing, flight operations, and training. Your contributions will be shipped and used weekly; you and the team will provide long-term ownership over the apps you build.
