The listing
Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.
The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.
About Swarm Aero
Swarm Aero builds Group 5 autonomous aircraft and Legion, our command and control platform for coordinating UAV swarms. We're backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and Coatue, and our software is already running on real programs and real hardware. Legion is the layer operators actually touch, and it needs to ship fast, run reliably, and deploy anywhere our customers need it.
The role
You'll be a core member of the team that builds and runs the infrastructure behind Legion. Working alongside our DevSecOps lead, you'll own day-to-day pipelines, environments, and deployments so our engineers can move quickly without breaking the things operators depend on. This is a hands-on role for someone who likes building systems more than writing tickets about them.
What you'll do
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that take Legion from commit to production across multiple environments
Manage infrastructure as code for cloud and on-prem deployments
Run and scale containerized services on Kubernetes
Build out observability: monitoring, logging, alerting, and on-call tooling
Package and deploy Legion to customer environments, including travel to customer and test sites when deployments require it
Partner with our DevSecOps lead to bake security and compliance requirements into the platform from the start
Help engineers across Legion ship faster by improving developer tooling and environments
What we're looking for
4 to 8 years in DevOps, platform, SRE, or infrastructure engineering
Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and infrastructure as code (Terraform or similar)
Experience building and owning CI/CD pipelines in a production environment
Solid Linux and networking fundamentals
Scripting in Python, Go, or Bash
Active Secret clearance or higher strongly preferred; must be able to obtain and maintain a US security clearance
Willingness to travel to customer and test sites
Nice to have
Experience deploying to air-gapped, disconnected, or edge environments
Background in defense tech, government programs, or regulated environments
Experience supporting real-time or mission-critical systems
ITAR requirement
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
Medical, dental, vision, and 401k
PTO and paid sick leave
Monthly wellness stipend
Daily catered lunch (office)
Paid parental leave
Direct impact on a critical national security mission
