The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

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.

Swarm Aero is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse backgrounds and experiences and make employment decisions without regard to race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or disability.

What We Offer

• Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company

• 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

• A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
