Swarm Aero is building autonomous swarming aircraft and Legion, a command-and-control platform for coordinating UAV swarms. The company is backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and Coatue, and is already running software on real defense programs and hardware.
You will be a core member of the infrastructure team that builds and runs the systems behind Legion. Working alongside the DevSecOps lead, you'll own day-to-day CI/CD pipelines, environments, and deployments, enabling engineers to move quickly while maintaining reliability for operators who depend on the platform. This is a hands-on role focused on building systems rather than managing tickets.
Key responsibilities:
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that move Legion from commit to production across multiple environments
- Manage infrastructure as code for cloud and on-premises deployments
- Run and scale containerized services on Kubernetes
- Build observability infrastructure: monitoring, logging, alerting, and on-call tooling
- Package and deploy Legion to customer environments, including travel to customer and test sites when required
- Partner with DevSecOps lead to integrate security and compliance requirements into the platform
- Improve developer tooling and environments to help engineers ship faster
Requirements:
- 4 to 8 years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, SRE, or infrastructure engineering
- Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and infrastructure as code (Terraform or similar)
- Proven experience building and owning CI/CD pipelines in production environments
- Solid Linux and networking fundamentals
- Scripting proficiency 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
- Must be a US citizen, lawful permanent resident, or eligible to obtain required authorizations from the US Department of State (ITAR requirement)
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
