Shield AI is seeking an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer to join the Shared Services Engineering team. The team builds and operates common services, SDKs, APIs, and customer-facing applications that connect Shield's products.

You will work across the stack, from customer-facing web applications to backend services and product integrations.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and operate full-stack applications, backend services, SDKs, and APIs

  • Partner with product and engineering teams to understand shared needs and develop reusable capabilities
  • Establish secure, reliable, documented, and versioned interfaces for internal engineering teams and external customers
  • Own solutions through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support
  • Contribute to technical direction through design reviews, thoughtful tradeoffs, and collaboration with other engineers

Required qualifications:

  • 4+ years of software engineering experience or equivalent practical experience
  • Demonstrated technical judgment in the design and operation of full-stack applications, backend services, APIs, or distributed systems
  • Systems thinking and the ability to turn recurring or ambiguous needs into coherent, reusable solutions
  • Track record of owning production software from initial design through operation and continuous improvement
  • Effective collaboration and communication across engineering, product, and organizational stakeholders

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience creating shared capabilities adopted across multiple products or engineering teams
  • Depth in one or more relevant domains, such as identity and authentication, public APIs and SDKs, or OpenTelemetry and high-volume telemetry data
  • Experience building modern web applications and the backend services that support them
  • Experience building and operating secure, reliable software in regulated or compliance-driven environments
