In this role, you will help drive the successful adoption of complex solutions by shaping technical approaches, engaging with customers, and guiding programs from concept through deployment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning the technical pre-sales cycle, running deep-dive discovery sessions, crafting solution architectures, and delivering demos and proof-of-concepts that showcase Hivemind's autonomy, AI/ML, and robotics capabilities.

• Serving as the customer's trusted technologist, translating mission needs into achievable engineering tasks, answering tough questions, and rapidly clearing technical blockers during capture.

• Designing integrations, working side-by-side with customer engineering teams to embed Hivemind on UAS, UGV, maritime, and fixed-site platforms, ensuring performance, security, and compliance.

• Creating crisp technical collateral, presentations, specs, FAQs, roadmaps, and demo scripts that accelerate decision-making and shorten sales cycles.

• Collaborating with Product & Engineering, relaying field feedback, influencing the roadmap, validating new features, and vetting out-of-plan opportunities for technical feasibility.

• Supporting proposals and RFIs, providing architectures, data sheets, and quantified performance claims that strengthen our bids.

• Championing Hivemind expertise globally, training regional BD teams and embedding with customers on-site for technical interchange meetings, flight tests, and system bring-ups.

• Tracking the landscape, staying current on autonomy and AI innovations, competitor offerings, and emerging standards to keep Shield AI in front.

This is a build & release engineering role for teams shipping autonomy software to edge-deployed systems, frequently in isolated / constrained environments. You'll own the engineering “last mile” between C++ development and dependable delivery: reproducible builds, trustworthy artefacts, promotion across environments, and deployable releases that work where they matter most.

If you love modern C++ toolchains, dependency hygiene, artefact provenance, and making CI/CD fast and deterministic,this is for you.

Responsibilities:

• Own C++ build and release workflows for autonomy and vision products, from source → build → test → package → release.

• Support and evolve containerised CI/CD pipelines across multiple isolated environments (speed, determinism, promotion, repeatability).

• Build and maintain container images for edge deployment

• Manage JFrog/Artifactory repositories for multi-language and generic artefacts; improve versioning, retention, and promotion practices.

• Strengthen dependency and build reproducibility for C++, reducing “works on my machine” and pipeline flakiness.

• Validate and deploy autonomy and vision-system products, tools, and libraries,focusing on edge delivery and reliability.

• Collaborate with engineers and system admins to ensure integration and stability across real deployment environments.

• Tackle complex, meaningful problems that directly support mission outcomes.

Requirements:

• Strong, hands-on experience delivering modern C++ software in production (not just “supporting” it).

• Demonstrated ownership of build systems / toolchains / dependency management (e.g., Conan, CMake, Nix, Ninja, Artifactory ,whatever you’ve used to ship real systems).

• Significant recent experience running CI/CD for compiled software and maintaining the surrounding engineering systems (pipelines, runners/agents, artefact stores, promotion gates).

• Significant recent experience in Docker / Podman and containerised workflows

• Strong understanding of Linux/Unix systems.

• Experience debugging and troubleshooting.

• Background in air-gapped or isolated DevOps environments (or similarly constrained delivery contexts).

• Experience supporting Python deployment/distribution (for tooling around the C++ core).

Why Shield AI?

• Help shape the future of defence and autonomy in Australia and beyond.

• Be a key voice in a mission-led business redefining what’s possible with emerging technology.

• Join a growing, values-led team headquartered in Port Melbourne, with strong global partnerships and local autonomy.

• Competitive salary, performance-based incentives, and long-term growth opportunities.

What This Role Is Not:

• Not a “cloud-first” DevOps role focused on standing up cloud infrastructure.

• This role is primarily about C++ build & release engineering and edge delivery - making autonomy software shippable, repeatable, and dependable in real environments.
