Job Description:

The Applications team within Software Integration & Operations builds internal tools that power Shield AI’s most critical operations across Production, Customer Success, Supply Chain, and Engineering. Our portfolio spans over-the-air (OTA) update systems, simulation training platforms, fleet sustainment software, and enterprise applications supporting aircraft manufacturing.

We’re growing quickly and looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to help design, develop, and deploy robust applications that directly enable manufacturing, operational planning, and execution — all within a Foundry-integrated ecosystem.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, enjoy solving complex problems with modern software, and want to see your code deliver immediate impact, this role is for you.

What you'll do:

• Execute the development and release of Foundry-backed applications that power MES, ERP, and operational analytics.
• Develop end-to-end features: From backend services and data transformations to user-facing interfaces — ensuring performance, maintainability, and security.
• Collaborate with production managers, engineers, and supply chain teams to understand workflows and deliver scalable software solutions.
• Leverage Palantir Foundry: Use Foundry’s APIs, ontology, and visualization tools to integrate data across multiple domains.
• Deliver continuously: Write well-tested, maintainable code and iterate quickly based on real-world feedback.
• Shape the roadmap: Contribute to technical direction, make sound architecture decisions, and help scale our Foundry development capabilities.

Required qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in full-stack application development with proven ownership of deployed solutions.
• Hands-on experience designing and building React application and TypeScipt/Javascript based backend (API)
• Strong skills in data modeling, working with large datasets, and building analytical workflows.
• Solid foundation in software design, testing, and documentation.
• Ability to deliver complex projects independently while collaborating effectively across teams.

Preferred qualifications:

• Familiarity with Palantir Foundry (ontology, pipelines, APIs, visualization) or other large-scale data platforms.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating Python data-processing pipelines
• Experience building software for manufacturing, supply chain or aircraft maintenance.
• Familiarity with modern software delivery practices (version control, testing, CI/CD).
