Spear AI is hiring a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own deployment and authorization on our developer cloud for the undersea enterprise. It's an accredited platform for building, deploying, and operating mission software across unclassified and classified environments.
You'll take commercial and partner software from first onboarding through hardened deployment and Authority to Operate, working directly with government security staff to compress timelines without cutting corners. Authorization speed is what we're measured on. This is a builder's role. You decide when to build, when to reuse, and when a problem doesn't need solving, and you leave behind tooling that makes the next deployment faster than the last. The result is real capability in mission users' hands in months, not years.
Spear AI is a growing defense contracting company dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that support our nation’s security. As we expand, we’re building a culture where innovation meets mission-critical work. We operate with a flat organizational structure that empowers every team member to make an impact, collaborate directly with leadership, and contribute to projects that matter. Whether you’re joining our Hardware, Software, or Services division, you’ll work alongside talented professionals who are committed to excellence and advancing the capabilities that keep our nation safe and secure.
Spear AI builds sonobuoy sensors that are deployed into the water and collect edge data. You’ll have an opportunity to work on real-world projects that directly impact warfighter capabilities and mission success.
