Staff Cross Domain Solution Engineer (R5356)

shieldai

Dallas, TX, US· lead· $130K – $200K

If you want your early career to mean something concrete, this role puts you in front of real problems that matter. Shield AI builds autonomous systems for defense—software and hardware that actually protect people. As a Staff engineer here, you're not maintaining legacy code in a cubicle. You're architecting systems that handle classified data across multiple security levels, which means solving technical problems most recent grads never get near.

Your job is to lead design, integration, and deployment of cross-domain solutions that let different network environments share data securely. You'll work across classified networks (Top Secret and beyond), own system accreditation and security engineering, and partner with cybersecurity, network, and program teams. You're the senior technical authority—the person people come to when the architecture matters.

This is for engineers with a solid foundation in systems design, security principles, and network architecture. Computer science, electrical engineering, or related backgrounds help. You should be comfortable with classified environments (or willing to learn). A security clearance is valuable but not required on day one.

Shield AI is venture-backed, founded in 2015, and operates across the U.S., Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. The Dallas office is on-site. Salary ranges from $130,000 to $200,000 based on experience. Apply through CareerJumpShip to connect directly.
