Key skills for this role
Spear AI is seeking Intelligence / Targeting Mission Integrators to sit at the seam between operational targeting and AI-enabled capability development. You know the Joint Targeting Cycle from the inside — object-based intelligence, target development, target system analysis, collection management — and you can translate that operational reality into workflows, requirements, and user stories that developers can build against. Your job is to spot where operational workflows, data sources, and AI capabilities should connect, then make that integration happen.
This is a small, fast-moving, multi-vendor program. Your operational judgment shapes what we build and how fast it reaches the warfighter. We are filling four of these roles.
Spear AI is a growing defense-technology company delivering AI/ML software and engineering services built for the hardest national-security problems. Founded by U.S. Navy veterans, we help joint, combatant command, and interagency teams see what’s happening and respond faster — turning data into decisions that matter. As we grow, we’re building a flat, mission-driven culture where your voice reaches leadership and your impact is visible.
Spear AI serves the national security industry and deploys software to cloud environments that span unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret regions. We also deploy software to the edge in some of the harshest conditions on Earth, including U.S. nuclear submarines.
• Bring operational targeting expertise to bear across the Joint Targeting Cycle at the CCMD, Joint Staff, SOCOM, or IC level.
• [Priority] Identify integration opportunities between operational workflows, data sources, and AI-enabled capabilities.
• [Priority] Apply advanced, systems-level target development (target system analysis) to shape capability direction.
