The Role
We are hiring a VP of Software to own Legion, the world’s leading swarm command & control software, end to end. This is one of the most consequential leadership roles at Swarm Aero. You will report directly to the CEO and lead a team spanning autonomy, mission software, full-stack engineering, forward deployed engineering, product management, and design.
You will set technical roadmap and product strategy, make hard architectural calls, and stay close enough to the work to know when something is wrong before it becomes a problem. You will also scale the team, define how Legion operates, and build the culture that ships the software that wins. You will work with the CEO, the mission & aircraft leadership, customers, and investors to define the future of drone swarms and operate the most impactful drone swarms ever built.
What You Will Do
- Own Legion's roadmap, architecture, and delivery across autonomy, mission software, C2, full-stack engineering, product, design, and forward deployed software
- Lead and grow a team of engineers, PMs, and designers; define org structure, hiring priorities, and team operating cadence
- Partner directly with the CEO, Aircraft and Mission teams, Customers, and Investors on product strategy, requirements and roadmap, and system integration
- Set technical standards for autonomy and swarm software, including real-time systems, multi-agent coordination, and field-deployed tooling
- Drive rigorous engineering execution: sprint planning, code quality, system reliability, and release discipline
- Recruit and retain exceptional software talent; build the hiring machine for Legion's next phase of growth
- Establish engineering-to-field feedback loops with Forward Deployed Engineers to continuously improve system performance in operational environments
- Represent Legion in technical reviews, customer briefings, and program engagements
- Drive early adoption of leading AI tools across the Legion team, and at team interfaces
