About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer who builds real systems, not just demos.
This role is for someone who can design and deliver AI-native applications end-to-end, embedding LLMs, agents, and intelligent workflows into production environments.

You’ll work across software engineering, AI/ML, and system architecture, building solutions that operate at scale in mission-critical, regulated environments.

What You’ll Do

• Build AI-native applications embedded in enterprise workflows

• Design end-to-end systems (frontend, backend, data, AI layers)

• Develop and deploy:

• RAG pipelines

• Agent-based architectures

• LLM-powered services

• Create scalable APIs, microservices, and distributed systems

• Deliver secure, compliant AI solutions for federal environments

• Optimize performance, cost, and reliability in production

• Help define internal AI frameworks and accelerators

• Mentor engineers and lead technical design decisions

What You Bring

• 10+ years of full-stack engineering experience

• 2+ years building AI-native or AI-first applications

• Strong coding skills (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, etc.)

• Hands-on experience with:

• LLMs (prompting, RAG, agents)

• APIs and microservices

• Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

• SQL/NoSQL + vector databases

• Experience building secure, scalable systems (enterprise or federal)

• Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions

Nice to Have

• Experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks

• Familiarity with vector DBs (Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate)

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and IaC

• Knowledge of FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, FISMA

• Federal experience or active clearance

What Success Looks Like

• You deliver a production AI system used by real users

• You build scalable RAG or agent-based architectures

• You help establish reusable AI engineering patterns

• You contribute to internal AI platforms and innovation

Who You Are
• A builder who ships production systems, not just prototypes

• A systems thinker who connects AI to real outcomes

• Comfortable with ambiguity and shaping architecture

• A leader who can drive clarity across teams

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI systems in real-world environments

• Influence the architecture of next-gen AI platforms

• Join a high-performing, mission-driven team

• Support impactful federal modernization efforts

If you’re building serious AI systems and want to work on problems that matter, we’d love to talk.
