• Develop harnesses, APIs, and user interfaces that enable engineers and researchers to leverage AI within secure environments.
• Integrate LLMs into development and vulnerability research (VR) workflows to improve productivity and mission effectiveness.
• Assess infrastructure, compute, storage, and networking requirements needed to support AI deployments.
• Monitor, maintain, and optimize AI platform performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Collaborate with software developers, vulnerability researchers, reverse engineers, and cyber operators to identify opportunities for AI integration.
• Stay current with advances in foundation models and recommend new capabilities as the AI landscape evolves.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience deploying and managing large language models (LLMs) in self-hosted or offline environments.
• Experience supporting cybersecurity, vulnerability research (VR), reverse engineering, or cyber operations.
• Experience with one or more current LLMs such as Opus, Sonnet, MiniMax, Qwen, or similar.
• Experience building APIs, tooling, or interfaces that integrate AI capabilities into existing applications or workflows.
• Strong troubleshooting and systems integration skills.
• Active TS/SCI clearance with current or ability to obtain polygraph.
