• Build and implement Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions using frameworks such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, Strands, CrewAI, LangGraph, and similar technologies.
• Integrate large language models (LLMs) with mission data sources, vector databases, memory systems, and orchestration frameworks while ensuring compliance with cybersecurity and governance requirements.
• Support the adoption of cloud-native AI practices, including MLOps, AIOps, CI/CD pipelines, model monitoring, and responsible AI implementation.
• Produce technical documentation, sustainment plans, and transition materials to support long-term government ownership and maintainability.
• Deliver technical coaching, knowledge transfer, and collaboration opportunities that help government personnel expand AI and data science competencies.
• Partner with mission stakeholders across organizations to ensure AI and analytics capabilities align with operational requirements and modernization objectives.

• Experience developing machine learning workflows, data pipelines, automation solutions, or advanced analytics capabilities.
• Experience supporting AI/ML workloads in Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Demonstrated ability to translate mission or business requirements into technical solutions.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Army, or Federal Government programs.
• Experience conducting technical training, mentoring, or knowledge transfer activities in government environments.
• Experience designing and implementing multi-agent systems for decision support, workflow automation, or mission operations.
• Knowledge of LLM prompt engineering, model tuning, secure RAG architectures, vector databases, and retrieval systems.
• Experience with MLOps, AIOps, DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native deployments.
