AI/ML Engineer: LLMs, RAG & Production ML

Accenture Federal Services Careers Marketplace; Tampa (FL); On-site; USD 101,000 - 135,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture Federal Services in the United States seeks an AI Engineer with TS/SCI clearance to design, build, and optimize intelligent systems for mission-critical gov projects. You will work on RAG pipelines, embedding workflows, and LLM orchestration.

Collaborate with data engineers and architects, apply MLOps practices, ensure security, scalability and reliable deployment on cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, using Docker for containerized workloads.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, vector databases, and RAG frameworks.
• Strong programming skills in Python; familiarity with Java/C++ is a plus. Proficiency with ML and DL frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace).
• Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, APIs, and distributed systems. Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and containerization (Docker).

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain RAG pipelines, including document ingestion, embedding generation, vector storage, retrieval logic, and LLM orchestration.
• Build and optimize LLM-powered applications for classification, summarization, Q&A, knowledge retrieval, and workflow automation.
• Apply core software engineering and ML fundamentals to ensure performance, reliability, and security (e.g., data structures, algorithms, model evaluation, MLOps, API development).
• Implement and tune traditional ML models when required (e.g., regression, clustering, feature engineering, classical NLP).
• Integrate cloud-native services (Azure/AWS), data pipelines, and containerized workloads (Docker). Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including data engineers, architects, and mission SMEs to translate requirements into scalable solutions.
