Job description

Everforth ECS is seeking an AI Solutions Engineer to work in our Arlington, VA office/remotely.

Our Philosophy

We believe AI only creates value when it’s grounded in a real business problem, not deployed for its own sake. This role isn’t about deep model research, it’s about understanding what enterprise customers actually need, then designing and integrating AI solutions that work in practice inside a regulated GovCloud environment. We’re looking for someone who can move fluidly between technical teams and program stakeholders, translating both directions, and who treats testing and iteration as part of the job, not an afterthought.

About the Role

This role supports the design, integration, and ongoing improvement of AI capabilities across our cloud platform and other cloud applications. You’ll work directly with technical teams and federal customer stakeholders to identify where AI can solve real problems, then build solutions that hold up in a FedRAMP environment.

Responsibilities

Understand & Define

• Work with technical and program teams to understand problems and goals, identifying where AI can create real value Define clear success criteria before design work beginnings.

• Track new AI tools, trends, and best practices; bring relevant ideas back into current and future work

Design

• Plan and design AI-powered solutions (models, automation workflows, chat/assistant tools) that are practical, scalable, and aligned with program needs

• Select appropriate tools and approaches given constraints and compliance requirements

Build & Integrate

• Develop and connect AI solutions with existing platforms, databases, and workflows without disrupting current operations. Ensure smooth integration within cloud infrastructure and account structure

Test & Improve

• Monitor solution performance, fix issues as they arise, and make ongoing improvements to accuracy, reliability, and efficiency
• Treat customer demand signals (e.g., pilot demos) as input to what gets built next

Communication

• Translate complex AI concepts into plain language for federal program leads and non-technical stakeholders. Support stakeholder engagement materials and customer-facing demos

Salary Range: $130,000 - $175,000
