Autonomous Agents AI Engineer

Aslan; Washington (District of Columbia); On-site; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Aslan is hiring an AI engineer to build the cognitive architecture and orchestration for autonomous agents operating over extended horizons in high‑stakes environments. You’ll push frontier models with post‑training, domain‑specific fine‑tuning, and scaffolding to enable robust multi‑agent collaboration and decision making.

You’ll own data feedback and evaluation pipelines, ensuring reliability, coherence, and operational impact while working with platform engineers to deliver mission‑critical

Qualifications

• Roughly 5+ years of software/ML engineering experience, at a senior level of judgment and autonomy.
• Hands‑on experience building agentic AI systems that operate autonomously over extended time.
• Deep familiarity with frontier models: fine‑tuning, post‑training, and domain adaptation.
• Strong software engineering and systems thinking with production‑grade tools.
• Rigorous data‑oriented mindset: provenance, labeling, and evaluation as core engineering concerns.
• Experience running models on constrained hardware: quantization, memory management, inference optimization.

Responsibilities

• Design the cognitive architecture enabling AI agents to operate autonomously over extended task horizons.
• Build orchestration for multi‑agent coordination at scale with context sharing and conflict resolution.
• Advance frontier models via post‑training, domain‑specific fine‑tuning, and scaffolding strategies.
• Develop evaluation frameworks for long‑duration deployments: reliability, coherence, regression detection.
• Own data feedback loops from live deployments to drive model improvements while respecting domain constraints.
• Collaborate with forward‑deployed and platform engineers to operationalize requirements.
