• Design and integrate LLM applications, including multi-agent systems, tool-using agents, RAG workflows, and human-in-the-loop autonomy.
• Work directly with government partners in forward-deployed environments to translate mission needs into technical systems.
• Build and maintain large-scale data curation, and evaluation pipelines for model training and improvement.
• Develop infrastructure for model inference, experimentation, evaluation, and deployment across frontier AI platforms.
• Build AI systems that turn mission data, models, and tools into real operational autonomy.
• Own systems across the full lifecycle, including discovery, architecture, implementation, deployment, reliability, security, and iteration.

What We're Looking For

• Able to operate independently in ambiguous, partner-facing settings with technical and operational ownership.
• Strong Python engineer with end-to-end ownership experience.
• Experience with LLMs and creating agentic systems.
• Built or maintained data pipelines / ML infrastructure.
• Familiar with RL workflows or simulation environments.
• Comfortable in high-security / high-reliability environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active U.S. security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain one.
• Experience supporting U.S. Government, defense, intelligence, or national security missions.
• Prior experience at a startup, defense organization, Department of War, or government-focused technology company.
• Background operating in fast-moving startup environments, mission-critical government settings, or both.
