Join us and make YOUR mark on the World!

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has turned bold ideas into world-changing impact advancing science and technology to strengthen U.S. security and promote global stability.

Our mission spans four critical national security areas nuclear deterrence, threat preparedness, energy security, and multi-domain defense empowering teams to take on the toughest challenges of today and tomorrow. With a culture built on innovation and operational excellence, LLNL is a place where your expertise can make a real impact.

We are seeking a Super Intelligence (SI) Platform Integration Engineer to help build and support the shared services, integration, and automation layer that connects SI applications to internal systems, documented equipment interfaces, and approved external services. You will work across backend services, integration tooling, and operations to help SI systems run reliably and securely using established deployment and operational practices. This position is in the Materials Engineering Division (MED) within the Engineering Directorate.

This position offers a hybrid schedule, blending in-person and virtual presence. You will have the flexibility to work from home one or more days per week.

This position will be filled at either level based on knowledge and related experience as assessed by the hiring team. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if hired at the higher level.

• Integrate APIs, webhooks, queues, and event-driven services into reliable integrations that support agent-driven workflows.
• Provide shared connectivity among agent services, hardware gateways, internal platforms, and approved third-party systems.
• Implement and improve deployment workflows, secrets management, monitoring, logging, and operational reliability for agent-facing services within established organizational systems.
• Help define and implement permission boundaries, auditability, rate limiting, and fallback behaviors for automated actions.
• Partner with embedded, applied physical SI, security, and application engineers to troubleshoot issues and improve the reliability of integration points. Coordinate with organizational cybersecurity partners on new approaches with support from senior engineers.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Additional job responsibilities, at the SES.2 level

• Design integration approaches spanning multiple services, queues, hardware gateways, and approved third-party APIs.
• Improve shared platform capabilities by introducing reusable adapters, stronger observability, and safer operational controls based on lessons learned from operational workflows.
• Coordinate technical decisions with embedded, applied physical SI, security, and application teams, including the adoption of new integration approaches with cybersecurity partners, and provide informal technical guidance to less experienced engineers.
• Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. citizenship.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and related experience.
• Experience through coursework, projects, research, internships, or professional work building or supporting backend services, internal platforms, DevOps workflows, or integration tooling.
• Proficiency in Go, Rust, or Python for automation, service integration, and operational tooling.
