The ideal candidate has hands-on experience developing AI-powered applications using modern LLM frameworks, containerized environments, and cloud-native development practices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop autonomous AI agents capable of reasoning, planning, and executing tasks independently.

• Build and orchestrate multi-agent workflows using modern AI frameworks and tooling.

• Develop AI-enabled applications using large language models and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures.

• Integrate AI agents with APIs, databases, enterprise systems, and external services.

• Build conversational and human-in-the-loop interfaces for AI systems.

• Develop observability, tracing, and evaluation pipelines for AI workflows and agent performance.

• Containerize and deploy AI applications using Docker-based infrastructure.

• Collaborate with software engineers, cybersecurity teams, researchers, and stakeholders to deliver scalable AI capabilities.

• Maintain CI/CD pipelines and source control workflows using GitLab.

• Optimize prompts, memory systems, context handling, and agent decision-making.

• Research and prototype emerging agentic AI techniques and frameworks., Bethesda, MDOn-Site NoSQL Junit DevOps XQuery Equities Marklogic Operations Governance Purchasing Upskilling Market Data Spring Boot Cryptography Business Logic Key Management System Testing Data Processing Custom Software Ancient History Agile Methodology Analytical Method Time Off Management Security Engineering Signals Intelligence Business Requirements Object-Oriented Design Angular (Web Framework) Application Development SQL (Programming Language) Agile Software Development Java (Programming Language) Computer Network Operations Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Python (Programming Language) Service-Oriented Architecture Software Development Life Cycle Extensible Markup Language (XML) HyperText Markup Language (HTML) JavaScript (Programming Language) Resource Description Framework (RDF) Application Programming Interface (API) SPARQL Protocol And RDF Query Language (SPARQL) Top Secret-Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI Clearance) +0 Software Engineer Leidos Bethesda, MDOn-Site Unix JIRA Junit DevOps Github Jenkins Equities Scripting Operations Automation Innovation Purchasing User Story Upskilling Market Data Spring Boot Cryptography Key Management System Testing Katalon Studio Version Control Microsoft Azure Ancient History Software Testing Spring Framework Agile Methodology Analytical Method Software Solutions Amazon Web Services Time Off Management Security Engineering Software Engineering Atlassian Confluence Signals Intelligence Bash (Scripting Language) Agile Software Development Java (Programming Language) Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Computer Network Operations Standard Operating Procedure Scrum (Software Development) Python (Programming Language) Software Development Life Cycle JavaScript (Programming Language) Top Secret-Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI Clearance) +0
