Job description
The AI Engineer will design, develop, and deploy scalable machine learning and AI-driven analytics capabilities
- Multi-source data fusion
- Entity resolution and behavioral modeling
- Predictive and prescriptive intelligence analytics
- Autonomous detection and alerting pipelines
You will operate across the full lifecycle from data ingestion to model deployment to operational feedback loops.
Core Responsibilities AI/ML Engineering & Model Development
-
Design and implement machine learning, deep learning, and statistical models for intelligence use cases
-
Build entity resolution, graph analytics, and behavioral anomaly detection models
-
Develop adaptive models that evolve with adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
-
Leverage transformer architectures, LLM fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) where mission-appropriate Data Engineering & Pipeline Integration
-
Integrate models into high-throughput data pipelines supporting structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data
-
Work with streaming frameworks and batch processing systems to enable real-time inference at scale
-
Implement feature engineering pipelines aligned with mission-relevant signals and intelligence context Operational Deployment (MLOps / DevSecOps)
-
Deploy models into Kubernetes-based, containerized environments across cloud and edge
-
Build CI/CD pipelines in GitLab for automated training, testing, validation, and deployment
-
Implement model monitoring, drift detection, and continuous retraining pipelines
-
Ensure compliance with Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and IC security requirements Explainability & Analyst Integration
-
Deliver traceable, explainable AI outputs suitable for analyst validation and operational decision-making
-
Build interfaces and APIs that enable human-in-the-loop workflows and override capabilities
-
Ensure all models maintain provenance, auditability, and reproducibility Collaboration & Mission Alignment
-
Work directly with intelligence analysts, operators, and mission stakeholders
-
Translate mission problems into technical AI solutions with measurable outcomes
-
Contribute to a culture of rapid prototyping, iteration, and deployment
