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

Requirements

Active TS/SCI clearance (or ability to obtain)

  • Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, Engineering, or related field
  • 3-10+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering or applied data science

Technical Expertise Strong proficiency in:

  • Python (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn)

  • Data frameworks (Pandas, Spark, Ray) Experience with:

  • Graph analytics and network analysis

  • Anomaly detection and behavioral modeling

  • Entity resolution and probabilistic matching Familiarity with:

  • Kubernetes, Docker, microservices architectures

  • REST APIs and distributed systems, Experience supporting DIA, IC, or DoD AI/ML programs Hands-on experience with:

  • NVIDIA Morpheus or GPU-accelerated AI pipelines

  • Vector databases and embedding-based search

  • Knowledge graphs and semantic reasoning systems

Experience operating in:

  • DDIL (Disconnected, Denied, Intermittent, Low-bandwidth) environments
  • Edge AI deployments
