Description: Join a team building the next generation of AI-powered decision support.

This is a high-visibility program at the intersection of applied AI and mission-critical operations, where your code directly impacts analysts making time-sensitive decisions. You will work closely with operators, analysts, and other software engineers to integrate AI technologies., * Design and maintain Python services for the AI Copilot and Deep Research Agent, including MCP Server and agent orchestration.

 * Build data pipelines and integrations across operational data sources.
 * Develop search and observability tooling using ElasticSearch, Kibana, and Grafana.
 * Mentor junior developers via code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
 * Lead technical design discussions and architectural decisions.
