## Description

We're looking for a Software Engineer to join an exciting, up-and-coming project where your work will directly shape mission-centric insights derived from large-scale data analysis. This is a hands-on engineering and data integration role - you'll be designing, developing, and integrating solutions at the intersection of software engineering and AI/ML, and you'll be doing it alongside a collaborative team of analysts, data scientists, fellow engineers, and systems administrators.

You'll be a key contributor to the full software development lifecycle, from eliciting requirements from stakeholders all the way through to production deployment. If you're energized by working with cutting-edge AI technologies and building pipelines that turn raw data into meaningful intelligence, this role was built for you.

In this role, you will:

 * Design, develop, and integrate software solutions involving the analysis of large data sets to support mission objectives
 * Build and expand upon containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes
 * Write scripts to convert, normalize, and prepare data for analysis and downstream use
 * Apply DevOps practices throughout the development and deployment lifecycle
 * Leverage AI and machine learning technologies to deliver intelligent, data-driven capabilities
 * Elicit requirements from stakeholders and evaluate the applicability of AI/ML solutions to mission problems
 * Deploy and manage services in cloud-based hosting environments
 * Work closely with analysts, data scientists, and engineers in an integrated team environment
