Moving from opportunistic AI to systemic adoption.\n \n \nPrimary Responsibilities. The Senior Full-Spectrum Cyber AI Engineer will architect and operationalize AI-driven capabilities that bridge the gap between OCO and DCO. You will lead the development of automated, “agentic” AI workflows that synchronize intelligence gathering, defensive hardening, and offensive effect delivery. This role is critical for achieving “analytic superiority” by integrating AI into real-time command-and-control (C2) and mission management across all network tiers.\n \n \nThis posting is for multiple opportunities ranging in years of experience. Level of opportunity including compensation, will be matched to the candidate’s experience.\n \n \nKey Responsibilities\n \n \n

  • Integrated Mission Automation: Design AI agents and LLM-enabled workflows to automate the Joint Operational Planning Process (JOPP), specifically for deconflicting and synchronizing OCO and DCO activities.\n
  • Full-Spectrum Tool Development: Build AI-powered platforms for both computer network attack and computer network defense, using automated data pipelines to ingest and act on multi-source security telemetry.\n
  • Secure Cloud Ops: Deploy and scale AI/ML models within secure AWS/Azure GovCloud environments, utilizing Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to ensure mission agility and continuous delivery.\n
  • Operational Intelligence Integration: Synchronize AI-driven intelligence planning with operational timelines to provide actionable, real-time insights for mission execution.\n
  • Tactical AI/ML Engineering: Develop production-ready software-from vision to deployment-that automates vulnerability remediation and enhances system resiliency against advanced state actors.\n
