Generative AI Engineer

About the Role We’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer who builds real systems, not just demos. This role is for someone who can design and deliver AI-native applications end-to-end, embedding LLMs, agents, and intelligent workflows into production environments. You’ll work across software engineering, AI/ML, and system architecture, building solutions that operate at scale in mission-critical, regulated environments. What You’ll Do • Build AI-native applications embedded in enterprise workflows • Design end-to-end systems (frontend, backend, data, AI layers) • Develop and deploy: • RAG pipelines • Agent-based architectures • LLM-powered services • Create scalable APIs, microservices, and distributed systems • Deliver secure, compliant AI solutions for federal environments • Optimize performance, cost, and reliability in production • Help define internal AI frameworks and accelerators • Mentor engineers and lead technical design decisions What You Bring • 10+ years of full-stack engineering experience • 2+ years building AI-native or AI-first applications • Strong coding skills (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, etc.) • Hands-on experience with: • LLMs (prompting, RAG, agents) • APIs and microservices • Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) • SQL/NoSQL + vector databases • Experience building secure, scalable systems (enterprise or federal) • Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions Nice to Have • Experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks • Familiarity with vector DBs (Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate) • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and IaC • Knowledge of FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, FISMA • Federal experience or active clearance What Success Looks Like • You deliver a production AI system used by real users • You build scalable RAG or agent-based architectures • You help establish reusable AI engineering patterns • You contribute to internal AI platforms and innovation Who You Are • A builder who ships production systems, not just prototypes • A systems thinker who connects AI to real outcomes • Comfortable with ambiguity and shaping architecture • A leader who can drive clarity across teams Why Join Us • Work on cutting-edge AI systems in real-world environments • Influence the architecture of next-gen AI platforms • Join a high-performing, mission-driven team • Support impactful federal modernization efforts If you’re building serious AI systems and want to work on problems that matter, we’d love to talk.
