Overview
We have an immediate need for an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engineer to support TO-005, Report Authoring and Dissemination (RAD). This role will work closely with system and software engineers to design, prototype, and integrate AI-driven capabilities into the existing RAD architecture—while also contributing to the design of next-generation architecture built for scalability and large data processing.
This is a transformative opportunity to build systems from the ground up that augment human intelligence, streamline workflows, and enable data-driven decision-making across enterprise environments handling high-volume, complex datasets.
Key Responsibilities
AI Solution Design & Development
- Lead end-to-end design and development of AI/ML solutions—from concept, prototyping, and architecture design to production deployment
- Write production-grade code and contribute to scalable, maintainable software systems
- Design modular, extensible architectures that support AI integration within enterprise platforms
Software Architecture & Engineering
- Contribute to or lead the design of enterprise-grade software architecture from scratch, including microservices and distributed systems
- Build backend services and APIs to support AI-driven applications and data pipelines
- Ensure systems are designed for scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability
- Implement best practices in software engineering, version control, CI/CD, and testing frameworks
Data Engineering & Large-Scale Processing
- Design and implement data pipelines to ingest, process, and analyze large structured and unstructured datasets
- Perform Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to inform model design and data strategy
- Optimize data storage and retrieval for performance and scalability
Model Development & Deployment
- Develop, train, evaluate, and fine-tune machine learning and deep learning models
- Implement robust validation, testing, and monitoring to ensure model accuracy, fairness, and reliability
- Deploy models into production environments using MLOps best practices
Collaboration & Communication
- Serve as a technical liaison across engineering, data, and mission stakeholders
- Clearly communicate AI approaches, tradeoffs, and system design decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences
Continuous Innovation
- Stay current with emerging AI/ML technologies, frameworks, and enterprise data solutions
- Identify opportunities to enhance system performance, automation, and intelligence capabilities

Cloud & MLOps
- Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) (e.g., S3, EC2, Lambda, SageMaker)
- Experience with MLOps tools for model deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management
- Understanding of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation) is a plus
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building AI-enabled systems from the ground up in enterprise environments
- Familiarity with data governance, security, and compliance in large-scale systems
- Experience optimizing systems for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency
- Exposure to natural language processing (NLP), especially in document or report generation systems
- Experience supporting intelligence, analytics, or mission-focused platforms
Benefits
- 401K: up to 3% discretionary profit sharing contribution + 100% match on the 1st 7% of pay
- PTO: 20 days per year
- Healthcare, dental, vision, Free for a single participant
- $50,000 Life insurance provided, additional voluntary life insurance available
