AI Developer (Agentic Systems Focus)

Leidos has a career opening for an AI Developer (Agentic Systems Focus). Overview The evolving cyber landscape requires rapid development of advanced capabilities to support Computer Network Operations (CNO). The Leidos Office of Technology, supporting the Cyber & Analytics Business Area (CABA), is seeking an AI-first Developer to design and deliver next‑generation, AI‑driven solutions for cyber research and development. This role centers on building agentic AI systems—autonomous, goal‑directed software that can reason, plan, and execute complex tasks in support of vulnerability research and reverse engineering workflows. The selected candidate will operate at the intersection of AI engineering and cyber operations, developing multi‑agent systems that accelerate analysis, automate workflows, and enhance decision‑making. Primary Responsibilities Design and implement agentic AI systems to automate vulnerability research and reverse engineering workflows Develop and orchestrate multi‑agent architectures capable of planning, tool use, and iterative reasoning Integrate LLMs and AI services into full‑stack applications for cyber use cases Build rapid prototypes and proof‑of‑concept systems demonstrating AI‑driven CNO capabilities Apply security and networking knowledge to guide AI system behavior and outputs Explore and operationalize emerging AI techniques for cyber applications Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree and 2+ years experience in a technical discipline (e.g., Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field). Additional years of experience may be used in lieu of degree. Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience applying AI/ML to software development or cyber use cases Experience in at least three of the following: Development of agentic AI systems, including planning, memory, tool use, and multi‑step reasoning workflows Experience with AI development platforms and tools (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, Copilot, or similar) Proficiency in Python and/or C/C++ for building AI‑integrated applications Experience integrating APIs, tools, and external data sources into AI‑driven workflows Understanding of reverse engineering principles across software, firmware, or hardware Familiarity with vulnerability research methodologies, including fuzzing Knowledge of network programming and protocols U.S. citizenship required Preferred Qualifications Active TS/SCI with Polygraph security clearance Experience designing production‑grade agent workflows (e.g., orchestration, evaluation, guardrails, observability) Familiarity with vector databases, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), and memory systems Experience with signal and protocol analysis tools Understanding of advanced networking and communications systems Experience with virtualization and emulation technologies Pay Range $69,550.00 – $125,725.00 Commitment to Non‑Discrimination All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, race, ethnicity, age, national origin, citizenship, religion, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, pregnancy, family structure, marital status, ancestry, domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran or military status, or any other basis prohibited by law.
