AI and ML Software Engineer
The Opportunity:
Booz Allen is the leading provider of AI services to the nation, and we're looking for a software engineer like you to create full-stack applications that integrate enterprise AI/ML services, including LLMs, to solve tough problems. As a full stack developer, you'll design and deliver secure, scalable applications that bring AI-powered capabilities to life for our HR and people operations users. You'll analyze the needs and the environment to make sure the solution you are developing considers the current architecture and operating environment, as well as future functionality and enhancements. You'll integrate enterprise AI services such as LLMs and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) with web stacks and SQL data stores to create intuitive, reliable user experiences. This role is more than coding: you'll collaborate across product, data, and security to turn practical AI use cases into production ready solutions that streamline workflows and unlock insights.

What You'll Work On:

• Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications such as front end, APIs, services, and data tiers, including robust integration with SQL based databases.
• Integrate with enterprise AI platforms and architectures, including LLMs and RAG pipelines, to enhance HR applications such as natural language search across policies and knowledge bases, automated document summarization, and contextual insights surfaced in user workflows.
• Design, develop, implement, and maintain HR and training software applications and management solutions in an operational environment at the corporate and below level.
• Build reliable retrieval and data processing pipelines to feed AI features with internal and approved external data and perform ETL from source systems into the SQL data layer.
• Ensure data quality, consistency, and security across systems, applying role-based access, auditability, and privacy-aware design when handling enterprise data.
• Implement retrieval-based solutions using internal documents, APIs, and databases, optimizing prompts, flows, embeddings, and vector search for performance and accuracy.
• Collaborate with product owners and stakeholders to identify high value AI use cases and tune AI-enabled features for performance, cost, and reliability.
