SWEs responsibilities include building the systems required to ingest and process federal datasets to support real‑time decision‑making in contested environments. We develop novel agentic enabling capabilities that include: Create multi‑layered guardrails around agents Optimize data retrieval for agents Orchestrate fleets of asynchronous agents Automatically alert users to deviations in data Illustrate how an agent reached a decision Responsibilities Orchestrate the implementation of vertical features and horizontal capabilities at scale with other engineers and stakeholders. Define technical strategy for agentic guardrails, explainability, and fleet orchestration. Ensure system reliability and performance across multiple security classifications and network types. Mentor engineers in defining requirements with stakeholders and gathering acceptance. Communicate high‑level technical trade‑offs and implementation strategies to senior government stakeholders and C‑Suite members. Influence the long‑term product strategy and technical roadmap for the Federal business unit. Consult on the architecture of AI‑powered solutions for large‑scale federal contracts. Qualifications Full stack development experience: proficiency in front‑end, back‑end development and infrastructure, including modern web frameworks, programming languages, and databases. Cloud‑native technologies: familiarity with AWS, Azure, GCP, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes). Data engineering: knowledge of ETL processes, building data pipelines, data modeling, warehousing, and governance. AI application integration: familiarity with LLMs, prompt engineering, retrieval‑augmented generation, and agent orchestration. Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills. Excellent communication and collaboration skills. Adaptability and learning agility. EEO Statement We are proud to be an inclusive and equal opportunity workplace.
