The Opportunity:

Booz Allen is the leading provider of AI services to the nation and we are looking for a software engineer 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 needs and the environment to make sure the solution you develop 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.

• 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 such as LLMs and RAG pipelines to enhance HR applications, including 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 level and below.
• Build reliable retrieval and data processing pipelines to feed AI features with internal and approved external data.
• 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 prompt flows, embeddings, and vector search for performance and accuracy.
• Collaborate with product owners and stakeholders to identify high‑value AI use cases.
• Tune AI‑enabled features for performance, cost, and reliability.

• 10+ years of experience with IT infrastructures.
• 5+ years of experience supporting the Intelligence Community (IC).
• 5+ years of experience building production web applications and services using C# and .NET.
• 3+ years of experience with jQuery, SQL, or XML.
• 2+ years of experience with JavaScript and a JavaScript framework, including React, Angular, or Vue.
• Experience with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Agile methodologies, and cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, GCP, or Oracle Cloud.
• Knowledge of AI systems architecture, AI platforms, or MLflow.
• TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph.
• Bachelor’s degree.
• Security+, SSCP, CISSP, CCNA, or GSEC certification.

• Experience with HR systems such as Workday, or knowledge‑management platforms such as SharePoint and Confluence.
• Experience with the administration of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins.
• Experience with Lime Survey, Tableau, SharePoint, Service Now, and Learning Management Systems.
• Knowledge of security and privacy controls, including RBAC, data minimization, encryption, and safe‑use policies for AI.
• Master’s degree.
• ML, AI, or Solution Architecture certification.

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is required.
