Job Title: AI Architect
Contract Duration: 6 Month Contract to Hire
Location: Fairfax, VA (4-5 days' on-site, 3 days' on-site at minimum)
Client wants a hands-on AI architect who can set AI strategy, design secure cloud-based AI systems, lead teams, and navigate federal compliance-someone who can operate at both technical depth and program leadership level.
Senior Architecture and Hands-On AI Leader
- Experience specifically in AI/ML architecture and engineering
- Has designed end-to-end AI solutions, not just models
- Can define AI strategy, reference architectures, and roadmaps, then guide teams to implement them
- Still hands-on enough to prototype in Python, evaluate models, and guide engineering decisions
Federal / Government-Focused Technologist - Direct experience delivering AI or advanced analytics solutions to U.S. federal agencies
- Comfortable operating under FISMA, NIST RMF, FIPS, Gov Cloud security constraints
- Understands policy, compliance, and ethical AI considerations in government environments
- Ideally has worked on large ($50M+) federal programs
Cloud-Centric AI Architect (AWS First) - Strong AWS architecture background, ideally AWS Gov Cloud
- Experience with:
- Sage Maker, Glue, Databricks, Elastic, S3, EC2, IAM
- Hybrid or self-hosted AI platforms
- Can balance performance, scalability, cost, and security in cloud AI designs
AI Generalist (Not Niche)
They want breadth more than deep specialization in one area: - Machine Learning & Deep Learning
- NLP & Generative AI
- Some exposure to Computer Vision
- Data engineering fundamentals (Pandas, Num Py, pipelines, APIs)
- This is not a pure GenAI prompt engineer or research scientist.
Program-Level Leader & Communicator - Acts as AI SME for the entire program
- Can:
- Define AI governance and usage policies
- Educate non-AI engineers and stakeholders
- Mentor junior AI/ML engineers
- Strong written and verbal skills for architecture documents, briefings, and leadership reviews
Security-Aware AI Architect - Experience embedding security-by-design into AI solutions
- Familiar with:
- Dev Sec Ops pipelines
- Secure model deployment
- Data governance and access controls
- Bonus if familiar with DHS CDM, cyber mission space, or security analytics
