AI Engineer

Design and deliver AI‑based solutions for a web‑based workflow application for the Federal Government. You will learn customer business workflows, refine use cases that can leverage AI, and build cutting‑edge AI solutions that directly result in productivity increase, enhanced user experience, and cost savings.

Use the latest AI tools to develop chatbots, agentic workflows, intelligent dashboards, and application assistants while collaborating with cross‑functional teams to build AI‑enabled features, develop proof‑of‑concepts, and translate them into production‑ready systems.

• Design and develop AI‑enabled features for web‑based workflow applications using LLMs, GenAI, and agentic AI patterns.
• Build RAG pipelines using application data, policy documents, user manuals, help cards, and business process publications.
• Implement agentic workflows with orchestration frameworks such as Lang Graph, Agno, Haystack, or CrewAI for AI‑based application assistants.
• Integrate and implement prompt engineering strategies and AI/LLM APIs (OpenAI, Bedrock).
• Architect full‑stack AI features with reliable API integrations, error handling, and graceful degradation.
• Establish LLM observability (cost, latency, quality) and responsible AI guardrails (hallucination detection, output validation, CUI safeguards).
• Maintain full‑stack applications, including web development with modern technologies such as React, Type Script, Node.js, Python, and Java.
• Address security vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards.
• Participate in code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and collaborative development workflows.
• Document technical implementations and stay current with AI and ML developments.

• 1+ year(s) of experience implementing software across all aspects of the SDLC.
• 1+ year hands‑on experience developing generative AI/LLM‑powered applications.
• Expert‑level proficiency in Python and strong proficiency in JavaScript.
• Experience with RESTful APIs and integrating AI/LLM APIs (OpenAI, Bedrock).
• Experience with prompt engineering techniques (few‑shot, chain‑of‑thought, system prompts).
• Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks such as Lang Graph, Agno, CrewAI, or similar.
• Experience with RAG architectures, agentic patterns, and vector databases.
• Strong understanding of ML fundamentals (supervised/unsupervised learning, model evaluation, feature engineering, NLP).
• Experience with data analysis and ML libraries (pandas, Num Py, scikit‑learn, or equivalent).
• Experience with containerization using Docker.
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Proficiency with Git version control and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Preferred: Experience with vector databases (Open Search, pgvector) and embedding models.
• Preferred: Experience with AWS Gov Cloud, AWS Bedrock, or Azure OpenAI Service.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related STEM field, with a minimum of 1–2 years of academic or professional experience in coding and debugging object‑oriented applications. Master’s degree preferred.
