Agentic AI Engineer

Agentic AI Engineer

The Opportunity:

As an Agentic AI Engineer, you will design, build, and deploy AI agents capable of autonomously using tools, interacting with software systems, and executing multi-step tasks. You will develop agent architectures, including decision-making logic, memory systems, and orchestration flows that enable AI agents to perform complex operations reliably and safely. You will integrate new and existing tools, define structured interfaces for agent interactions, and implement evaluation and monitoring approaches to ensure agent behavior remains predictable and aligned with mission needs. You’ll collaborate across engineering teams to deliver scalable and production-ready agentic systems that enhance capabilities across distributed environments.

Work with us to solve real-world challenges and define ML strategy for RF Enabled Cyber Operations.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• Experience designing and implementing software systems in Python
• Experience creating AI agents or multi-step LLM workflows, including defining agent behavior, sequencing, or state-transition logic
• Experience integrating tools, APIs, or external services into AI-driven or workflow-oriented systems
• Experience implementing inference request flows, including handling latency, token limits
• Experience writing integration tests for multi-service or multi-component systems
• Knowledge of containerization and CI/CD pipelines
• TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph
• Scheduled to obtain a Bachelor’s degree by Spring 2027

Nice If You Have:

• Experience architecting multi-agent workflows, including coordination patterns such as hierarchical, collaborative, or parallel tasking
• Experience implementing state machines, planners, or decision-graph logic for agent behavior and tool routing
• Experience designing agent memory architectures, such as hybrid short-term and long-term memory systems or vector-based semantic recall
• Experience developing evaluation, observability, and monitoring solutions for agentic systems, including traceability of decisions and tool calls
• Experience with orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen, and supporting data stores such as Redis or Postgres
• Experience integrating cloud AI platforms such as AWS Bedrock AgentCore, Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, or Microsoft Foundry Agent Service
• Experience implementing resilience patterns such as retries with backoff, timeouts, circuit breakers, or safe-mode fallbacks for agent behavior
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code tooling
• Possession of excellent written and verbal communication skills

Clearance:

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.
