About this role

The Public Sector software engineers (SWEs) create the core product building blocks forward-deployed teams use to develop agentic capabilities that function across multiple domains. 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 includes:

• Create multi-layered guardrails around agents

• Optimize data retrieval for agents

• Orchestrate fleets of asynchronous agents

• Automatically alerts users to deviations in data

• Illustrating how an agent reached a decision

As a Software Engineer, you will own the development of a vertical feature or a horizontal capability to include defining requirements with stakeholders and implementation until it is accepted by the stakeholders.

You will: Design and implement scalable backend systems for Federal customers using cloud-native AI infrastructure.

• Build features for agentic systems including multi-layered guardrails and data retrieval optimization.

• Develop data pipelines and machine learning infrastructure to make data sources accessible by agents.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute backend solutions for secure environments.

• Participate in customer engagements to understand requirements and deliver technical solutions.

• Define requirements with stakeholders and implement features until they are accepted.

• Contribute to the platform roadmap and product strategy for the Federal business.

Ideally you will have: 

• Full Stack Development: Proficiency in front-end, back-end development and infrastructure, including experience with modern web development frameworks, programming languages, and databases

• Data Engineering: Knowledge of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes and experience in building data pipelines to integrate and process diverse data sources. Understanding of data modeling, data warehousing, and data governance principles

• AI Application Integration: Familiarity with integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and building agentic workflows. Understanding of prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent orchestration is beneficial.

• Problem Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to understand complex challenges and devise effective solutions. Ability to think critically, identify root causes, and propose innovative approaches to overcome technical obstacles

• Collaboration and Communication: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and customers. Ability to clearly articulate technical concep
