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.
