About this role

The AI Engineer - Public Sector position at Unstructured Data Platform for GenAI is a remote opportunity for an autonomous professional who wants to build advanced generative AI systems for government and military clients. This role suits a systems-first engineer eager to bridge the gap between experimental research and scalable production-grade software.

Role Overview

This position sits on the Public Sector team to deliver high-impact solutions using cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Team members spend half their time building and shipping production RAG pipelines and agentic workflows using Python, thirty percent on research and experimentation with new models, and the remaining portion on technical strategy, documentation, and customer collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

Own the full lifecycle of AI solutions from initial research to deployment in AWS environments.
Design and implement production-grade RAG pipelines and agentic workflows to process complex data formats like PDFs, scanned documents, and images.
Evaluate novel large language models, embedding models, and object detection systems for government deliverables.
Partner with colleagues to document architectures, write technical reports, and participate in pre-sales calls to address client requirements.
Translate high-level government mandates into actionable technical roadmaps without requiring constant oversight.

Requirements

Proven experience deploying production RAG pipelines against messy, real-world datasets.
Deep expertise in agentic system design, including tool-use and multi-agent orchestration.
Strong Python programming abilities focused on writing clean, scalable, and maintainable code.
Practical experience operating within AWS or GovCloud infrastructure.
Comfortable working in restricted, air-gapped, or classified environments with open-source models when commercial APIs are unavailable.

Nice to Have

Experience fine-tuning natural language processing or object detection models.
Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks addressing hallucination detection and drift monitoring.
Knowledge of government security standards and on-premise classification environments.
Existing Secret or Top Secret security clearance, or eligibility to obtain one.

Skills and Tools

Programming Languages: Python, SQL
LLM and Agentic Frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI
RAG Stack: Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, pgvector, Neo4J, Elasticsearch, BM25, Sentence-Transformers, spaCy, GLiNER, Transformers, embedding models, and reranking pipelines
Evaluation and Observability: RAGAS, DeepEval, Arize Phoenix, and synthetic annotations
Cloud and Infrastructure: AWS, SageMaker, Bedrock, S3, Lambda, Docker, and FastAPI

Salary and Benefits
