TL;DR · Agentic AI Forward-Deployed Engineer

As an Agentic AI Forward-Deployed Engineer within the Global Defense Disruption Cell, you will embed with program teams to transform manual workflows into reliable, observable, and auditable AI agents. You will map complex processes, identify exception paths, and determine where deterministic software meets model judgment. Your daily responsibilities include building agentic systems that reason and act across existing tools and APIs, developing evaluation frameworks with golden datasets, and managing organizational change by training the workforce to supervise automation. The role requires proficiency in Python or TypeScript, experience with LLMs, RAG, MCP, or multi-agent orchestration, and integration skills for enterprise platforms like ERP, CRM, and SharePoint. You will solve the challenge of moving non-deterministic AI behaviors into production environments while codifying reusable patterns and playbooks to scale capabilities across the entire organization.

What you'll do

  • Map and document complex workflows, data flows, and exception paths by embedding with program teams.
  • Create automation roadmaps that prioritize high-volume tasks based on expected value and risk.
  • Design and deploy AI agents that reason and act across existing tools, APIs, and data sources.
  • Develop evaluation frameworks, golden datasets, and regression tests to validate non-deterministic agent behavior.
  • Instrument systems with audit trails and metrics to track hours saved and risks reduced.
  • Lead change management by training the workforce and redesigning roles around automation supervision.
  • Codify field findings into reusable playbooks and components for the broader engineering team.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree (preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, machine learning engineering, technical advisory, or solutions engineering roles.
  • 2+ years of experience building applications with generative and agentic AI technologies, including LLMs, RAG, MCP, or multi-agent orchestration.
  • Experience developing production code in Python or TypeScript.
  • Experience deploying an LLM-powered system or AI agent into a production environment, including evaluation, monitoring, and iteration after launch.
  • Ability to obtain a Secret clearance (Secret clearance preferred).
  • Experience with integration of enterprise systems, business process mapping, and organizational change management (preferred).
