TL;DR · AI and ML Data Scientist

As an Agentic AI Engineer and Data Scientist for military intelligence at Booz Allen, you will design and develop advanced AI systems to transform complex data into actionable intelligence. You’ll work closely with clients, analysts, and mission stakeholders to identify high-value use cases and build agentic AI capabilities that support decision-making in national security contexts. Your daily tasks include designing AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and prompt strategies using Python and modern AI/ML libraries like PyTorch, Scikit-Learn, LangChain, and Hugging Face. You must have experience with structured and unstructured data analysis, model performance validation, and developing systems for classified environments. Knowledge of information retrieval, embeddings, vector databases, and security standards is essential, as you will ensure these AI systems are reliable, explainable, and aligned to operational requirements.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement agentic AI capabilities for mission-critical national security challenges.
  • Develop intelligent systems to support intelligence discovery, analysis, prioritization, reporting, and decision-making.
  • Analyze and integrate structured and unstructured data from multiple sources for military intelligence applications.
  • Evaluate AI/ML system performance using model accuracy, robustness, and mission-aligned criteria.
  • Translate military intelligence requirements into technical AI solutions and production-ready capabilities.
  • Ensure developed systems are reliable, explainable, secure, testable, and aligned to operational needs.

What we're looking for

  • Experience developing and integrating AI, ML, NLP, LLMs for mission-critical use cases.
  • Proficient in designing agentic AI systems with autonomous or semi-autonomous agents.
  • Expertise in analyzing and processing structured and unstructured intelligence data.
  • Knowledge of evaluating AI/ML system performance and robustness criteria.
  • TS/SCI clearance required; experience supporting military intelligence missions essential.
  • Ability to translate mission requirements into technical AI solutions and prototypes.
