Hoplite Solutions is seeking a motivated AI Engineer with a proven track record in software engineering and deep understanding of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) techniques to support the exciting new AI and Emerging Technologies (AI&ET) mission. The engineer will work closely with mission stakeholders to capture requirements, aid in structured planning, and improve the certification process by introducing AI/ML tooling. Additionally, the engineer will use AI/ML to develop tools and techniques to include fine tuning Large Language Models (LLM) that assist in enhanced vulnerability identification and mitigation capabilities.

Develop and optimize data preprocessing pipelines to ingest, clean, transform, and vectorize product documentation, source code, and test results for LLM consumption.
Design and implement database solutions to support RAG architectures, artifact storage, audit trails, and metadata management.

Technical Proficiency:

Collaboratively work with systems engineers to architect and deploy networked AI tools within secure enclaves and conduct performance profiling, optimization, and scalability analysis of mission systems.
Support security assessments and authority to operate (ATO) processes.

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree plus 5-years of relevant experience or equivalent.
Proficiency in Python, LLM integration, and data engineering.
Experience with static analyzers, RAG framework, and relational and vector databases.
Familiarization with Agile, Git, Jira, and Confluence.
Security Clearance: Active TS/SCI with Polygraph required.

Desirable Skills:

Familiarization with RUST, Claude Code, Codex, and CI/CD.
