  • 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.​
