About Job

Location: Bellevue, WA (4+ days onsite)
Stack: Python (Primary), C# (Optional), LLMs, Optimization & Simulation

We’re applying frontier AI and LLM technology to domains where outcomes are measured in lives saved, logistics won, and missions completed. As an AI/ML Engineer, you will lead the integration of large language models into agentic workflows, simulation platforms, and real-time decision engines.

If you’ve ever wanted to work on the bleeding edge of LLM integration, agent design, and AI reasoning at scale, this is your opportunity. You’ll work with a world-class team where deep AI meets domain expertise—and where your work will directly influence national security.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and optimize agentic workflows powered by LLMs
• Drive prompt engineering and architecture for embedded reasoning
• Partner with simulation and backend teams to train and deploy models in real-world scenarios
• Contribute to novel approaches in AI-guided decision making in contested environments

Ideal Candidate:

• 3+ years of experience in AI/ML or applied data science
• Expertise in Python and modern LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source stacks)
• Familiarity with optimization, simulation modeling, or autonomous agents
• Bonus: experience with secure systems, C#, or decision modeling

You’re not just writing code—you’re helping defend the future, using AI as a force multiplier for good.
