We are seeking an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to design, build, and operate mission‑grade AI/ML capabilities with production REST services, robust data pipelines, and cloud‑native MLOps. This role leads end‑to‑end model lifecycle (from data management and training to deployment and monitoring), integrates AI services into enterprise applications, and ensures secure, reliable delivery in accredited cloud environments.
- Architect and implement scalable data pipelines and lakes; enforce data governance, encryption (AWS KMS), versioning, lifecycle policies, tagging, and zero‑trust controls across storage and processing workflows.
- Coordinate cross‑domain data movement (e.g., AWS Data Diode/PrivateLink) and continuous compliance evidence generation to support ATO and monitoring.
- Build, expose, and scale model inference APIs (REST/GraphQL) and microservices; validate endpoints and automate documentation (VDD, release notes) for production deployment.
- Design and manage AWS workloads (EC2, EKS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, SNS/SQS) and containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes) within CI/CD toolchains (Jenkins/GitHub).
- Apply infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible) to deliver repeatable, compliant environments with shift‑left security and automated evidence for ATO.
- Lead model selection, training, tuning, and evaluation (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning); apply NLP, computer vision, and agentic/GenAI approaches to mission use cases.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or the equivalent combination of education, technical certifications or training, or work experience.
