Job Number: R0242678
AI/ML Engineer, Senior
The Opportunity:
As a Senior Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) Engineer, you will design, build, and deploy advanced AI/ML solutions that modernize mission systems and accelerate decisionmaking across the national security ecosystem. You will contribute endtoend, spanning data processing, model development, MLOps, and integration of scalable AI capabilities into operational environments.
Your work will leverage deep
experience
with MLbased NLP, LLMs and generative AI, computer vision, and modern
sof
tware engineering practices, consistent with the company's AI
/
ML engineering role definitions. You will partner closely with crossfunctional engineering, mission SMEs, and product teams to deliver productiongrade systems aligned with Booz Allen's AI modernization approaches.
What You'll Work On:
Design, develop, and implement AI/ML models, including NLP, LLMbased pipelines, deep learning architectures, and computer vision models, aligned to mission requirements.
Build and optimize scalable data pipelines to support training, evaluation, and continuous improvement of models.
Develop endtoend production systems, including microservices, APIs, automation frameworks, and cloudnative or edgedeployed AI services.
Integrate AI/ML capabilities into operational environments with attention to security, reliability, observability, and performance.
Conduct model optimization, tuning, versioning, and AB testing to ensure robust mission impact.
Apply modern software engineering patterns, including Python, Java, Scala, and Rust, microservices, and distributed systems, as consistent with Booz Allen's AI/ML engineering frameworks.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to identify mission needs, gather requirements, and define technical approaches.
Prepare technical documentation, contribute to design reviews, and support customer-driven requirements.
Join us. The world can't wait.
