What this posting asks for

Level: Senior — The title says "Sr".

Main responsibilities

• Design, build, and optimize integrations between AI frontier models (e.g., Grok family) and government systems, platforms, and data environments.
• Identify pain points, scoping product specifications, and designing and building AI-powered software for government or enterprise use cases.
• Benchmark models and develop evaluation frameworks to assess performance and address weaknesses, ensuring compliance with customer standards.
• Enhancing model performance through system prompt tuning or fine-tuning, with an eye toward secure and scalable deployment.
• Analyze request logs, prompt data, or system outputs to ensure reliability and audibility.
• Build internal tooling to streamline workflows and automate repetitive tasks in secure environments.
• Partner with agency stakeholders to understand requirements, prototype solutions, and iterate rapidly based on real-world feedback.
• Ship production-grade code and features with a bias toward speed, simplicity, and measurable impact.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, mathematics, computer engineering, physics, or data science.
• 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building scalable systems, APIs, or AI/ML applications.
