Responsibilities

  • Build, deploy, extend, and operate internal AI chat, agent, retrieval, and developer-workflow systems.
  • Develop GitLab-integrated agents that create merge requests, respond to reviews, and iterate through existing engineering workflows.
  • Design secure sandboxes and isolated environments for agent code execution, repository access, tools, and hardware-in-the-loop use cases.
  • Own the AI gateway layer, including model routing, credential management, access policy, telemetry, and cost attribution.
  • Operate the AI stack through monitoring, upgrades, incident response, and continuous improvement.
  • Partner with security and compliance stakeholders to implement CUI handling, data residency, provider selection, audit logging, and other boundary requirements.
  • Produce architecture, data-flow diagrams, and logging evidence supporting compliance documentation.
  • Evaluate applied-AI tooling, define the roadmap, and communicate technical opportunities and limitations to leadership.

Requirements

  • Several years of experience building, shipping, and operating production software.
  • Fluency in at least one of Python, Go, or TypeScript, plus Terraform.
  • Experience with API design, testing, code review, and production service ownership.
  • Hands-on experience building LLM-powered systems involving retrieval pipelines, tool use or MCP, agent orchestration, prompt and context management, and evaluation.
  • Experience deploying, extending, and integrating open-source applications such as chat frontends, gateways, or developer tools.
  • Experience with Git-hosting APIs, webhooks, and CI/CD integrations for developer workflows.
  • Cloud and Kubernetes engineering experience with technologies such as containers, Helm, Terraform, GKE, and IAM.
  • Understanding of sandboxing, isolation, network policy, and least-privilege credentials for safely running model-generated code.
  • Ability to elicit requirements from security stakeholders and design systems that are observable and auditable in regulated environments.
  • Clear technical and executive written communication and the autonomy to define and validate a roadmap.
  • Preferred: experience in CMMC, DoD Impact Level, FedRAMP, or NIST 800-171 environments.
  • Preferred: self-hosted inference with vLLM, TGI, or similar systems, including GPU provisioning and open-weight model deployment.
  • Preferred: experience with LLM gateway or proxy layers such as LiteLLM and per-team cost attribution.
  • Preferred: hardware-in-the-loop, lab automation, device access control, DLP, GCP services, Bazel or other hermetic build systems, and observability stacks.

Benefits

  • Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid remote/in-office schedules.
  • Professional development and career advancement opportunities.
  • 401(k), dental, vision, health, and life insurance benefits.
  • Paid time off and equity options.
  • Opportunity to work on aerospace communications and national-security programs.
