LMI is looking to solve high-priority, fast-moving challenges for government partners by designing and deploying AI solutions that accelerate decisions, uncover anomalies, and unlock the power of their LIGER generative AI (GenAI) platform.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience building and deploying applications that integrate AI/LLMs, APIs, and data pipelines.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency in a modern full-stack environment (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, MEAN, Node.js).
  • Familiarity with cloud deployment (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, etc.).
  • Experience deploying systems powered by generative AI (LLMs, RAG architectures, Model Context Protocol) in sensitive or mission-critical settings.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, CI/CD, and secure software development for government environments.
  • Ability to translate customer needs into actionable technical approaches and deliver solutions in fast-moving or ambiguous contexts.
  • Must have an active Top Secret security clearance with SCI eligibility.

Responsibilities

  • Own technical delivery: Drive AI solution design and implementation across multiple government deployments, from first prototype to stable mission use.
  • Build GenAI-enabled systems: Prototype and implement pipelines using Python, TypeScript, or comparable stacks aligned to customer mission needs.
  • Contribute directly in code: Write and review software across backend and full-stack environments when clarity or momentum depends on it.
  • Codify patterns: Capture reusable workflows, best practices, and lessons learned into playbooks, tools, and building blocks that scale beyond a single project.
  • Shape the roadmap: Share field signal with LMI’s product and research teams to guide the evolution of LIGER and related AI capabilities.
  • Prototype and implement pipelines using Python, TypeScript, or comparable stacks aligned to customer mission needs.
  • Drive AI solution design and implementation across multiple government deployments, from first prototype to stable mission use.

Other

  • This role requires an Active TS/SCI security clearance and availability to collocate with our defense and national security customers in the Pentagon.
  • Serve as a technical thought partner to mission stakeholders, guiding adoption, maximizing impact, and ensuring successful deployments.
  • Help customers understand trade-offs, sequence delivery, and adapt applications to achieve operational outcomes.
  • Deliver clarity under ambiguity: Scope projects, remove blockers, and make informed trade-offs between speed, scope, and quality.
  • Excellent problem-solving, judgment, and communication skills, with ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
