You will shape solution architectures, drive delivery for clients, and serve as the technical anchor embedded at the mission edge.

Support integration of AI-native solutions into diverse client environments, including legacy platforms, regulated data ecosystems, and classified environments
Operate across the tech stack, frontend, backend, APIs, orchestration layers, data pipelines, with autonomy and engineering depth
