The Opportunity:

Are you looking to bring strong hands-on technical skills, including software and integration, to cybersecurity and mission challenges affecting Navy efforts in the San Diego region? Our team is a skilled group that partners deeply with clients and mission stakeholders: we clarify the problem, shape technical approaches, and deliver practical outcomes in secure, compliant settings. This is not a typical role on a large software product team. It is a multidisciplinary environment where you may move between advisory conversations, solution and implementation planning, and focused integration and implementation, including AI-enabled automation and analytics where they reduce risk and improve speed and quality of cyber and mission workflows.

You will work with cybersecurity specialists, engineers, and partners supporting Navy customers and warfare centers. Success requires curiosity, ownership, and comfort learning in classified or controlled environments. We value clear communication, sound judgment, and the ability to translate between mission language and technical reality, always with security, RMF, and operational constraints in view.

With mentorship and hands-on problem-solving, we deliver outcomes that reduce cyber risk and support the fleet and ashore enterprise. Work with us to modernize Navy cyber missions through responsible use of data, automation, and AI.

What You’ll Do:

• Understand the client and the problem: participate in discussions with mission and technical partners to clarify objectives, constraints, and security or compliance boundaries.

• Shape solutions: contribute to technical approaches, tradeoff analysis, and implementation plans such as what to build or integrate, how to phase work, and what evidence or controls matter.

• Deliver hands-on technical work: design, implement, test, and troubleshoot scripts, services, APIs, or automation, including AI/LLM-assisted workflows where appropriate, so recommendations are credible and deployable, not slide-only.

• Integrate systems and data: work with REST/HTTP APIs, data stores, and enterprise or cloud patterns to connect capabilities safely and repeatably.

• Document and communicate: produce clear artifacts for technical and non-technical audiences such as design notes, limitations, operational implications, or security-relevant behaviors.

• Respect the cyber context: align work with RMF, control expectations, and secure engineering practices; partner with cybersecurity and authorization stakeholders.

• Improve how we work: use version control, review practices, and lightweight testing appropriate to the engagement, and stay current on responsible AI expectations in government settings.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• Experience in a technical role in an academic or professional work environment

• Experience integrating an API or service, such as REST, or automating a repeatable workflow using code you authored or extended

• Experience using Git in a professional role or reviewed context in class, or internship

• Ability to write, test, and debug code in Python

• Ability to learn quickly in ambiguous problem spaces and communicate technical concepts to non-specialists

• Secret clearance

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, or a STEM field

• Ability to obtain DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II certification within 30 days of hire date

Nice If You Have:

• Experience designing AI/ML or LLM-enabled architectures, including model selection, workflow design, orchestration, and integration into mission workflows

• Experience with AI/ML or LLM-enabled patterns, such as RAG, embeddings, vector search, prompt or tool orchestration, or frameworks such as OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, LangChain, or comparable

• Experience with enterprise data and analytics platforms the team may leverage-examples include DoD's Advana or War Data Platform (WDP), Databricks, and Palantir Foundry

• Experience implementing AI/ML or LLM solutions and model deployment locally or through cloud-based technologies

• Experience conducting process transformation analyses, mapping as-is and to-be workflows, and developing solution blueprints

• Experience with LLM model registries, such as Hugging Face, embedding models, and vector databases

Clearance:
Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
