## Description

As an AI Engineer at GDIT, you will play a crucial role in designing, prototyping, and integrating AI-enabled capabilities into an existing mission-critical tool.

Responsibilities:

- Lead the design and development of AI-driven solutions from conception to deployment, building multi-agent workflows in which coordinated agents and prompts work together to produce outputs supporting reporting and dissemination.

- Integrate existing foundation models into the RAD architecture via APIs and orchestration frameworks, selecting the right model and approach for each task rather than building models from scratch.

- Design, test, and refine prompts and agent instructions to reliably automate manual tasks, and decompose complex mission workflows into discrete steps an agent pipeline can execute.

- Develop robust testing, evaluation, and validation strategies for AI-generated outputs, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and appropriate handling of edge cases before outputs reach analysts and reports.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including system engineers, software developers, and domain experts.

- Stay current with the rapidly evolving LLM and agentic AI landscape, continuously identifying practical opportunities to apply emerging capabilities to the system.

Requirements:

- 8+ years of related experience

- Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree

- TS/SCI W/ Polygraph security clearance level

- US citizenship required

- Strong Python development skills, with experience writing production-quality, maintainable code

- Hands-on experience building applications on top of existing LLMs (e.g., via APIs for commercial or self-hosted models)

- Experience designing multi-agent or multi-step AI workflows, including prompt chaining, tool use, and agent orchestration (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom frameworks)

- Strong prompt engineering skills and experience evaluating/validating LLM outputs

- Experience integrating AI capabilities into existing software architectures (RESTful APIs, microservices)

- Experience with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing platform

Benefits:

- Comprehensive benefits and wellness packages

- 401K with company match

- Competitive pay and paid time off

- Full flex work weeks where possible

- Paid parental, military, bereavement and jury duty leave

- Short and long-term disability benefits, life, accidental death and dismemberment, personal accident, critical illness and business travel and accident insurance
