Description

Leidos is seeking an experienced Senior AWS Generative AI Solution Engineer to design and implement the reasoning layer for a GenAI-enabled HUD FHA Resource Center.

The selected candidate will lead development of a multi-agent solution using Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore Runtime, Knowledge Bases, Guardrails, OpenSearch Serverless, AWS Lambda, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation to support grounded voice and chat interactions.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement Amazon Bedrock Agents, including a Supervisor Agent and domain-specific Sub-Agents.
  • Develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation workflows using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and OpenSearch Serverless.
  • Implement prompt engineering, agent routing, confidence logic, and low-confidence fallback behavior.
  • Configure Bedrock Guardrails for PII redaction, prompt-injection detection, denied topics, content safety, and grounding evaluation.
  • Build Lambda orchestration to connect Lex V2, Bedrock AgentCore, response generation, and human transfer decisions.
  • Support session management, conversation context persistence, and cross-channel consistency for voice and chat.
  • Integrate the GenAI stack with Amazon Connect, Salesforce, CloudWatch, DynamoDB, S3, SNS, IAM, and KMS.
  • Lead AI testing, response quality tuning, grounding validation, and latency optimization across production-like scenarios.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of relevant experience OR Masters degree with 6+ years of relevant experience.
  • 8+ years of software engineering OR cloud development experience.
  • At least 3 years of Generative AI OR LLM application development experience.
  • Strong Python development skills and experience building production AWS solutions.
  • Hands-on experience with Amazon Bedrock, RAG patterns, and vector-based retrieval.
  • Experience with APIs, distributed systems, and secure cloud architecture.
  • Ability to work effectively in a regulated government environment.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust security clearance.
  • US Citizen.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • AWS certifications such as AI Practitioner, Machine Learning Specialty, OR Solutions Architect Professional.
  • Experience with Amazon Bedrock Agents, AgentCore Runtime, Guardrails, and Knowledge Bases.
  • Experience with Claude models, agent frameworks, or multi-agent orchestration patterns.
  • Familiarity with FedRAMP environments and government AI governance requirements.
  • Experience with LangChain, Strands Agents, or other agent development frameworks.

Success Measures:

  • Supervisor Agent and Sub-Agents are implemented and tested across HUD service domains.
  • Responses are grounded, accurate, and safely filtered through Guardrails.
  • Confidence scoring and fallback behavior support reliable human escalation.
  • The GenAI platform is production-ready, maintainable, and compliant with security and privacy requirements.

Salary: The program budget salary for this role could fall anywhere between $130,000 to low/mid $150,000 with a slight wiggle room (no guarantees) based on relevant experience and assessment.
