## Description

At Scale, our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world's most important decisions.

As a New Grad Software Engineer on the Public Sector team, you will own meaningful, mission-facing work from day one: shipping features, sitting with government stakeholders who use them, and iterating fast.

## Responsibilities

- Build multi-layered guardrails that keep agents safe and predictable in high-stakes federal environments

- Optimize data retrieval for agents, including RAG pipelines over large, heterogeneous federal datasets

- Build orchestration for fleets of asynchronous agents running long-horizon tasks

- Develop systems that automatically alert users to deviations and anomalies in incoming data

- Create interfaces that illustrate how an agent reached a decision, so operators can audit and trust its output

- Develop data pipelines and ML infrastructure that make previously siloed government data sources accessible to agents

- Build evaluation infrastructure that measures model reliability against mission requirements

- Ship full-stack tooling that lets analysts query, visualize, and explore mission data

- Deploy and harden applications into secure, air-gapped, and cloud-native government environments

## Requirements

- A graduation date in Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 with a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field (Computer Science, EECS, Computer Engineering, Statistics)

- Product engineering experience such as building web apps full-stack, integrating with relevant APIs and services, talking to users, figuring out 'what' to build and then iterating

- Previous Product/Software Engineering internship experience

- Track record of shipping high-quality products and features at scale

- Experience building systems that process large volumes of data

- Experience with Python, Typescript, React, and/or MongoDB

- Strong written and verbal communication , you will work directly with government stakeholders and must be able to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences

- Comfort with ambiguity and evolving requirements, and a willingness to learn new domains quickly

## Nice to Have

- Hands-on experience with LLMs, evaluations, or agentic systems , whether from internships, research, or personal projects

- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes)

- Exposure to ETL, data modeling, data warehousing, or data governance

- Prior experience with, or demonstrated interest in, national security, defense, or civil government technology

- Open source contributions or a portfolio of shipped side projects

## Benefits

- Retirement benefits

- A learning and development stipend

- Generous PTO

- Commuter stipend
