Job description

AI Engineers -  Multiple Levels (SWE2 / SWE3)   
TS SCI + Poly
Linthicum Heights, MD

Please Note:  This role requires an active TS SCI with POLYGRAPH.  You must have this clearance prior to applying to be considered.


Aperio Global is seeking motivated AI Engineers across multiple experience levels to support our AI & Emerging Technologies (AI&ET) mission. Engineers at all levels will work closely with mission stakeholders to capture requirements, aid in structured planning, and improve the certification process by introducing AI/ML tooling.

You will use AI/ML to develop tools and techniques - including fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) - that assist in enhanced vulnerability identification and mitigation capabilities. This role sits at the intersection of applied AI research and national security, deploying cutting-edge tooling within classified secure enclaves.


Mission Focus:
   Design, develop, and maintain LLM orchestration frameworks that coordinate static analyzers, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and automated testing pipelines
   Develop and optimize data preprocessing pipelines to ingest, clean, transform, and vectorize product documentation, source code, and test results for LLM consumption
   Design and implement database solutions to support RAG architectures, artifact storage, audit trails, and metadata management

Technical Proficiency:
   Collaborate with systems engineers to architect and deploy networked AI tools within secure enclaves
   Conduct performance profiling, optimization, and scalability analysis of mission systems
   Support security assessments and Authority to Operate (ATO) processes
   Collaborate closely with technical leadership on system design decisions and roadmap planning

What We're Looking For:
All candidates must meet the following requirements:

   Bachelor's degree plus 5 years (SWE2) or 8 years (SWE3) of relevant experience, or equivalent
   Proficiency in Python, LLM integration, and data engineering
   Experience with static analyzers and RAG frameworks
   Experience with both relational and vector databases
   Familiarity with Agile methodologies, Git, Jira, and Confluence
   Active TS/SCI +  Polygraph 

Nice to Have:
   Familiarity with Rust
   Experience with Claude Code or OpenAI Codex
   CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance
   Hands-on experience deploying AI tools within classified or air-gapped environments
   Performance profiling and scalability optimization in networked AI systems

About the Mission:
The AI & Emerging Technologies (AI&ET) team is at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence to national security challenges. Our engineers work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment on problems that directly impact mission outcomes. We value intellectual curiosity, technical depth, and a commitment to responsible AI development.

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.

How to Apply:
Submit your application through this posting. Please include:
   Resume highlighting relevant AI/ML and software engineering experience
   Current clearance level and polygraph status
   Desired level (SWE2 or SWE3), or indicate open to both


Level-Experience:
AI Engineer (SWE2) - Mid-level    Bachelor's + 5 years
$127,000-$147,000

Senior AI Engineer (SWE3) - Senior    Bachelor's + 8 years    
$180,000 - $200,000
