  • Must be local to Northern Virginia or willing to relocate or commute for onsite work.
Desirable Qualifications:
  • Experience building applications and systems in the education domain.
  • Hands-on experience building AI agents and agentic workflows, or demonstrable depth with agentic AI and coding tools with the ability to grow into agent-focused development.
  • Experience integrating large language models into applications or development pipelines, including prompt engineering, retrieval, and tool or function calling.
