Position Summary

We have an immediate need for a highly skilled Senior Google AI Engineer. We are growing our Google Cloud AI engineering capability to support our Department of War (DoW) programs. You will design, build, and operationalize production grade AI systems on Google Cloud—accelerating mission outcomes for a high visibility program.

As a Senior Google AI Engineer, you will serve as a hands‑on technical leader for AI solution delivery. You’ll translate mission needs into secure, scalable AI/ML systems; guide data, platform, and application engineers; and ensure solutions meet DoW security and compliance requirements in production. The ideal candidate combines deep GCP/Looker/BigQuery/Vertex AI expertise with strong MLOps, data engineering fluency, and experience delivering in regulated environments.

 Responsibilities include, but are not limited to the duties listed below:

• Architect and deliver end‑to‑end AI/ML solutions on Google Cloud using Vertex AI (Workbench, Pipelines, Training, Model Registry, Online/Batch Prediction, Feature Store, Model Monitoring) and Gemini/LLM services—optimized for performance, cost, and maintainability.
• Develop production data pipelines with BigQuery, Dataflow, and Dataproc; integrate streaming via Pub/Sub; containerize and orchestrate with Cloud Run and GKE; automate CI/CD with Cloud Build and IaC.
• Implement robust MLOps (experiment tracking, evaluation, bias/robustness testing, model versioning, canary/blue‑green rollouts, automated retraining, drift detection, and lineage).
• Apply secure‑by‑design patterns—VPC‑SC, private service access, CMEK, fine‑grained IAM, artifact signing, and secrets management—aligned to NIST 800‑53, RMF, and FedRAMP baselines.
• Operationalize LLM/GenAI (RAG, tool‑use/agents, safety filters, evaluation harnesses) including retrieval over structured/unstructured data; leverage DoW‑approved AI toolchains where appropriate.
• Partner with mission stakeholders to elicit requirements, frame measurable success criteria, and deliver iterative value; provide technical mentorship and lead design/code reviews for engineering teams.
• Contribute to program roadmaps (including use cases), documenting architectures, controls, and SOPs for sustained operations.

Requirements

• US citizenship with the ability to obtain successful DoW Secret security clearance required. Candidates with active Secret clearance preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
• Advanced degree (Master's Degree or PhD) in AI/ML, Data Science, Computer Science, or a closely related discipline is preferred but not required, especially when balanced with substantial hands‑on experience (5+ years) in AI/ML solution development.
• 8+ years total software development/data experience with 5+ years focused on AI/ML engineering and MLOps, including production deployments on Google Cloud (GCP).
• Proven experience architecting robust data ingestion, processing, and transformation workflows using Dataflow, Data Fusion, Dataproc, BigQuery, and Looker and integrating these platforms with Vertex AI for model training, deployment, and inference.
• Must possess a current Google Associate Cloud Engineer (GCP-ACE) or Google Professional Cloud Architect (GCP-PCA) certification or be able to obtain it within 90 days of hire.
• Must possess at least one current DoW Cyber Baseline Certification (e.g., Security+ Intermediate, SecurityX/CASP+ Advanced) or be able to obtain it within 90 days of hire.
• Proven experience with extracting data from SAP Enterprise Business Applications.
• Expert in Python (and/or Go/TypeScript) for AI services; strong with Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow and/or Data Fusion, GKE/Cloud Run, Cloud Build, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub.
• Practical experience with LLMs/GenAI (e.g., Gemini), vector databases, prompt engineering, RAG patterns, and evaluation/guardrails.
• Proven MLOps track record (Pipelines, CI/CD for ML, feature stores, monitoring/drift, automated retraining) and strong data engineering fundamentals.
• Ability to design for security & compliance in DoW/Federal contexts (NIST 800‑53, RMF, FedRAMP; Zero Trust principles).
• Hands‑on experience with Vertex AI Agent Builder, Model Garden, embeddings/vector search (e.g., BigQuery Vector, AlloyDB AI), and evaluation frameworks.
• Experience integrating GenAI safely within IL5 environments and familiarity with available government AI platforms.

Salary Range: $150,000 - $190,000 annually. Actual compensation will be determined based on the selected candidate's experience, education, certifications, skills, and overall qualifications.
