We’d still love to connect.

At ANSER, we’re always looking to engage with cleared AI/ML professionals who bring both technical expertise and a strong sense of mission.

 About AI/ML Work at ANSER

As part of ANSER’s growing AI/ML community, you’ll be on the forefront of advising and guiding and developing decision support for the deployment and implementation of intelligent systems in support of high-priority defense and national security initiatives. You’ll help shape the next generation of decision support, automation, and data-driven capabilities, working alongside analysts, system engineers, and government stakeholders.

Most roles are on-site in throughout Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C. area. Due to the classified nature of the work, remote or hybrid options are typically not available.

 Key Responsibilities May Include but are not limited to:

  • Testing, advising and developing guidance and recommendations for the AI solutions and ML models.
  • Provide risk assessments for mitigation solutions for AI and ML capabilities related to mission critical needs.
  • Providing support for the design, training, and deployment of ML models for applications such as predictive analytics, NLP, computer vision, anomaly detection, and decision support.
  • Testing and applying generative AI techniques to enhance simulation, content creation, and mission planning within secure domains.
  • Exploring and implementing agentic AI capabilities, including autonomous agents that reason, plan, and act within operational constraints to support human decision-makers.
  • Building scalable AI/ML architectures that operate effectively within air-gapped or classified environments.
  • Working with structured and unstructured data sources to build pipelines for data ingestion, cleansing, feature extraction, and transformation.
  • Collaborating with software developers, data scientists, and mission SMEs to integrate AI/ML solutions into larger operational systems or platforms.
  • Evaluating emerging technologies and frameworks for potential use in secure or constrained government environments.
  • Preparing technical documentation, model explainability reports, and evaluation metrics tailored for non-technical audiences and decision-makers.

 Ideal Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees (Ph.D., M.S.) are highly desirable.
  • 3+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering, processes, data or development roles, preferably within DoD, defense, or federal contracting environments.
  • Proficiency in Python and common ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, or Hugging Face.
  • Experience with generative models (e.g., LLMs, diffusion models) and agent-based architectures or multi-agent systems is highly valued.
  • Familiarity with ML ops, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and secure deployment strategies.
  • Understanding of responsible AI principles, model governance, and algorithm assurance.
  • Experience deploying ML models in air-gapped, on-prem, or classified environments is a strong plus.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, creativity, and adaptability when working with messy or incomplete real-world data.

 Clearance Requirements:

  • Active Secret clearance is required for most roles.
  • Top Secret or SCI eligibility is highly desirable, and some positions may require a polygraph.

 If you’re ready to apply AI/ML expertise and experience where it matters most, let’s stay in touch. Submit your resume today and we’ll keep you in mind for future positions that align with your technical background and security clearance.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
