Role Overview

We are looking for a Principal AI Engineer to guide a distributed team of developers in building modern, scalable, and AI-integrated software solutions. As a technical leader, you'll be responsible for architectural oversight, system design, and AI strategy.

This is a highly impactful role, ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, AI-assisted development, and technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture: You will provide technical leadership for the team, guiding the design, development, and deployment of software solutions that leverage AI to solve complex business problems.

Agentic AI & Prompt Engineering: You will be a subject matter expert in Agentic AI integration. This includes architecting and building robust MCPs/APIs and AI Agents to facilitate AI capabilities within our existing platforms. You will also develop and refine prompt strategies to guide AI agents in writing code, documentation, and tests, leveraging LLM tools to automate repetitive tasks and improve overall development efficiency.

System Design & Task Decomposition: You'll translate high-level product goals into actionable engineering tasks that are optimized for both human and AI execution. You will also provide in-depth code reviews (for both human- and AI-generated code), ensuring performance, security, and correctness across our entire codebase.

Mentorship & Coaching: You will actively mentor our globally distributed developers, providing technical guidance and fostering a learning culture focused on AI tool adoption, clean code practices, and modern software design.

DevOps & CI/CD: You will collaborate on optimizing our build and deployment pipelines by integrating AI-enhanced review and testing steps to streamline our delivery process.

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.
