Hiring: Applied AI Engineer- REMOTE / Requires a Public Trust clearance Company: Art Of Intelligence Location: Washington DC-Baltimore Area Job Posted Time: 2026-09-11 18:04:43 Employment Type: Remote Target Skills & Keywords : Azure, Azure AD, CI/CD, Go, Infrastructure as Code, Make, RAG, Rust About the job Experience: •6 years post-degree, or a PhD plus some engineering experience. Required Skills: •Design, build, and run AI-backed services on the client's cloud. The chatbot is first; more will follow. •Own the platform underneath them: infrastructure as code, automated tests, CI/CD, monitoring, and access controls that hold up in a federal environment. We're mostly on Azure and lean on its managed services to keep things simple; any cloud background transfers. •Set up evaluation from day one: a test set, the right metrics, and a clear go/no-go before we invest further. •Explain tradeoffs to a non-technical client and make practical calls when the data is incomplete. Qualifications: •Scientific rigor. You know how to design an experiment, split data properly, and tell signal from noise. •Solid engineering. You've built and shipped software other people depend on, and you care about how it's built. •Working AI knowledge. You understand how people actually use chatbots, how to get better answers out of them, and the tradeoffs in retrieval (chunking, embeddings, reranking). Having built a RAG is a plus, not a requirement; so is ML training experience. •Mid. Roughly 3–6 years post-degree, or a PhD plus some engineering experience.
