AI & Security Process Engineer - USDS
About the position Responsibilities • Design and Develop AI Agents: Architect, build, and deploy robust, multi-step AI agents capable of complex reasoning, tool use, and decision-making using frameworks like LangChain, AutoGen, or CrewAI. • Develop and integrate agentic systems using LLMs, RAG, and tool-use/function-calling frameworks to automate or accelerate complex tasks for end-users. • Deep, practical experience with the end-to-end RAG lifecycle, from designing chunking and hybrid retrieval strategies for domain-specific data to implementing agentic design patterns. • Translate user needs into robust, autonomous workflows that can reason, plan, and execute actions. • Equip agents with the ability to interact with external systems by integrating APIs, databases, and other data sources to enable real-world action and information retrieval. • Develop and implement advanced agentic patterns such as ReAct (Reasoning and Acting), plan-and-execute, and multi-agent collaboration to solve complex, open-ended problems. • Establish rigorous metrics to evaluate agent performance, reliability, and efficiency. Continuously iterate on agent design, prompting strategies, and model choice to improve outcomes. • Fine-tune and adapt foundational LLMs to enhance their capabilities for specific agentic tasks and domains. • Implement and refine Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to provide agents with relevant, up-to-date context. • Work closely with product managers, data scientists, and other engineers to define requirements, identify opportunities for automation, and integrate agentic solutions into our core products and internal workflows. • Keep up-to-date with the latest advancements in agentic AI, LLMs, and autonomous systems, and champion the adoption of new techniques and technologies within the team. Requirements • Strong software engineering skills. • Deep knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs). • Experience in a mature cyber security operations space or familiarity with systems integration and business process development. • Experience developing AI or automation-enabled solutions to complex analytic and process problems.
