AI Software Developer, Senior

About this role

AI Software Developer, Senior The Opportunity: Are you looking to bring strong hands-on technical skills , including sof tware and integration, to cybersecurity and mission challenges affecting Navy efforts in the San Diego region? Our team is a skilled group that partners deeply with clients and mission stakeholders: we clarify the problem, shape technical approaches, and deliver practical outcomes in secure, compliant settings. This is not a typical role on a large sof tware product team. It is a multidisciplinary environment where you may move between advisory conversations, solution and implementation planning, and focused integration and implementation, including AI-enabled automation and analytics where they reduce risk and improve speed and quality of cyber and mission workflows.

You will work with cybersecurity spe cia lists, engineers, and partners supporting Navy customers and warfare center s. Success requires curiosity, ownership, and comfort learning in classified or controlled environments. We value clear communication, sound judgment, and the ability to translate between mission language and technical reality, always with security, RMF, and operational constraints in view.

With mentorship and hands-on problem-solving, we deliver outcomes that reduce cyber risk and support the fleet and ashore enterprise. Work with us to modernize Navy cyber missions through responsible use of data, automation, and AI.

What You’ll Do: • Understand the client and the problem: participate in discussions with mission and technical partners to clarify objectives, constraints, and security or compliance boun dari es. • Shape solutions: contribute to technical approaches, tradeoff analysis, and implementation plans such as what to build or integrate, how to phase work, and what evidence or controls matter. • Deliver hands-on technical work: design, implement, test, and troubleshoot scripts, services, APIs, or automation, including AI / LLM-assisted workflows where appropriate, so recommendations are credible and deployable, not slide-only. • Integrate systems and data: work with REST / HTTP APIs, data stores, and enterprise or cloud patterns to connect capabilities safely and repeatably. • Document and communicate: produce clear artifacts for technical and non-technical audiences such as design notes, limitations, operational implications, or security- relevant behaviors. • Respect the cyber context: align work with RMF, control expectations, and secure engineering practices, and partner with cybersecurity and authorization stakeholders. • Improve how we work: use version control, review practices, and lightweight testing appropriate to the e nga gement, and stay current on responsible AI expectations in government settings.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
