AI Engineer (Agent Developer)

At Endyna, Inc., we serve the public interest by providing technical, scientific, and management services to federal agencies. For our newly awarded EPA Contract A123, we are seeking a highly skilled and motivated AI Engineer to join our team. You will play a central role in designing, developing, and deploying intelligent systems to assist in workflow automation, fraud detection, and resource optimization.

Position Summary

The AI Engineer (AIE) will lead the design and implementation of AI-powered agents and systems using state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) and machine learning techniques. This position will be instrumental in building tools to ingest multimodal data (text, images, structured data), perform reasoning, and generate multimodal outputs. The work will support grants management functions such as detecting waste, fraud, or abuse, and optimizing internal workflows.

The AIE will collaborate closely with domain experts, engineers, data scientists, and EPA stakeholders to deliver robust, scalable solutions that further the mission of the agency.

Key Responsibilities

Architect, develop, and maintain AI agents and applications using modern LLMs, reinforcement learning, or hybrid reasoning systems

Ingest, preprocess, and fuse multimodal data sources (e.g., text, tabular, image, sensor)

Develop supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised machine learning models tailored to domain tasks

Build and maintain APIs, microservices, and integration layers to support deployment of agent capabilities

Design reasoning and decision-making pipelines within agents (e.g. planning, constraint solving, sequential decision-making)

Generate multimodal outputs (e.g. reports, visualizations, alerts, summaries)

Develop and monitor metrics for agent performance, drift detection, and model validation

Collaborate with grants / compliance / audit teams to understand domain needs (waste, fraud, abuse)

Conduct code reviews, write documentation, and apply best practices in software engineering and ML operations

Stay current with advances in AI/ML, and recommend new tools and architectures for incorporation

Required Skills & Experience

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field required; Master's degree preferred

Formal training in machine learning, artificial intelligence, or related field

Proven experience developing AI/ML systems, ideally in production

Hands-on experience with modern LLMs (e.g. OpenAI, GPT, LLaMA, etc.) or similar large-scale language models

Strong proficiency in Python, and familiarity with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, etc.)

Experience developing APIs, microservices, and deployment tooling

Expertise in data ingestion, feature engineering, and multimodal fusion

Experience with both supervised and unsupervised learning methods

Familiarity with reasoning, planning, or hybrid AI systems

Experience in workflow optimization, anomaly detection, fraud/waste/abuse detection (especially in a government or financial domain) is a plus

Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a team environment

Security, Clearances & Additional Requirements

Must be a U.S. citizen or meet required eligibility for government contracts

Ability to obtain and maintain any required security clearance or background check

Willingness to adhere to contract-specific security, compliance, and auditing protocols

Ability and willingness to travel occasionally, if required by contract (e.g. EPA site visits)

Benefits & Perks

Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.

Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents.

401(k) with employer match.

Paid time off (PTO) and holidays.

Short-term and long-term disability coverage and life insurance.

Free parking and close access to public transit.
