AI Developer and Engineer

AI Developer and EngineerThe Opportunity:

Are you ready to build the infrastructure and systems that power next-generation artificial intelligence? Rapid advances in large language models (LLMs) and intelligent automation are transforming missions across the government and commercial sectors, but these models are only as capable as the architectures supporting them. At Booz Allen, you can apply your systems engineering, infrastructure design, and full-stack development experience to design, deploy, and operationalize high-performance AI systems that integrate seamlessly into complex enterprise client environments.

On our team, you’ll architect robust, scalable networks and computing platforms tailored for the demands of modern AI workloads. Using your technical depth and problem-solving drive, you’ll design low-latency data pipelines, configure distributed compute clusters, and bridge cutting-edge LLMs with existing legacy frameworks. You’ll collaborate closely with data scientists, systems engineers, and client stakeholders to evaluate emerging AI technologies, optimize network throughput, and ensure enterprise-grade security and reliability across diverse operational environments.

In this role, you’ll help guide a forward-thinking technical team as it delivers high-impact, mission-driven AI capabilities. By balancing innovation with architectural rigor, you will solve critical integration bottlenecks, establish MLOps best practices, and scale intelligent systems that empower clients to make data-driven decisions faster and more effectively.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
