We are seeking an Intelligence Pipeline Engineer to join our growing team. This role blends intelligence tradecraft, operational data engineering, AI-driven workflows, and real-time mission support.
This role is designed for professionals who can independently own operational intelligence workflows, drive pipeline optimization efforts, operationalize AI-enabled capabilities, and collaborate cross-functionally to support mission-critical operations.
Key Responsibilities- Design, configure, maintain, and optimize operational intelligence collection pipelines supporting real-time monitoring and alerting workflows
- Independently build, curate, tune, and manage structured datasets, collection logic, enrichment workflows, and operational intelligence pipelines
- Develop and refine advanced collection strategies using Boolean logic, heuristics, metadata enrichment, tagging frameworks, geospatial filtering, and signal scoring methodologies
- Drive continuous improvements in signal quality, workflow efficiency, operational relevance, and data reliability
- Deploy, evaluate, monitor, and optimize AI/ML and computer vision models supporting operational intelligence workflows
- Develop, test, and refine LLM-driven workflows, prompt frameworks, and AI-assisted alerting systems
- Support multimodal intelligence workflows integrating text, image, video, metadata, geospatial, and behavioral signals into actionable operational insights
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Customer Success, and mission stakeholders to operationalize new capabilities and improve workflows
- Lead operational troubleshooting, pipeline hardening, workflow optimization, and issue resolution efforts
- Identify emerging collection opportunities, platform shifts, operational risks, and regional digital ecosystem changes
- Contribute to operational standards, workflow documentation, and best practices for intelligence pipeline engineering
- Mentor junior team members supporting operational intelligence workflows
- Uphold classification, security, legal, and ethical standards for government-facing operational environments
Required Qualifications- Active TS/SCI clearance preferred or ability to obtain and maintain one
- 8+ years of experience supporting DoD, Intelligence Community, defense contractor, or related operational intelligence environments
- Experience designing, operating, or optimizing intelligence collection workflows, operational monitoring pipelines, or AI-assisted analytical systems
- Strong understanding of OSINT methodologies, operational collection strategies, and intelligence tradecraft
- Advanced experience building and refining Boolean logic, heuristic filtering, operational tagging systems, or enrichment workflows
- Familiarity with AI/ML concepts including NLP, clustering, anomaly detection, entity extraction, computer vision, or multimodal analysis
- Ability to independently manage competing operational priorities in dynamic mission environments
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with Python, SQL, APIs, workflow orchestration, or scripting for operational automation and pipeline management
- Experience supporting real-time operational monitoring and mission-critical alerting systems
- Familiarity with AI-assisted analytical workflows, prompt engineering, or operational LLM integration
- Experience collaborating with engineering or product teams to operationalize new capabilities
- Experience mentoring analysts or engineers in operational intelligence environments
- Familiarity with foreign social media ecosystems and globally distributed information environments relevant to defense missions
