What you'll buildSince 2018, we have delivered the most trusted AI systems operating in real-world use cases-providing a layer of assurance underneath hundreds of deployed models that monitors performance, manages drift, and sustains systems long after they leave the lab.
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you are where the platform meets the mission. Our systems stay online and reliable in the field because of what you build, automate, and maintain. Working across teams, you'll define what needs to be built; you'll then deploy it and keep it running across commercial, unclassified, CUI, and classified DOD networks. When there's a problem without an owner, you take responsibility for it. New technologies are yours to explore, and the engineers behind you will learn from watching you work.
