AI Developer - Agentic AI, React/Python

Position Summary:

Title: AI Native Developer

Duration: 6 Months – Possible Extension

Location: Washington, DC 20433

Hybrid Onsite: 4 days per week from Day 1, with a full transition to 100% onsite anticipated soon

Job Requirement:

AI-first engineering mindset: Able to decide when to use traditional code versus large language models or AI agents. Designs for probabilistic AI behavior, fallback approaches, human review, and cost, latency, and reliability trade-offs.

Generative AI development: Hands-on experience integrating large language models into production applications, prompt engineering, structured outputs, retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings/vector search, context management, and evaluation for hallucination and response quality.

Rapid AI solution development: Comfortable with modern AI development platforms, APIs, and tooling to rapidly prototype, iterate, and deploy working AI capabilities into real systems.

Agentic AI: Experience designing agents with goals and constraints, orchestration patterns, tool/API calling, state and memory management, guardrails, failure recovery, and behavioral monitoring.

Full-stack engineering: Backend experience with REST/GraphQL APIs, secure services, data models, asynchronous processing, and enterprise integrations; frontend experience with modern frameworks such as React and AI-specific user experiences such as streaming responses, explainability, review/edit/retry/approve interactions.

Cloud-native development: Containers and managed services, continuous integration and deployment for AI components, secure secrets/key management, performance optimization, and cost-aware AI design.

Enterprise AI reliability and security: Sensitive-data protection, data leakage risks, bias/safety/misuse considerations, auditability, traceability, and graceful degradation when AI fails.

System thinking: Break ambiguous problems into components, build end-to-end systems rather than demos, balance rapid iteration with maintainability, and think in architectures.
