Defense Unicorns is seeking a senior AI Agentic Engineer to embed with a government team and its technology partners building an emerging AI-powered engineering ecosystem.
This role will focus on designing, integrating, and operationalizing AI agents and agentic workflows within a secure enterprise environment. The engineer will work across large language models, agent frameworks, enterprise data, APIs, developer tooling, and platform services to turn AI capabilities into reliable, mission-relevant workflows.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who understands both the capabilities and limitations of modern AI systems and can rapidly translate emerging technologies into working solutions. They should be comfortable experimenting with new models and agent frameworks, integrating agents with enterprise systems and tools, evaluating performance and reliability, and working alongside platform engineers and commercial technology partners.
This is not a research-only role. The focus is on moving from AI concepts and prototypes to secure, useful, repeatable agentic capabilities that can operate in production environments.
