  • Document technical artifacts and contribute to iterative prototyping cycles used across Navy portfolios.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 7+ years of hands‑on experience in AI/ML model development and data engineering.
  • Proficiency with Python, SQL, cloud services (Azure, AWS GovCloud), and AI/ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit‑learn).
  • Experience building and deploying ML models in secure DoD/IC environments.
  • Experience supporting Navy, NAVWAR, NIWC, or related Defense organizations.
  • Understanding of DevSecOps pipelines, CI/CD, security scanning, and automated deployment.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work with mission users and technical SMEs.
  • Experience with Snowflake AI Data Cloud, Cortex AI, Databricks, or Advana/Jupiter platforms.
  • Experience supporting Navy training systems, HR modernization pipelines, readiness analytics, or C4I environments.
  • Familiarity with SCCA cloud environments, Flank Speed integration patterns, and role‑based access controls.
  • Experience with semantic layer development, analytics pipelines, or operational decision‑support systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
