Summary

Mission Impact

At MTSI, you'll architect and deliver AI/ML-enabled, cloud-native mission software that operates across platforms, weapons, and terrestrial systems. Your work will modernize enterprise and event-driven architectures, enabling rapid, secure capability delivery to the warfighter in highly contested environments.

What You'll Do (Day-to-Day)
  • Support the design and development of AI/ML solutions, including preparing training data, running experiments, and helping deploy models into production workflows.
  • Contribute to event-driven and microservice-based systems by building and testing small components that integrate with platforms such as Apache Kafka.
  • Assist in building and maintaining cloud-native applications on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform using containerization and Kubernetes.
  • Participate in DevSecOps processes by helping configure CI/CD pipelines, set up automated tests, and support infrastructure automation.
  • Work within open/reference architectures and follow interface standards to ensure interoperability across mission systems.
  • Collaborate on Agile teams (Scrum/Kanban); attend standups, planning sessions, design reviews, and technical discussions with Government and industry partners.
  • Draft technical notes, contribute to documentation, and support briefings to senior engineers and stakeholders.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You...
  • Are eager to grow your AI/ML engineering skills and enjoy turning algorithms or prototypes into reliable, maintainable code.
  • Are curious about event-driven architectures, resilient systems, and real-time data streaming.
  • Thrive in collaborative, fast-paced Agile environments and enjoy learning from peers and senior engineers.

Responsibilities (Expanded)
  • Develop and maintain data pipelines (batch or streaming) that support model training, feature extraction, and system telemetry.
  • Assist in managing Kubernetes-based environments (deployments, health checks, basic scaling strategies).
  • Help configure and monitor Kafka topics, schemas, and consumer groups under guidance from senior engineers.
  • Support automated workflows (Airflow, Prefect, etc.) for model training, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines through build/test setup, security scanning, and artifact management tasks.
  • Help prepare documentation to demonstrate compliance with Government Reference Architectures and technical interface standards.
  • Participate in team learning, code reviews, and continuous improvement activities; proactively seek mentorship and share knowledge as you grow.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
  • Professional software experience
  • Experience building cloud-native solutions on AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform; understanding of IaaS/PaaS, networking, security, and cost management.
  • Hands-on Kubernetes experience: container orchestration, Helm, ingress, service mesh, scaling, and troubleshooting.
  • Practical AI/ML delivery experience: model lifecycle (data prep, training, validation, deployment, monitoring) and MLOps practices.
  • Proven Agile experience (Scrum/Kanban) and toolchains (e.g., Jira/Confluence) for planning, tracking, and documentation.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals (design patterns, testing, code reviews) and proficiency with at least one of: Python, Java, C++.

Preferred/Bonus
  • Kubernetes certification (CKA, CKAD, or CKS).
  • Experience with stream processing frameworks (Kafka Streams, Flink, Spark Streaming).
  • MLOps platforms (SageMaker, Vertex AI, MLflow) and feature stores.
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), container security, and SBOM/zero-trust practices.
