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)
  • Lead the design and implementation of advanced AI/ML features, pipelines, and model-driven capabilities, including architecting data flows, directing experimentation, and overseeing deployment of models into secure production environments.
  • Architect and optimize event-driven and microservice-based systems, developing high-performance components that leverage platforms like Apache Kafka for mission-critical real-time processing.
  • Drive the development of cloud-native solutions across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, guiding containerization strategies, Kubernetes deployment patterns, and infrastructure-as-code implementations.
  • Champion DevSecOps best practices by defining CI/CD architectures, implementing automated test frameworks, and maturing infrastructure automation across multiple enclaves.
  • Ensure solutions align with open/reference architectures and interface standards; make architectural recommendations that influence long-term technical direction across mission systems.
  • Provide senior-level leadership within Agile teams-leading design reviews, shaping architectural decisions, evaluating technical trade space, and coordinating efforts across multiple stakeholder groups.
  • Produce high-quality technical documentation and deliver clear, concise briefings to senior stakeholders, mission owners, and engineering leadership.

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.
  • Are comfortable working across the stack-from data pipelines to model deployment to cloud infrastructure.

Responsibilities (Expanded)
  • Architect, build, and optimize robust batch and streaming data pipelines supporting feature engineering, training workflows, cross-domain data movement, and operational telemetry.
  • Lead Kubernetes-based deployments, defining configuration standards, scaling strategies, observability patterns, and resilience mechanisms across multi-cluster and multi-enclave environments.
  • Design and tune Kafka ecosystems-topics, schemas, consumer groups-and develop scalable stream-processing solutions to support mission-critical analytics.
  • Lead development of automated ML workflows (Airflow, Prefect, etc.) for training, evaluation, versioning, deployment, rollback, and lifecycle governance.
  • Define and mature CI/CD automation frameworks ensuring hardened builds, intelligent test automation, security scanning, artifact governance, and reliable multi-environment release processes.
  • Develop and maintain architectural and compliance documentation aligned with Government Reference Architectures and mission integration standards.
  • Provide technical oversight, mentor junior and mid-level engineers, guide code and design reviews, and contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, toolchains, and architectural patterns.

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.

Security Clearance
  • United States citizenship is required with the ability to obtain a secret security clearance
