Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Engineer, Mid

Booz Allen Hamilton
McLean, VA2026-03-27Full time

About the job

As an experienced AI and ML engineer, you will help develop and operationalize secure, scalable, production-grade AI solutions that sustain and advance mission-critical capabilities. You will work as part of a cross-functional team, collaborating with data engineers, data scientists, solution architects, and product owners to deliver high-impact AI and ML solutions across a broad range of use cases.

Responsibilities

Modernize and operate an end-to-end, AI-driven platform built on Databricks, Palantir, Amazon Bedrock, and custom AI and ML models.

Sustain and enhance batch and streaming data pipelines, improve data quality, lineage, and observability, and partner with data engineers and subject matter experts (SMEs) to define data contracts and feature pipelines.

Modernize legacy case selection capabilities by decomposing them into scalable services and operationalizing rules and model-driven scoring, prioritization, routing, and human-in-the-loop review.

Build and operate production-grade ML pipelines with strong MLOps practices, including versioning, CI/CD, monitoring, drift detection, explainability, and fairness, and integrate with shared enterprise services using API-first and event-driven patterns.

Harden the platform to meet security and compliance requirements, including ATO, produce architecture and operational documentation, and collaborate closely with product, fraud, and case management teams in an Agile delivery environment.

Qualifications

Minimum

Experience building, deploying, and operating production ML models such as supervised, unsupervised, and anomaly detection, including techniques for imbalanced datasets

Experience with ML engineering and MLOps, including model versioning, CI/CD for ML, monitoring, drift detection, and automated retraining

Experience with Python and ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow

Experience with Palantir and data engineering platforms such as Databricks, Spark, or SQL, and batch and streaming pipelines

Experience improving data quality, lineage, and observability in enterprise data environments and operationalizing rules and model-driven scoring for prioritization, routing, or case selection

Experience with API-first and event-driven integration patterns, including secure service-to-service communication

Knowledge of responsible AI practices, including explainability, fairness, and bias assessment

Ability to design and document architecture artifacts, data contracts, and operational runbooks

Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust or Suitability/Fitness determination based on client requirements

Preferred

Experience working in Agile delivery environments, collaborating with product owners, SMEs, and engineering teams

Experience with fraud detection, risk analytics, or case selection in government, tax, or financial domains

Experience with Amazon Bedrock and integrating custom AI models into enterprise workflows

Experience deploying ML solutions in AWS GovCloud or other regulated cloud environments

Experience with federal ATO processes, continuous compliance, and operating systems under FISMA controls

Experience in enterprise modernization programs such as cloud migration, microservices, API strategy, and DevSecOps

Knowledge of graph-based analytics and advanced anomaly detection techniques
