We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made - not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking for an AI/ML Software Engineer to play a foundational role in building and deploying AI-powered solutions for our core product. You’ll work across the full AI/ML lifecycle, from defining and building models to evaluating and deploying large-scale ML pipelines and real-time inference systems, while partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful, real-world AI applications.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild and Deploy AI/ML Models\nOwn and develop an AI model aligned with our core product needs within your first three months.\n\nValidate AI-driven product features through real-world testing and feedback from warfighters.\n\nEstablish scalable MLOps pipelines and real-time inference services to streamline model training, deployment, runtime, and monitoring.\n\nOwn high model reliability and uptime by implementing monitoring across your work.\n\nData Collection & Processing\nIdentify and integrate structured, unstructured, batch, and real-time data sources.\n\nWork with internal logs, APIs, user interactions, and third-party datasets to improve training data quality.\n\nContinuous Improvement & Best Practices\nStay ahead of emerging AI trends and technologies to improve model performance.\n\nDocument and share AI/ML development best practices.\n\nContribute to the hiring and mentoring of AI/ML talent as we grow our team.\n\nHelp the wider team understand the latest trends and the significance of novel approaches in AI.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nStrong Programming Skills\nExpertise in at least one: Python, C++, or C.\n\nML Framework Proficiency\nHands-on experience with AI/ML training and fine-tuning frameworks, including:\nPyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA, Jupyter Notebooks\n\nLarge Language Models (LLMs) and Open-Source Models (Llama, Anthropic, Mistral)\n\nLangChain, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Hugging Face, Exo Labs\n\nMLOps & Data Engineering Knowledge\nExperience with data processing and pipeline frameworks such as Apache Kafka, Apache Airflow, AWS Kinesis, pandas, and dbt.\n\nUnderstanding of AI model performance monitoring, data drift detection, and observability tools like Grafana or Kibana.\n\nAI Fundamentals & Security Awareness\nDeep understanding of deep neural networks (DNNs), LLMs, over/underfitting, prompt engineering, and LLM security (jailbreaking risks and protections).\n\nGrowth Mindset\nA passion for continuous learning, staying current with the latest advancements in AI/ML, and teaching others\n\nBonus Points\nExperience mentoring and upskilling junior engineers.\n\nFamiliarity with legacy systems and working with public sector customers.\n\nContributions to open-source (AI/ML) projects.\n\nMission and Identity\nWe are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.\nOur mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent - you'll fit in here.\nWhy Gallatin?\nThe logistics infrastructure that supports America's warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it. From defense operations to disaster response, we're solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most. Join a team where the mission is the point.\nCompensation: Gallatin offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location. In addition to base salary, we offer a generous equity grant, full healthcare coverage, 401k, unlimited PTO, and the perks of working in a high-caliber, mission-driven environment.\nGallatin is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.\nThis position may require the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. The successful candidate must be able to work in a classified environment when necessary.\nWe comply with the United States Department of Labor's Pay Transparency provision.\nNote: Due to the nature of certain government contracts held by this organization, U.S. citizenship is a requirement for all positions at Gallatin. Proof of citizenship will be required prior to employment if selected.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5273,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Continuous learning","Equity","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Military","Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T22:47:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":32,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.717,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":290,"expected_fill_days":257,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gallatin-ai-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gallatin-ai-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T16:02:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4014,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673248},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673248"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgallatin-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgallatin-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgallatin-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gallatin-ai-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgallatin-ai-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":674885}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"gallatin.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":674885},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
