# Applied AI Engineer

About Lumbra Lumbra builds the vendor-neutral operating system for agentic AI in high-consequence environments. In our first ten months we won four fully competed prime contracts across the U.S. Government, every one of them deploying into classified spaces. We are live on JWICS. We were selected from a field of 200+ companies for a defense innovation challenge and won it. We beat two established defense primes on the same program and earned the follow-on, now in execution. About the Role Nebula, our agentic harness, turns days of manual synthesis into minutes of analysis for analysts across the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense. Whether that is true on a given day comes down to the intelligence layer: how agents reason, retrieve, call tools, and produce output an analyst can trust. We want an Applied AI Engineer to turn models into product features that analysts actually use. You build agents, retrieval, and tool integrations into Nebula, you prove they work with evaluation rather than demos, and you ship them as production code. This role is on site in New York City. It is not eligible for remote or hybrid work. How the Role Is Structured ~60% building. Agent b
