This role focuses on integrating approved foundation models and managed AI services through reusable APIs, agentic workflows, and developer-facing tools rather than developing foundation models from scratch.\nThe ideal candidate combines strong software engineering and cloud expertise with experience integrating AI services into secure, automated workflows. The engineer will collaborate with platform, DevSecOps, identity, cybersecurity, and operations teams to deliver reliable, auditable, and secure AI-enabled capabilities.\nResponsibilities\nAI/ML Platform and Model-Service Integration\nIntegrate approved foundation models and managed AI services, including AWS Bedrock or comparable platforms, into enterprise applications and workflows.\n\nDevelop reusable APIs, service wrappers, and integration patterns that enable consistent access to model capabilities.\n\nImplement configurable model-selection and integration approaches that support model updates without requiring extensive changes to consuming applications.\n\nSupport deployment and integration within cloud and restricted environments where approved AI services are available.\n\nAgentic Workflow Engineering\nDesign and implement agentic workflows to automate repeatable platform engineering, service management, and operational processes.\n\nIntegrate AI agents with approved tools and APIs, including IT service management platforms, source control systems, infrastructure automation, knowledge repositories, and observability services.\n\nEstablish appropriate workflow boundaries, approval requirements, tool permissions, auditability, and failure-handling mechanisms.\n\nDevelop reusable automation components for account provisioning, access requests, environment deployment, incident enrichment, technical documentation retrieval, and other approved use cases.\n\nDeveloper Assistance and Self-Service Automation\nDevelop and maintain AI-powered developer assistants, chat interfaces, and low-code/no-code capabilities.\n\nConnect developer-facing tools to approved technical documentation, platform guidance, service catalogs, code examples, and engineering resources.\n\nIntegrate AI assistance into development workflows while protecting credentials, sensitive information, and privileged platform functions.\n\nCollaborate with platform and developer-support teams to identify repetitive requests that can be addressed through self-service tools and guided automation.\n\nSecurity and Enterprise Platform Integration\nIntegrate AI services with identity and access management, role- and attribute-based access controls, service identities, secrets management, and audit mechanisms.\n\nEnforce established security boundaries, access policies, and tenant isolation requirements across AI services and agent workflows.\n\nCoordinate with cybersecurity teams to implement appropriate guardrails, data-handling controls, logging, and authorization requirements.\n\nInstrument AI services and automated workflows to support monitoring of availability, usage, failures, latency, and performance.\n\nSoftware Engineering and Lifecycle Support\nMaintain AI platform components, workflow definitions, prompts, tool integrations, and configuration through source control and established engineering review processes.\n\nDevelop automated tests and evaluation scenarios to validate critical workflows before deployment to operational environments.\n\nTroubleshoot model-service integrations, agent behavior, workflow failures, and developer-assistance capabilities.\n\nEvaluate approved model and service updates and coordinate controlled implementation with AI/ML operations, assurance, and platform engineering teams.\n\nQualifications\nRequired Qualifications\nActive TS/SCI clearance with CI Polygraph.\n\nBS/BA and 5 years of experience, an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.\nApproximately 5-8 years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, cloud engineering, workflow automation, applied AI/ML engineering, or a related technical discipline.\n\nHands-on experience integrating applications with foundation models or managed AI services through APIs.\n\nStrong software development or scripting skills in Python or a comparable programming language.\n\nExperience developing workflow automation that integrates with external tools, services, or APIs.\n\nExperience with AWS services and cloud-native application development patterns.\n\nFamiliarity with Git-based development, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and modern software delivery practices.\n\nUnderstanding of authentication, authorization, secrets management, and secure service integration.\n\nDemonstrated troubleshooting skills across distributed applications and automated workflows.\n\nAbility to collaborate effectively with software, platform, cybersecurity, and operations teams.\n\nDesired Qualifications\nHands-on experience with AWS Bedrock or comparable managed foundation-model services.\n\nFamiliarity with Bedrock Agents or other agent-orchestration frameworks.\n\nExperience implementing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) using approved enterprise data sources.\n\nExperience integrating ServiceNow, GitLab, or comparable enterprise platforms through APIs.\n\nFamiliarity with Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or other infrastructure automation tools.\n\nExperience with OpenTelemetry or comparable application instrumentation and observability tools.\n\nFamiliarity with Kubernetes and container orchestration.\n\nExperience working in classified, restricted, or otherwise highly regulated cloud environments.\n\nExperience evaluating and testing large language model (LLM) applications, prompts, and agentic workflows.\n\nPeraton Overview\nPeraton is a next-generation national security company
