About the Role

Join a small engineering team building AI-powered software for law enforcement and other high-stakes public safety work. You will design and deploy systems that help investigators search and analyze complex evidence, contributing directly to tools used in serious investigations.

What You'll Do

• Build resilient, secure distributed systems that support AI-driven evidence search and analysis.

• Deploy large language models, vision models, and other machine learning systems in production environments.

• Design retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and semantic search infrastructure for unstructured evidence.

• Architect structured data systems, including query planning and semantic reasoning layers.

• Build or work with agentic systems that reason, plan, and take actions across investigative data.

• Evaluate emerging AI models and infrastructure approaches, and drive solutions from idea through deployment.

What We're Looking For

• At least 6 years of backend engineering experience building distributed systems, including production deployment of LLMs, vision models, or other machine learning systems.

• Proficiency in multiple programming languages, including Python, and experience with JavaScript and React.

• Experience building secure, resilient systems across multiple infrastructure providers.

• Hands-on experience with RAG or similar pipelines for unstructured data, plus structured data systems involving query planning, semantic modeling, or reasoning.

• Experience with established technical organizations and early-stage startups is valued, along with a history of sustained contributions in roles.

• Agentic AI experience and interest in public safety technology are helpful.

• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
