AI-enabled Software Refactoring Engineer

AI-enabled Software Refactoring Engineer

The Opportunity: 

As a programmer, you know that machine learning is critical to understanding and processing massive datasets. Your ability to conduct statistical analyses on business processes using ML techniques makes you an integral part of delivering a customer-focused solution. We need your technical knowledge and desire to problem-solve to support AI-enabled software re-engineering. As a machine learning engineer on our Navy and Marine Corps team, you’ll train, test, deploy, and maintain models that learn from data.  

In this role, you’ll modernize mission-critical solutions by applying best-fit AI and ML algorithms and technologies to transform legacy codebases into robust, scalable solutions that help ensure Navy combat systems remain effective. You’ll grow within a large community of machine learning engineers across the company and collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, solutions architects, and product owners to deliver world-class solutions. Your skills and technical experience will help your clients navigate the landscape of AI and ML algorithms, tools, and frameworks. 

This role is more than just coding. You’ll work on a small, embedded software development team that performs hands-on analysis of legacy system complexity, deployment of advanced development tools, and integration of modernized solutions. As an experienced software engineer, you’ll engage with the client daily to execute targeted refactoring and system enhancements.

We are looking for a Software Refactoring Engineer with a strong foundation in C++ and practical experience integrating AI and ML technologies. This role is ideal for engineers who are passionate about revitalizing legacy software systems, enhancing code efficiency, and enabling high-performance computing in AI-enabled applications. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams across software, AI, ML, and systems engineering to modernize mission-critical codebases.

Work with us to solve real-world challenges and define ML strategy for the Navy and Marine Corps.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
