Everforth ECS is seeking an AI Solutions Engineer to work in our Arlington, VA office/remotely.
Our Philosophy
We believe AI only creates value when it’s grounded in a real business problem, not deployed for its own sake. This role isn’t about deep model research, it’s about understanding what enterprise customers actually need, then designing and integrating AI solutions that work in practice inside a regulated GovCloud environment. We’re looking for someone who can move fluidly between technical teams and program stakeholders, translating both directions, and who treats testing and iteration as part of the job, not an afterthought.
About the Role

You’ll work directly with technical teams and federal customer stakeholders to identify where AI can solve real problems, then build solutions that hold up in a FedRAMP environments.
