Develop secure, data-rich frontend features using React and TypeScript for a DoD mission-planning platform. Integrate UIs with backend APIs, support map-based and AI-enabled decision-support workflows, write unit/integration tests, participate in code reviews and security remediation, and collaborate with cross-functional teams with periodic onsite sprint planning in Laurel, MD.

Integrate LLMs, RAG, and agentic-AI into secure decision-support software. Design prompts and inference workflows, connect AI to backend services, evaluate outputs, build tests, document designs, and collaborate with engineering, security, and DevSecOps teams to deliver reliable mission-capable AI features.

Build, test, and integrate secure backend services and APIs for DoD mission-planning. Work on REST and gRPC services, asynchronous workflows, geospatial databases, containerized deployments, CI/CD, automated tests, and vulnerability remediation while collaborating with AI/ML, frontend, and cybersecurity teams.
