Job description
from Johns Hopkins APL careersAre you passionate about applying hands-on expertise to build and deliver artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions?
Are you looking to tackle a wide range of complex problems in a field that is evolving faster than almost any other in technology?
Do you have a strong desire to collaborate and work within a team of highly skilled researchers?
If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!
We are seeking a highly motivated AI/ML platform engineer who will contribute to solving cutting edge challenges that didn’t exist until recently — integrating agents with enterprise tools, fine-tuning models for regulated use cases, and building the operational discipline that keeps AI systems reliable as the underlying technology changes monthly. You will be joining a team of engineers and scientists who are at the forefront of APL's mission to provide innovative solutions to critical challenges in the area of missile defense.
As an AI/ML Platform Engineer...
- You will work at the intersection of software engineering, data science, and machine learning, to turn experimental models into scalable, operation-ready solutions.
- You will design and build multi-agent and single-agent systems using modern open-source frameworks (e.g.: LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and their successors) that automate and augment work across our enterprise and developer tools.
