Applied AI Engineer

Who Are We? Groundswell is a premier technology integrator and solution provider, resolutely committed to solving the most complex challenges facing federal agencies today. Our name, Groundswell, represents our commitment to be an unstoppable, seismic change in government.

Ours is a small company culture with big company reach and results. Are you ready to be audacious, be bold and drive change at a rapid pace? Join us, where we’ll make a greater impact together.

What You'll do: We are looking for an engineer who can take a business problem, define both the requirements and the technical approach, and deliver the result, including recognizing when AI is not the right solution. This is a hands-on role with substantial autonomy. You will own capabilities end to end, covering the discovery conversation, the design, the build, the evidence that the capability performs, and its operation after release.

You should be comfortable moving between them, and comfortable being the most AI-literate person in a room that includes engineers, executives, and end users.

This is an emerging leadership role. You will be the person engineers consult when they are new to AI, and the person clients ask about what is coming next. Maintaining current knowledge of the field is part of the role rather than something
