Job description
Agentic AI Engineer & Technical Manager The Opportunity:
AI capabilities are moving quickly from experimentation to operational use, and successful delivery requires more than strong technical ideas. It takes clear direction, thoughtful engineering, and a team that can turn complex requirements into reliable solutions. As an Agentic AI Engineer & Technical Manager, you’ll help lead that work from initial design through production delivery.
In this role, you’ll provide hands-on technical leadership across AI agents, applications, data integration, and cloud technologies. You’ll help establish architecture direction, mentor developers, review technical work, coordinate stakeholders, and keep delivery focused on meaningful outcomes.
You’ll work alongside engineers, data specialists, cloud and security professionals, and mission stakeholders to translate priorities into practical solutions. If you’re a hands-on technical leader who enjoys helping teams solve difficult problems and deliver capabilities that matter, we invite you to join us.
What You’ll Work On:
Lead the technical design, development, testing, deployment, and sustainment of AI agents and AI-enabled applications.
Define agent architectures that incorporate orchestration, tool use, state management, error handling, evaluation, observability, and operational support.
Lead the integration of mission and enterprise data with large language models using RAG, MCP, secure tool access, prompt management, and context engineering.
Guide the development of Node.js applications, dashboards, and user interfaces that securely consume Oracle Database data.
Oversee the integration of geospatial intelligence data, including raster and vector data, spatial context, metadata, and analytic results.
Establish engineering practices, review technical products, mentor developers, and promote consistent approaches across the team.
Coordinate technical delivery across mission, data, cloud, security, database, and customer stakeholders.
Join us. The world can’t wait.
You Have:
10 years of experience in software engineering, application development, or AI/ML engineering
Experience designing, building, and deploying production-grade AI agents or AI-enabled applications
Experience leading technical designs and delivery for agentic AI capabilities, including orchestration, tool use, state management, evaluation, observability, and operational support
Experience integrating mission or enterprise data with large language models using RAG and MCP
Experience working with geospatial intelligence data, including raster and vector data types, metadata, spatial context, and analytic results
Experience with Python, SQL, R, and RESTful API development
Experience using machine-learning frameworks, AutoML, or notebook-based workflows
Experience developing Node.js applications connected to Oracle Database, mentoring developers, coordinating delivery, and using AI-assisted development tools such as OpenAI Codex
Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
Bachelor’s degree
Nice If You Have:
Experience with Oracle AI Database Agent Factory or comparable agent-development frameworks
Experience with Oracle Spatial and Spatial Studio, including spatial analytics and visualization workflows
Experience with Oracle APEX for rapidly developing data-centric applications and dashboards
Experience operating AI applications in regulated, classified, or mission environments
Experience leading customer-facing technical teams or multidisciplinary engineering efforts
Knowledge of Oracle AI Database 26ai, including vector data types and AI-enabled database capabilities
Knowledge of OCI, including secure deployment, networking, identity, observability, and managed data services
