Company Description

Govini transforms Defense Acquisition from an outdated manual process to a software-driven strategic advantage for the United States. Our flagship product, Ark, supports Supply Chain, Science and Technology, Production, Sustainment, and Modernization teams with AI-enabled Applications and best-in-class data to more rapidly imagine, develop, and field the capabilities we need. Today, the national security community and every branch of the military rely on Govini to enable faster and more informed Acquisition decisions.

Job Description 

We are seeking an experienced, skilled developer with a proven track record of delivering modern AI solutions into production software applications. The Principal AI Engineer will report to the Chief Data Officer and will spearhead the development of both generative AI and traditional machine learning systems that process, analyze, and derive insights from complex defense and national security data. As a technical leader within our organization, you will help shape Govini's AI strategy to deliver actionable intelligence that supports critical defense decision-making and national security objectives.

In order to do this job well, you must be a curious and eager problem solver with a hunger for building well-designed, high-quality solutions. You have a passion for great work and nothing less than your best will do. You share our intolerance of mediocrity. You’re uber-smart, challenged by figuring things out and producing simple solutions to complex problems. Knowing there are always multiple answers to a problem, you know how to engage in a constructive dialogue to find the best path forward. You’re scrappy. We like scrappy.

This role is a full-time position located out of our office in Pittsburgh, PA.
 This role may require up to 25% travel

  • Proven track record implementing data processing pipelines that handle large-scale, complex datasets
  • Strong system design skills with experience in distributed systems and microservices architecture
  • Demonstrated expertise in implementing AI solutions that meet stringent security requirements
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders, including non-technical defense professionals

    • Desired Skills:
  • Current possession of a U.S. security clearance, or the ability to obtain one with our sponsorship
  • Experience in or exposure to the nuances of a startup or other entrepreneurial environment
  • Experience working with defense, intelligence, or national security data and applications
