Full-time
On-site
Corridor North, Maryland, United States
CyberTrend’s leadership has 40 years of experience in the industry, and the company continues to serve as a technology leader on many defense projects and programs. Formed in 2010, CyberTrend has long-standing partnerships and clients, including partners like AWS and IBM, government agencies, the intelligence community, and defense contractors. We provide talented and exceptionally qualified IT, architectural, system, and software engineering personnel.
Requires TS/SCI with Poly Clearance
The Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) Engineer designs, creates, tests, and productizes AI/ML algorithms to solve business challenges. The AI/ML models they create should be capable of learning and making predictions as defined by the business logic developed to meet customer requirements. The AI/ML Engineer should be proficient in all aspects of model architecture, data pipeline interaction, and metrics application, interpretation, and presentation. The AI/ML Engineer needs familiarity with foundational concepts of application development, infrastructure management, data engineering, and data governance. Through an understanding of training, retraining, deploying, scheduling, monitoring, and improving models through iterative user and system feedback, the AI/ML Engineer designs and creates scalable solutions for optimal performance. The AI/ML Engineer may be responsible for leading geographically diverse teams and will often serve as a primary POC for AI-related matters, so must have exceptional analytical, problem-solving and communication skills. Expert knowledge of multiple programming languages, e.g. Python, Java, C, R, a plus.
Two (2) years experience in applied machine learning in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required. A B.S. degree in advanced math (e.g., calculus, linear algebra or Bayesian statistics), computer science or related STEM discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Three (3) years of additional machine learning experience on projects with similar machine learning processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
Qualifications
Perform statistical analysis
Run machine learning algorithms
Use results to improve models
Train and retrain systems when needed
Experience in working with various ML libraries and packages
Run standard test and evaluation protocols
Provide system integration oversight
Requirements Seeking an AIML1 Engineer, responsible for building, training, fine-tuning, and evaluating advanced language models. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with state-of-the‑art machine learning techniques, specifically for natural language processing (NLP), and will also have a strong understanding of full‑stack development. This person will work across the model development lifecycle and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑impact solutions. Key Responsibilities:
Knowledge and experience of Language models is required
Specific experience with Marian and multi‑lingual model development
Knowledge of Computation Linguistics is a plus
Experience with Open‑Source model libraries, Deep Learning Containers (DLC), GPU technologies and optimization / tuning
Strong Java, C, C++ programming experience
Willingness to support occasional on‑call duties is a plus
Build, train, and fine‑tune machine learning models, particularly language models
Apply best practices in model training, tuning, and optimization.
Design and implement solutions for model performance improvement.
Evaluation & Testing
Conduct rigorous model evaluation, including performance analysis and benchmarking.
Perform error analysis, debugging, and model diagnostics to ensure quality and reliability.
Work with cloud‑based AI platforms (especially AWS Sagemaker) to deploy and scale models.
Integrate machine learning models into production environments, ensuring seamless integration with other systems.
Contribute to the development and maintenance of the full stack for AI model‑based applications (front‑end and back‑end).
Collaborate with software engineers to build scalable and efficient deployment pipelines.
Work closely with data scientists, product teams, and engineers to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
Document workflows, model design processes, and technical specifications.
Strong proficiency in AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Hugging Face
Expertise in model training, evaluation, and deployment.
Hands‑on experience with AWS tools like SageMaker, Lambda, EC2, and S3.
Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design.
Experience & Background
Extensive experience in machine learning model development, including natural language processing (NLP).
Experience with model evaluation, optimization, and performance monitoring.
Proven experience in software engineering with strong coding skills.
Experience working in a government or defense‑related environment is highly preferred.
Additional Skills
Experience with model versioning and management using tools such as MLFlow or Git.
Familiarity with containerization tools (i.e. Kubernetes).
Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills.
Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
Nice to Have
Experience with secure data handling and compliance requirements
Experience working with Large Language Models (LLMs)
This position requires in‑scope poly, within 7 years.
Telework (up to 16 hours per week) may be available for this position based on mission needs/available tasking at the discretion of leadership, after the individual has become fully acclimated to the duties and responsibilities of the position and has completed the necessary telework training.
Generous and competitive paid time off, scaled based on time in service, plus eleven paid annual holidays.
CyberTrend pays 100% of the cost for the following benefits for its full‑time employees: including medical (base plan), dental, vision, disability, life, EAP, and more.
CyberTrend contributes 10% of your monthly gross salary to a SEP-IRA account. This retirement plan is non‑contributory for the employee, has no vesting period, and is 100% owned and managed by the employee.
Educational assistance up to $5,250 annually for work‑related activities upon prior approval
Training assistance up to $3,000 annually for work‑related activities upon prior approval
