Agentic AI Engineer - Booz Allen - Washington, DC

Agentic AI Engineer

The Opportunity:
We are looking for a highly skilled Agentic AI Engineer to join our team, specializing in building autonomous, goal-oriented AI systems. You will play a crucial role in shifting our AI strategy from passive LLM chatbots to proactive, multi-agent orchestrations. In this role, you will utilize deep experience in agent orchestration frameworks, RAG, knowledge graphs, and fine-tuning Small Language Models (SLMs) for edge deployment.

What You'll Work On:
• Design and implement intelligent agent architectures that can reason, plan, and take actions using LangChain, LangGraph, and AutoGen.
• Develop and deploy multi-agent systems using MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocols to facilitate communication, tool usage, and collaborative task solving.
• Build advanced RAG pipelines integrating unstructured data with Knowledge Graphs (KG) to enhance reasoning accuracy and context retention.
• Fine-tune Small Language Models (SLMs) for specific domains and optimize them for edge device performance, including ONNX, GGML, or Ollama.
• Develop evaluation frameworks to test agent reliability, safety, and performance, moving from prototype to production, including ReAct loops and human-in-the-loop.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:
• 5+ years of experience in software development
• 2+ years of experience with GenAI, LLMs, and agentic workflows
• Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or LlamaIndex
• Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) for tool integration and A2A for agent-to-agent collaboration
• Experience in RAG architecture and Knowledge Graphs, including Neo4j or NebulaGraph
• Experience fine-tuning LLMs or SLMs using Hugging Face, PEFT, or LoRA
• Knowledge of modern software design patterns, including microservice design or edge computing
• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in a Computer Science or AI field

Nice If You Have:
• Experience deploying agentic systems in a
