Agentic AI Engineer - Booz Allen Hamilton - Washington, DC

Agentic AI Engineer

The Opportunity:
We are looking for a highly skilledAgentic AI Engineerto 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.
