Code for America is looking for a talented Principal AI Application Engineer who will bridge the gap between complex policy mandates and technical execution. By building modular, model-agnostic systems, you will prove that civic tech can respond to urgent legislative shifts faster and more responsibly than traditional monolithic "black boxes." About the role: The mission of New Ventures within Code for America is to imagine and then build a future of radically improved public service delivery. We are looking for two Principal AI Application Engineers to join a high-impact, lean team that is creating the tools, proof of concepts, and durable products that will define how the next generation of government services are delivered. In this role, you will be architecting the connective tissue that allows government agencies to deploy responsible, portable, and effective AI. This role will report to the VP of New Ventures team and is expected to travel no more than 10% of the time. Code for America is based in California and can employ those who reside full-time within the United States. This is a remote position. In this position you will: - Rapid Prototyping and Experimental Development - Build and ship high-impact experiments (e.g., digital lockers or AI-augmented procurement tools) to expand the "impact possibilities frontier." - Translate vague policy objectives into robust, working systems. - Identify when to use LLMs, agentic orchestration, or RAG patterns versus simple rules engines or traditional ML models. - Collaborate with policy and domain experts to co-design civic-sector benchmarks, translating complex regulatory requirements into automated evaluation pipelines that rigorously measure model performance. - Identify and define new opportunity spaces by translating emerging policy, technology, and user needs into actionable technical bets. - Infrastructure and AI System Architecture - Architect foundational tools, including declarative task specifications and agentic data layers. - Design infrastructure that respects public sector constraints, focusing on portability and explainability. - Build data layers that interoperate with legacy systems (COBOL, SQL, etc.) to deliver modern value without multi-year migrations. - Thought Leadership and Community of Practice - Establish Code for America as a leader in responsible AI through external thought leadership, including publications, talks, and open-source contributions. - Share demos and earned insights internally to help the organization iterate toward better standards and internal use cases of responsible AI. - Document architectural decisions, successes, and failures to create a blueprint for responsible AI in government. - Drive alignment across engineering, product, policy, and program teams to ensure solutions are technically sound, policy-compliant, and operationally viable. - Partner with and mentor fellow engineers through hands-on code reviews and technical guidance, ensuring the team stays grounded in best practices for responsible AI - Active Stewardship and System Integrity - Maintain system health through rigorous, hands-on code reviews and the development of shared utilities. - Ensure craftsmanship and system explainability for the vulnerable populations we serve. About you: - Senior Technical Ownership: - 7+ years of experience in high-ownership environments (former technical founders encouraged); ability to take a vague objective to a finished system. - AI & System-Level Thinking: - Hands-on experience building with LLMs, agentic orchestration, and RAG patterns, with the pragmatism to know when not to use them. - Pragmatic Architecture: - Ability to think in "primitives" and "capabilities," preferring modular, reusable frameworks over bespoke scripts. - Algorithmic Accountability: - Passion for bias detection, harm mitigations, and building systems that are explainable to the people they serve. - Modern Infrastructure Fluency: - Mastery of Git, Linux, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code(Terraform), and container-based workflows. - Intellectual Humility: - A critical eye toward the limitations of AI, especially "black box" logic in high-stakes public services. - Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction and drive alignment across teams without formal authority.
