Job Description
Principal AI Application Engineer
Code for America
• 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. • 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. • 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. • 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.
