About this role
Unstructured is dedicated to transforming messy, unstructured data for the Public Sector. They are seeking an AI Engineer who will architect and ship novel multimodal data processing systems to meet the needs of Government and Military clients.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement production-grade RAG pipelines and agentic workflows using Python
- Build systems that handle real-world "messy" data (PDFs, scanned docs, images, full motion video) and ensure they are performant and scalable
- Evaluate new models (LLMs, embedding models, object detection), prototype approaches for SBIR/government deliverables, and run experiments to prove what actually works
- Partner with the team to document architectures, contribute to technical reports for contract deliverables, and participate in pre-sales calls to architect solutions for complex client needs
Requirements:
- Proven experience deploying Production RAG pipelines against real-world, messy datasets
- Deep expertise in Agentic system design (tool-use, multi-agent orchestration)
- Strong Python engineering skills—writing clean, scalable, and maintainable code
- Experience operating within AWS/GovCloud environments
- Experience fine-tuning NLP or object detection models
- Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks (hallucination detection, drift monitoring)
- Knowledge of government security standards and working in different classification environments and on-prem
- Security Clearance: Existing Secret/TS clearance or eligibility is a significant plus
