About us: Navaide: Catalysts for a Stronger Tomorrow

At Navaide, we exist to empower organizations to evolve and adapt in a rapidly changing world. By combining human ingenuity with transformative technology, we develop innovative solutions that drive progress for the people and systems that strengthen our nation. Our mission is rooted in agility, scalability, and a commitment to exceeding expectations, ensuring impactful results for our clients and communities.

Position: AI/ML Engineer

Navaide is seeking a hands-on AI/ML Engineer to support a mix of applied machine learning delivery and internal systems development within a secure, mission-aligned environment. This is a technical contributor role with a strong growth trajectory toward systems leadership.

We're looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of modeling, infrastructure, and workflow automation. You'll work on real-world datasets, contribute to the evolution of our internal ML pipelines, and mentor emerging engineers as we scale our capability from early-stage delivery into reusable platform components.

How You Will Make an Impact:

  • Support and extend applied ML models for time-series forecasting, classification, and predictive analytics
  • Clean, transform, and ingest structured/unstructured data from diverse operational systems
  • Contribute to internal model management and ML Ops stack development (versioning, retraining, validation)
  • Work closely with DevSecOps to containerize, monitor, and harden pipelines in IL-compliant environments
  • Prototype modular components that will form the backbone of our reusable toolsets
  • Collaborate with senior engineers and capability leads to scale proofs-of-concept into client-ready frameworks
  • Guide junior engineers and interns on project-based mentorship and structured learning paths

Relevant Skills & Experience:

  • Technical generalist with strength in Python and applied ML (regression, classification, basic NLP or CV)
  • Experience working with Jupyter, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar open-source frameworks
  • Familiarity with containerized environments, Git workflows, and CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitLab, MLflow, Azure DevOps)
  • Interest or experience in working within secure cloud or compliance-aligned environments (Azure, AWS GovCloud, IL4/IL5, etc.)
  • TS/SCI or active clearance strongly preferred (or ability to be cleared)
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across mixed-discipline teams

What We Offer:

Navaide is committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and forward-thinking workplace where our team members can thrive. Our benefits are designed to support your well-being, professional growth, and ability to work at a sustainable pace.

  • Clear growth path into ML Ops, infrastructure, and platform engineering
  • Embedded, delivery-facing role—real mission, real systems, real impact
  • Hybrid work environment with relocation support if needed
  • Full benefits package including professional development and certification support
  • High-ownership culture with strong mentorship and cross-functional exposure

This role is part of a small, high-trust team building meaningful tools in the federal space. We're not just building models—we're building the infrastructure and culture that lets ML scale safely, reliably, and securely.

  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Flexible time off
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Company perks such as flex spending, wellness initiatives, etc.
  • 401(K) matching
