SUMMARY:Senior Software Engineer - Backend (Richland, WA)
DESCRIPTION:SOLVING THE HARDEST PROBLEMS IN NATIONAL SECURITY\n\nProtectin
 g U.S. residents and visitors requires sophisticated technological solutio
 ns to counter increasingly complex, AI-enabled threats. As adversaries dep
 loy autonomous systems, coordinate multi-domain operations, and leverage a
 dvanced AI capabilities, our capabilities must evolve to match this comple
 xity. The PNNL national security mission employs our expert engineering ta
 lent—self-driven innovators who thrive in ambiguity—to architect and deliv
 er next-generation AI systems, multi-intelligence fusion platforms, and la
 rge-scale analytics capabilities that form the backbone of our nation's se
 curity infrastructure.\n\n \n\nTHE CHALLENGE IS REAL. THE PROBLEMS ARE HAR
 D. THE IMPACT IS IMMEDIATE\n\nYou'll tackle problems that don't exist else
 where from detecting and preventing smuggling of drugs and contraband to c
 orrelating petabytes of multi-modal intelligence data to solve National Se
 curity Problems. Every system you architect, every algorithm you optimize,
  and every deployment you lead directly strengthens our nation's security 
 posture. This work demands relentless drive—the kind of engineer who sees 
 obstacles as puzzles to solve and treats mission success as personal respo
 nsibility.\n\n \n\nPNNL is leading the charge in advanced AI engineering, 
 driving innovation in areas such as real-time multi-intelligence processin
 g, petabyte-scale data orchestration, and agentic AI system architectures 
 to support national security initiatives. We are looking for a mid-career 
 Software Engineer to play a key role in advancing these groundbreaking tec
 hnologies. In this position, you will leverage your experience in scalable
  system design, AI/ML engineering, and data architecture to develop revolu
 tionary capabilities for processing multi-modal intelligence data with unp
 recedented speed and scale. You’ll work in a fast-paced, mission-driven en
 vironment that combines startup-style agility with the rigor required for 
 high-impact national security applications.\n\n \n\nAPPLYING YOUR ENGINEER
 ING EXPERTISE TO CHALLENGES IMPACTING NATIONAL SECURITY\n\nAs a Software E
 ngineer on PNNL's Software Engineering and Architectures (SEA) team, you w
 ill architect and lead the development of mission-critical AI systems, des
 ign systems at scale in support of mission objectives, and drive technical
  strategy for some of the nation's most sophisticated intelligence and sec
 urity applications. You'll take ownership from concept to deployment, ment
 or and develop staff, collaborate with research scientists and domain expe
 rts, and translate cutting-edge research into production-ready systems dep
 loyed in highly secure environments—all while maintaining the entrepreneur
 ial mindset that turns breakthrough research into operational reality.\n\n
