SUMMARY:Senior Software Engineer - Backend (Seattle, WA)
DESCRIPTION:At PNNL, our core capabilities are divided among major departm
 ents that we refer to as Directorates within the Lab, focused on a specifi
 c area of scientific research or other function, with its own leadership t
 eam and dedicated budget.  \n\n \n\nOur Science & Technology directorates 
 include National Security, Earth and Biological Sciences, Physical and Com
 putational Sciences, and Energy and Environment. In addition, we have an E
 nvironmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a Department of Energy, Office
  of Science user facility housed on the PNNL campus. \n\n \n\nThe National
  Security Directorate (NSD) drives science-based, mission-focused solution
 s to take on complex, real-world threats to our nation and the world. \n\n
  \n\nThe AI and Data Analytics Division, part of the National Security Dir
 ectorate, combines profound domain expertise and creative integration of a
 dvanced hardware and software to deliver computational solutions that addr
 ess complex data and analytic challenges. Working in multidisciplinary tea
 ms, we connect foundational research to engineering to operations, providi
 ng the tools to innovate quickly and field results faster. Our strengths a
 re integrated across the data analytics lifecycle, from data acquisition a
 nd management to analysis and decision support.\n\n\nResponsibilities\n\nS
 OLVING THE HARDEST PROBLEMS IN NATIONAL SECURITY\n\nProtecting U.S. reside
 nts and visitors requires sophisticated technological solutions to counter
  increasingly complex, AI-enabled threats. As adversaries deploy autonomou
 s systems, coordinate multi-domain operations, and leverage advanced AI ca
 pabilities, our capabilities must evolve to match this complexity. The PNN
 L national security mission employs our expert engineering talent—self-dri
 ven innovators who thrive in ambiguity—to architect and deliver next-gener
 ation AI systems, multi-intelligence fusion platforms, and large-scale ana
 lytics capabilities that form the backbone of our nation's security infras
 tructure.\n\n \n\nTHE CHALLENGE IS REAL. THE PROBLEMS ARE HARD. THE IMPACT
  IS IMMEDIATE\n\nYou'll tackle problems that don't exist elsewhere from de
 tecting and preventing smuggling of drugs and contraband to correlating pe
 tabytes of multi-modal intelligence data to solve National Security Proble
 ms. Every system you architect, every algorithm you optimize, and every de
 ployment 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 responsibility.\n\
 n \n\nPNNL is leading the charge in advanced AI engineering, driving innov
 ation in areas such as real-time multi-intelligence processing, petabyte-s
 cale data orchestration, and agentic AI system architectures to support na
 tional security initiatives. We are looking for a mid-career Software Engi
 neer to play a key role in advancing these groundbreaking technologies. In
  this position, you will leverage your experience in scalable system desig
 n, AI/ML engineering, and data architecture to develop revolutionary capab
 ilities for processing multi-modal intelligence data with unprecedented sp
 eed and scale. You’ll work in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment tha
 t combines startup-style agility with the rigor required for high-impact n
 ational security applications.\n\n \n\nAPPLYING YOUR ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
  TO CHALLENGES IMPACTING NATIONAL SECURITY\n\nAs a Software Engineer on PN
 NL's Software Engineering and Architectures (SEA) team, you will architect
  and lead the development of mission-critical AI systems, design systems a
 t scale in support of mission objectives, and drive technical strategy for
  some of the nation's most sophisticated intelligence and security applica
 tions. You'll take ownership from concept to deployment, mentor and develo
 p staff, collaborate with research scientists and domain experts, and tran
 slate cutting-edge research into production-ready systems deployed in high
 ly secure environments—all while maintaining the entrepreneurial mindset t
 hat turns breakthrough research into operational reality.\n\n \n\nHANDS-ON
