[Hiring] Junior AI Engineer @Tria Federal

Role Description

Tria Federal is assembling a small, high-autonomy team of Junior AI Engineers to design and build agentic systems, with outcome-focused intelligent software agents that reason, act, and collaborate to solve real-world problems for federal missions. This individual will help create systems that automate knowledge work, enhance human decision-making, and improve digital experiences for millions of Americans, from veterans and clinicians to public safety professionals.

As part of Tria Labs, you’ll shape how generative and agentic AI redefines mission delivery, developing tools and systems that make digital civic services smarter, faster, and more human-centered. This is a great opportunity to turn generative AI into agents that act, not just respond, and perform where it matters the most.

Must be a U.S. citizen due to the security clearance required for this position.

Responsibilities

• Build intelligent agents that plan, reason, and interact with users, MCP Servers and APIs, using evolving agentic frameworks to orchestrate complex business workflows.
• Engineer end-to-end products — from Python or Node.js backends to React or Angular frontend applications that embed these agents into secure, mission-critical environments.
• Integrate and experiment with leading AI platforms and Foundational Models to design multi-agent workflows and retrieval-augmented solutions.
• Prototype rapidly, test ideas, and push from concept to pilot within an agile, builder-driven team.
• Apply responsible AI and security-minded design, as we build systems that interface with sensitive data and secure platforms (SSDF awareness a plus).

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of hands-on experience building and deploying full-stack applications (Python, TypeScript, Node.js, React/Angular).
• Practical experience with LLM APIs and generative AI frameworks, ideally having built or experimented with agentic systems, chat interfaces, or AI copilots.
• Understanding of data and API orchestration, including prompt management, evals, RAG, context handling, and connecting AI reasoning to real systems.
• Exposure to AWS or other cloud platforms for deploying and monitoring modern applications.
• Curiosity, autonomy, and the drive to make AI tangible; you thrive in small, multidisciplinary teams where initiative matters.

Benefits

• Top-tier benefits package to invest in your physical, mental, and financial health and wellness.
• Cultivating a culture in which all can thrive personally and professionally.
• Opportunities to learn new skills, seize new challenges, and advance your career as we grow.
