What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on building and operating AI-powered systems at scale — specifically multi-agent architectures, Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines, vector databases, and cloud-deployed microservices intended to support tens of thousands of users. The work sits at the intersection of AI engineering and cloud infrastructure, with a security compliance dimension requiring an active Secret clearance. It suits an experienced software engineer with a production AI or ML background.

Why we read it this way (10)
No specific work location or metro area is stated in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The role requires up to 10% local travel, suggesting an on-site or hybrid arrangement near a CACI/NAVSEA facility.
The title carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 7+ years overall and 2+ years AI/ML requirements, combined with the scope (architecting multi-agent systems for ~40,000 users), support a Senior classification.
An active Secret clearance is listed as a hard gate under 'Security and Compliance'; CompTIA Security+ (or higher) is also listed there as a hard requirement.
LangGraph is named as the primary framework for multi-agent systems with AutoGen as an explicit alternative ('or equivalent tools'); both are captured under one skill entry.
AWS and OCI are presented as interchangeable cloud platforms ('AWS or OCI'); captured as one skill with OCI as the alternative.
Python is listed with the qualifier 'similar to Python' — this is a substitution qualifier indicating Python-class proficiency is required, not that Python itself is optional; treated as a hard gate.
Rust, Go, and JavaScript appear under Preferred Qualifications as 'secondary languages'; captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
LLM evaluation/observability frameworks appear under Preferred Qualifications with no specific tool named; captured generically as 'LLMs' preferred. NAVSEA Cyber RMF and cloud certifications also appear under Preferred but name no specific technology tool and are omitted per schema rules.
The broad salary range ($98,500–$206,800/year) is typical of CACI's government-contract postings, which span multiple labor categories and geographic locations.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
