Required qualifications

Four or more years in search, information retrieval, or applied machine learning, including at least one retrieval-augmented generation system that reached production and real users.
Working knowledge of retrieval fundamentals: inverted indexes, BM25, term analysis, and why lexical and semantic retrieval fail in different ways.

Hands-on experience with a managed search service. Azure AI Search preferred; Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or Vespa experience transfers.
Large language model application engineering, including grounding, citation enforcement, structured output, and abstention behavior.
Rigorous retrieval evaluation. You have built a labeled question set, measured recall and precision against it, and used the results to make ranking decisions.
Strong Python and comfort with containerized deployment.
United States citizenship and eligibility for federal public trust suitability screening.

Azure OpenAI and Azure Government experience, including model availability and data handling constraints in government regions.
Open-weight model deployment and inference optimization on GPU hardware.
Knowledge graph or graph traversal query experience supporting entity lineage.
Query-time security trimming against an external identity and permission model.
Prior work in a domain where a wrong answer carries consequence: legal, healthcare, regulatory, or financial.
Federal delivery experience.
