Leawood, United States Torch AI Full time
Become Part of the Torch.AI Journey

Torch.AI is a defense focused AI-software company. Unlike traditional government contractors, our team of experts takes calculated risks to self-fund R&D behind the scenes and then sells complete products "off-the-shelf" to mission owners. We conduct deep research into understanding how AI and new data infrastructures can improve a growing array of national defense needs. This allows us to go from ideation to full capability deployment in weeks and months, instead of years. Today, we help improve national security, protect our warfighters, eliminate fraud, reduce risk, and enable better customer experiences. We're passionate about solving complex problems. Join us in our mission to help organizations Unlock Human Potential.

The U.S. defense and national security industry offers an unparalleled opportunity to contribute to the safety and well-being of the nation while engaging with cutting-edge technologies. As a vital sector that shapes global stability, it offers a dynamic environment to tackle complex challenges across multidisciplinary domains. With substantial investment in innovation, the industry is at the forefront of developing AI, autonomous systems, and advanced national security solutions, each founded on the premise that information is the new battlefield. If this type of work is of interest, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role: Unlock Your Potential

As a Data Engineer at Torch.AI, you will be at the forefront of building scalable data solutions within and across Torch.AI's platform capabilities. You will design and implement robust data pipelines, systems, and processes to ingest, transform, and store data efficiently, enabling critical insights and operational effectiveness across U.S. defense and national security programs and projects. Each of our customers requires unique technical solutions to remove obstacles such as manual-intensive data analysis and cognitive burden to ensure mission success. Our modular end-to-end data infrastructure platform supports a wide variety of military functions and operations.

We build enterprise-grade data platforms and solutions to meet the specialized needs of our customers and encourage company-wide collaboration to share context, skills, and expertise across a variety of tools, technologies, and development practices. Our platform enables customer-specific solution teams to rapidly design, configure, and deploy data architectures tailored to meet specific operational and analytical requirements.

In this role, you'll work autonomously while driving coordinated, collaborative decisions across cross-functional solutions and product development teams, which include a mix of defense and national security experts, U.S. veterans, and experienced AI/ML, software, and data engineers. Your work will focus on developing efficient data pipelines, managing complex data schemas and ontologies, optimizing data systems for performance, and enabling seamless integration with advanced analytics and AI models in support of data fusion capabilities. You will have the opportunity to harden and scale existing data solutions while also innovating and introducing new methods, features, and capabilities that enhance our data infrastructure and benefit both our company and our customers.

We're looking for Data engineers who thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and mission-driven environment. You'll be encouraged to think creatively, challenge conventional approaches, and identify alternative approaches to delivering customer value across complex problem sets. Your day-to-day workflow will vary, adapting to the requirements of our customer and technical needs of respective use cases. One day, you may be supporting the development of a new proof of capability concept for a new customer program; another you may be refining system performance to help scale a production deployment; the next you may be working directly with customers to understand their requirements with deep intellectual curiosity.

  • We value customer intimacy, unique perspectives, and dedication to delivering lasting impact and results. You'll have the opportunity to work on the frontlines of major customer programs and influence lasting success for Torch.AI and your teammates.

  • You'll directly contribute in helping Torch.AI continue to position as a leader in data infrastructure AI in the market and compete against multi-billion dollar incumbents and high-tech AI companies.
  • We develop solutions directly supporting our nation's warfighters and national security and prosperity; the impact of your work is directly visible.
