​The Leidos Cyber Accelerator is seeking a hands-on applied researcher to invent, prototype, and operationalize agentic AI systems, and the automation required to deploy them in enterprise environments. You will evaluate emerging agentic patterns (multi-agent coordination, tool use, human-in-the-loop oversight), implement them as working systems, and build reusable automation and integration patterns (e.g., LLM-driven tool connectors/protocols) that enable secure, observable, repeatable paths for deployment, validation, and security testing.  ​Primary Responsibilities:  -Comfortable with modern tools to support configuration and software development (examples: Codex, Claude Code).  -Research, prototype, and evaluate multi-agent architectures (supervisor/worker, hierarchical, HITL) and translate successful patterns into reusable libraries/services.  -Agent/orchestration frameworks (examples: LangGraph-style state machines, AutoGen-style agent teams, CrewAI-style workflows)  -Build secure agent-to-tool integrations using open connectivity standards.  -Agent tool-integration protocols (examples: Model Context Protocol (MCP), structured tool/function calling patterns)  -Create deployment automation for agentic services: reproducible environments and repeatable enterprise releases on Kubernetes.  -IaC & environment provisioning  (e.g., Terraform)  -Kubernetes packaging & configuration management (examples: Helm, Kustomize)  -Stand up production-like stacks on AWS + Kubernetes and codify them into repeatable, automated, tooling.  -Debug and refine AI-driven workflows, ensuring that work can be generalized.  -Create trials and collect metrics for demonstrating success of automated deployments and connectivity between enterprise components.  -Build observability-first agent systems (tool-call telemetry, step tracing, eval hooks).  -Research and apply nonhuman/workload identity patterns for agentic services and integrate into deployment automation.  -Model serving/inference platforms (examples: Ollama, vLLM, Ray Serve)  -Observability/instrumentation standards (examples: OpenTelemetry) and common backends (examples: Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger)  (Optional, as mission needs) Experiment with scalable serving patterns for LLM endpoints on Kubernetes.  ​Basic Qualifications:  -Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years relevant experience (software engineering, applied R&D, platform/DevSecOps, AI/ML engineering, cyber engineering). Additional years may substitute for degree.  -Proven hands-on delivery: prototypes that ran, tools others used, automation others depended on.  -Strong development skills; experience building LLM-enabled systems and/or multi-agent workflows.  -Practical experience with Kubernetes and modern deployment/IaC practices; Terraform, K8s familiarity.  -Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance.  ​Preferred Qualifications:  -Experience productizing internal platforms (“paved roads”): templates, reference architectures, golden paths, and guardrails.  -GitOps delivery experience (Argo CD/Flux or similar), and observability pipeline experience (OpenTelemetry or similar).  -Workload identity / service-to-service auth experience (SPIFFE/SPIRE, mTLS, policy enforcement).  -Familiarity with research methodologies, with a focus on establishing validation of techniques (e.g., F1 scores, ROC/AUC, correlation methods).  -Ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance.    If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares. Original Posting: February 6, 2026 For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
