The Opportunity:

CACI is seeking a motivated early-career Software Engineer with interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), workflow automation, and modern full-stack development. This engineer will support CACI’s Enterprise Solutions Factory (ESF) and customer modernization initiatives by building AI-enabled tools, automation capabilities, backend services, and user-facing applications.

The engineer will help design, develop, test, and deploy software solutions that integrate LLMs, modern APIs, automation pipelines, and data workflows.

Solutions are expected to emphasize cost transparency and focus on high-leverage accelerators rather than 100% solutions as part of ESF’s engineering philosophy.

You will work directly with the VP, Technology & Services, to build reusable technical solutions and accelerators that strengthen CACI’s competitive position and increase the probability of winning new work.

The solutions you build will support Intelligence and DoD missions, helping analysts and operational personnel accelerate decision-making and strengthen national security outcomes.

Hybrid options available!

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop backend services, APIs, and basic automation workflows
• Implement LLM-based features under guidance (extraction, small automations, RAG components)
• Build small applications, dashboards, ingestion scripts
• Process structured and unstructured data (CSVs, spreadsheets, PDFs, logs) and troubleshoot inconsistencies
• Take ownership of assigned tasks
• Participate in Agile development cycles, use Git for version control, and contribute to CI/CD pipelines
• Contribute to solutions that use serverless and PaaS-first patterns

Qualifications:

Required: 

Typically 3 years of experience, inclusive of professional internships, in software engineering, automation, or full-stack development with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related field; OR 7+ years of progressive software development experience in lieu of a degree.

• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python, Java/Kotlin, JavaScript/Node.js)
• Ability to build basic REST APIs, backend routes, or data-processing workflows
• Experience with relational or NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
• Basic frontend experience with React.js or similar
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD concepts, and unit testing
• Exposure to LLMs or AI/ML tooling and an interest in applying them to real mission challenges

Desired:

• Project experience in full-stack development, automation, AI/ML integration, or data processing
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP cloud services
• Experience with Docker or lightweight containerization
• Experience using serverless and PaaS-first architectures
• Familiarity with analytics, anomaly detection, or process improvement methodologies
