Senior Agentic Software Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a lot of narrative. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content: Department Summary (intro), Roles & Responsibilities (list), Basic Qualifications (list), Preferred Qualifications (list), Salary compensation range (Pay), Annual Work Location Type: Onsite (Schedule). Benefits: mention "competitive benefits" but not detailed; also "Benefits information may be found here." Not specific benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Pay: we have salary range: $129,200 - $161,500 - $193,800 (maybe midpoint). So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: "This position requires a minimum of 3 days a week on-site." Also "Annual Work Location Type: Onsite". So schedule: onsite requirement 3 days/week. We'll include Schedule section. We need headings:

for each section. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: legal, EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to include Department Summary as maybe "About the role" prose. Could combine intro and department summary into About the role. Let's extract: About the role: MITRE description, mission, etc. We'll produce a paragraph summarizing but must preserve all substantive information; we cannot summarize away detail. However we can keep the prose as is, maybe multiple paragraphs. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep the original sentences but we can combine into

  tags. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we can copy the relevant sentences exactly. We have: "At MITRE, your passion fuels work that impacts our nation and improves lives. This is where your skills strengthen national security, cybersecurity, health, transportation, and citizen services. We’re a nonprofit engineering, applied research, and advanced technology organization working in the public interest. With objectivity and integrity at our core, we lead federally funded research and development centers for U.S. government agencies – collaborating with industry and academia to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions that advance our nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Our people tackle the toughest technical challenges, supported by competitive benefits, meaningful career development, and a culture of innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. Choose MITRE for a career with purpose — and help shape the future." Then Department Summary: "Do you want to engineer software systems that contribute to solving our nation’s most critical problems? Do you want to work alongside engineers, scientists, and domain specialists that are experts in their fields? Are you passionate about best practices for delivering the highest quality software solutions? We're making a difference every day—working for a safer, healthier, and more secure nation and world. At MITRE, you’ll apply your skills and experience to solve tangible, high-impact challenges facing our nation. You’ll contribute to diverse projects in support of our government sponsors while benefiting from meaningful learning and growth opportunities. Our workplace reflects our values: we invest in your development so you can build a long-term career here. Join us for mission-driven work, competitive benefits, exceptional professional development, and a culture of innovation that values flexibility, collaboration, and career growth." We can combine these into About the role section as multiple

  elements. Responsibilities: list from "Roles & Responsibilities:" bullet list. We need to capture each bullet. The bullet list appears as lines starting with maybe no bullet but each line separated by line breaks. Let's extract: - Design, develop, test, and deploy mission software and data platforms using agentic/AI-assisted workflows with clear human accountability and review - Stand up and operate agentic development toolchains (code/test/review agents, copilots, automation bots) integrated into standard engineering practices - Rapidly prototype mission capabilities with agentic methods and mature them into production-grade systems (security, reliability, scalability, observability) - Define, implement, and enforce guardrails for agentic engineering (approved tools/models, data handling, secrets, provenance, auditability, safe prompting) - Establish evaluation and quality gates for AI-generated artifacts (tests, static/security analysis, coding standards, CI checks, acceptance criteria) - Architect, build, and operate distributed cloud systems (AWS/multi-cloud) using agentic techniques to manage performance, resilience, cost, and troubleshooting - Design and integrate APIs, backend services, and data flows; build and operate data pipelines and orchestration where applicable - Automate DevSecOps and CI/CD with AI-aware controls (supply-chain security, dependency/container/IaC scanning, SAST/DAST, policy-as-code) and repeatable releases - Produce and maintain documentation, runbooks, and compliance-ready evidence for AI-assisted engineering, including observability integrations (e.g., Splunk) We'll put each as

• . Qualifications: Basic Qualifications list. Let's extract: - Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 3 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with relevant experience who can immediately contribute to this job step - Entrepreneurial, innovative, and collaborative spirit and the curiosity to explore and push the boundaries of software development and software solutions - Strong software engineering fundamentals and Python proficiency, including secure coding, code review, automated testing, and maintainable design patterns - Hands-on experience using agentic/AI-assisted development tools (e.g., copilot, code agents, test generation, PR review automation) and integrating them into the Software Development Life Cycle - Experience designing guardrails for AI-enabled engineering (tool/model selection, prompt/context hygiene, secrets handling, provenance, auditability, and policy/compliance constraints) - Experience establishing quality/evaluation practices for AI-generated outputs (automated checks, unit/integration tests, static/security analysis, and human-in-the-loop review standards) - Leadership/enablement skills: mentoring, setting engineering standards, and advising stakeholders/customers on responsible adoption and change management - Must have an active Secret U.S Government issued Security Clearance. Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Top Secret U.S Government issued Security Clearance. Per the U.S. Government’s eligibility requirements, you must be a U.S Citizen to be considered for a security clearance. - This position requires a minimum of 3 days a week on-site. Note: The last about on-site maybe belongs to Schedule but it's also in Basic Qualifications. We'll keep it there but also maybe schedule section. We'll avoid duplication? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines. The on-site requirement appears both in Basic Qualifications and later in "This position requires a minimum of 3 days a week on-site." Also Annual Work Location Type: Onsite. We need to keep the info but not duplicate same sentence. We can keep one instance. Probably better to put schedule info in Schedule section and not duplicate in Qualifications. However the Basic Qualifications includes that line; if we remove it, we might be removing substantive info. But we can keep it in Qualifications and also have Schedule section referencing same info? That would be duplication. We need to avoid duplicated lines. So we should keep the on-site requirement only once. Where to place? Probably Schedule section is appropriate. Then we can omit it from Basic Qualifications. However the Basic Qualifications list includes that line; removing it would be removing content from that list. But we could keep it in Basic Qualifications and not have Schedule section, but we have schedule info also from Annual Work Location Type: Onsite. The schedule info is basically same. We could keep Schedule section with the on-site requirement and drop it from Basic Qualifications to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to decide which copy to keep. Probably keep it in Schedule section (makes sense) and remove from Basic Qualifications. Thus Basic Qualifications list will exclude the on-site line. Preferred Qualifications list: extract: - Advanced degree within technical discipline; Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, etc. - Active Top-Secret clearance preferred - Proven experience building, deploying and operating LLM/agent systems (e.g., RAG, tool/function calling, orchestration frameworks) in production, including constrained/classified environments - Mature evaluation and quality practices for LLMs/agents (e.g., golden sets, regression benchmarking, judge models; hallucination/jailbreak resistance and task success metrics) - Platform engineering/DevSecOps expertise: CI/CD delivery platforms, artifact management, and software supply-chain/provenance controls (e.g., SBOMs, signing/attestation/SLSA, policy-as-code) - Cloud-native operations depth across Kubernetes and IaC/multi-cloud, with strong observability (tracing/logs/agent telemetry, audit logging/Splunk) and MLOps/model serving (hosting, gatewaying, rate/cost controls, monitoring) Pay: Salary compensation range and midpoint: $129,200 - $161,500 - $193,800 Schedule: This position requires a minimum of 3 days a week on-site. Annual Work Location Type: Onsite. We can combine: "This position requires a minimum of 3 days a week on-site (onsite work location)." We should not include Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Now produce HTML fragment:
