About the Role

Everforth ECS is seeking a Senior Build/Packaging Engineer to work in the National Capital Region, covering the Pentagon, Falls Church, and Fairfax. Please note: This position is contingent upon contract award.

In this role, you will develop, govern, and advance reproducible build and packaging standards that support the deployment of production-ready AI and machine-learning model artifacts across all WDP classification enclaves. Your work ensures deployment reliability, supply-chain integrity, and enclave-parity packaging consistency. You will partner with cybersecurity teams to embed security controls consistent with NIST control baselines and Zero Trust principles, while collaborating with pipeline engineering, backend API engineering, and platform operations to synchronize artifact packaging with model endpoint configuration workflows. By strengthening the WDP Core Integration program, you will directly increase deployment reliability and reduce variance across enclaves, supporting mission users with consistently packaged model capabilities.

Hiring Process

This position is contingent upon contract award. Candidates must possess a current Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).

Equal Opportunity

ECS Federal LLC is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate or allow discrimination on the basis of any characteristic protected by law. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to disability, status as a protected veteran, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local jurisdiction law.
