Senior Data Engineer, Intelligence Analysis

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. We’re passionate about solving complex problems. 

Torch.AI’s focus on the U.S. defense and national security industry offers you an unparalleled opportunity to contribute directly to the safety and well-being of our nation while building new innovative technologies. As a vital partner to the U.S. government and our allies, helping to shape global stability, we offer a dynamic environment to tackle complex challenges across multidisciplinary domains. With substantial investment in innovation, Torch.AI is at the forefront of developing AI, autonomous systems, and advanced national security solutions, founded on the premise that information is the new battlefield.
