MOSA-Compliant Architecture

Axyde Analytics is hiring a Lead Software Architect to drive the orchestration and schema integration layer of a tactical logistics assistant built for the U.S. Army. This role shapes how the system reasons, communicates, and survives under degraded and denied conditions — ultimately powering a mission-critical capability for real-world field deployment.

You’ll be responsible for :

Designing and delivering the orchestration wrapper that fuses Axyde’s semantic assistant to a logistics Task Framework

Building schema-enforced logic handoffs using JSON + OpenGNS patterns

Engineering DDIL survivability : auto-labeling, fallback inference, persistent task memory

Contributing to MOSA-compliant architecture, schema declarations, and OpenGNS export pipelines

Deploying containerized logic (Docker, OCI, llama.cpp / Ollama) on CPU-only rugged hardware

Ideal Skills & Background :

Python w / FastAPI, Pydantic, and async processing experience

JSON schema mastery — ability to design and enforce strict interface boundaries

Experience with RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines

Familiarity with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or local inference models (Phi-2, Mistral)

Prior DoD, dual-use, or prototyping background — especially in logistics, AI / ML, or mission systems

Engagement Structure :

1099 contractor or milestone-based consulting agreement

Compensation : $130K–$155K base equivalent, with bonus tied to Phase II completion and TRL 6 certification

Flexible remote-first role; some collaboration expected with entities in Colorado Springs, CO as well as Alexandria and Richmond, VA and southern Arizona. Travel
