Software Engineer SWE , Level 3 - Bitwise, LLC

Software Engineer III – AI/ML & Agentic Automation

An active TS//SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role

Hey!

Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here!

Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.

What We Look For

Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you.

We ask that every new hire be able to:

• Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time
• Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities
• Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right
• Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company
• Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together
• Know and live our core values every single day

About this Role

We're looking for a sharp, mission-driven Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of AI and operational tradecraft. In this hybrid Analyst/Developer role, you'll bring deep experience with large language models and AI-integrated Python pipelines to bear on mission-critical work that genuinely matters.

You won't just be writing code — you'll be shaping how intelligent automation is applied to real-world national security problems. From the earliest stages of conceptualization through deployment and beyond, you'll have a hand in every phase of the development lifecycle. You'll architect agentic AI workflows, conduct vulnerability research, analyze complex technical data, develop and document new tradecraft, and engage directly with customers to understand and deliver on their needs.

This is a role for someone who is as comfortable thinking through a hard problem as they are building the solution to it.

Requirements

• Design and deploy agentic AI workflows that leverage autonomous planning and tool-use to streamline operations and improve system efficiency
• Design, develop, and maintain automated workflows using Python
