About The Position

Join a Mission That Matters Torch.AI builds the AI Control Layer for the United States Government—foundational infrastructure that turns complex, multi-domain data into operational decision advantage. Our platform is accredited, deployed, and operating today across enterprise clouds and tactical edge environments. We support billing and reporting, multi-INT fusion, predictive movement analysis, targeting workflows, anomaly detection, and decision support for cross-domain operations including ISR, information advantage, joint effects, and force protection. In 2021, Torch.AI acquired The Data Tech Group (DTG), a trusted provider of mission-critical software and sustainment support. Torch.AI (DTG) plays a key role in supporting the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Telecommunications Inventory and Billing Information (TIBI) program. The system manages and reconciles telecommunications service inventory and associated billing data for DoW customers. It provides visibility into telecom assets such as circuits and services, links those assets to customer accounts, and supports accurate chargeback and financial tracking by aligning service inventory records with billing information. This role offers the opportunity to support current TIBI operations while contributing to future TIBI program modernization efforts, including system upgrades, security compliance evolution, and long-term platform sustainment. If you’re driven to strengthen U.S. defense readiness and protect national interests, Torch.AI (DTG) offers meaningful impact at national scale. What Makes Us Different Torch.AI believes the government must own its data, its decision environment, and its reasoning infrastructure. Our capabilities increase the value of existing systems of record rather than replacing them. We measure performance by accuracy, latency, and efficiency, not slideware benchmarks. You’ll join a team (DTG) who has spent the last 20+ years providing DISA with excellent service quality, expertise, and customer satisfaction. You’ll be a key part of Torch.AI’s team of engineers, data experts, veterans, and mission practitioners dedicated to delivering operational AI that runs in production—at speed, at scale, and under real-world constraints. You’ll own meaningful work, move quickly, and see your systems deployed in production, often within weeks. We are fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and mission-driven. Every day is a new puzzle. The Type of Candidates Who Thrive People who succeed here: Are builders, not curators. They ship and iterate. Are comfortable with messy data, unclear requirements, and real mission constraints without always having the luxury of clear specs. Respect operators and prioritize utility over elegance. Care about explainability and determinism because real decisions demand auditability. Move quickly but understand security boundaries and accreditation realities. Measure success by operational impact, not model novelty. If you want to support a live government system while helping shape its modernization roadmap, this is your opportunity to build, improve, and evolve mission-critical capabilities.
