Mission Solutions Architect II

Torch.AI • Leawood, KS

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Torch.AI is building a government-owned reasoning infrastructure that creates a Reasoning Layer to enable machine reasoning at scale, in environments where it is hardest to achieve and least tolerant of failure. This is not incremental software; it is long-term infrastructure designed to endure, integrate, and evolve alongside the systems it supports. The Reasoning Layer is a modular architecture where data is connected, governed, transformed, represented, fused, reasoned over, and delivered into mission applications and operational workflows. It enables systems of record to function better together. The Reasoning Layer is comprised of: ORCUS (ingestion, orchestration, governance), NEXUS (semantic representation, vectorization), HALO (graph-based fusion and reasoning) and various product and capability components deployed for specific customer use cases. We are seeking candidates who approach problems creatively, are comfortable operating without full clarity, and take responsibility for outcomes, not just implementation. If you’re driven to strengthen U.S. defense readiness and protect national interests, Torch.AI offers meaningful impact at national scale. Torch.AI was founded on a simple operational insight: better use of data leads to better decisions. As data volumes increased across commercial, enterprise, and national security environments, the limiting factor was not collection, storage, or user interface design. The missing layer was machine understanding. And an infrastructure that could operate and reason between layers, preserve context, reconcile meaning, and make data useful for decisions in real time. We believe the government must own its data and decision environment. In mission and operational environments, the layer where data becomes context, context informs models, models support decisions, and decisions shape action cannot be controlled entirely by private technology vendors. Ownership does not mean the government must build every component itself. It means the government maintains stewardship and authority over the mission and operational layer. Commercial software, models, and services can contribute to the environment, but they should not capture the mission. We are craftsmen. We build with intention. We ship with discipline. You’ll collaborate with engineers, data experts, veterans, and mission practitioners. 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. People who do well here tend to approach problems similarly. They are comfortable operating without full clarity. They pay attention to what actually happens, not just what was intended. They are willing to be wrong, adjust quickly, and improve based on real feedback. They take responsibility for outcomes, not just implementation. This is not a good fit for someone who needs tightly defined problems or prefers distance from how their work is used.
