Mission Solutions Architect II

Torch.AI • Leawood, KS

23h • Hybrid

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 infrastructure is 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. Torch.AI is seeking candidates who approach problems creatively, are comfortable operating without full clarity, and take responsibility for outcomes, not just implementation. This role offers the opportunity to strengthen U.S. defense readiness and protect national interests with meaningful impact at national scale.
