AI Practitioner

Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions. We build better by putting people first. We are animated by our core values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management and Inclusion. We deliver our solutions in autonomous teams of self-managed professionals (no managers here!) who genuinely care about each other and the work. We know that’s our company’s purpose – and that we can only achieve it by supporting a culture where people feel valued, self-managed, and love to come to work.

The role

If you have experience using AI and working across a range of disciplines, drop us a line using this application! We are excited to build a workforce of AI power users—individuals who leverage AI tools effectively, responsibly, and creatively in service of better government.

We welcome people from cross-functional, multi-disciplinary backgrounds who have experience with: engineering, product, design, data, research, and/or delivery. At Agile Six, our roles entail collaborating with cross-functional teams on projects for government agencies and the people they serve. 

Finally, we are deliberate about the culture we’re building. We look for folks with an adaptive, empathetic and collaborative mindset – folks who care deeply about their teammates. Most importantly, we look for people that have a passion for working on important problems that have a lasting impact on millions of users and make a difference in our government!
