Join our Deloitte AI & Engineering team to transform technology platforms, drive innovation, and help make a significant impact on our clients’ success. You’ll work alongside talented professionals reimagining and reengineering operations and processes that are critical to businesses. Your contributions can help clients improve financial performance, accelerate new digital ventures, and fuel growth through innovation.

Work You’ll Do

As a Project Software Engineer III on the Government & Public Services team, you will be responsible for backend development to design, build, test, and sustain the services supporting a secure AI-enabled platform that accelerates medical waiver review.

Design and develop scalable backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and integrations for document ingestion and AI processing.
Support processing of machine-generated and scanned PDFs, including OCR and extraction of structured medical information.
Implement workflows for case intake, role-based routing, physician and technician review, feedback capture, and secure export.
Integrate AI/ML services that identify relevant conditions, link findings to source documents, and support QUAL, WAVR, and DISQ recommendations.
Build audit trails, performance metrics, dashboards, and system logging to support transparency and traceability.
Implement secure authentication, authorization, encryption, and data handling for CUI, PII, and PHI in an IL4 environment.
Develop APIs and integration patterns that support future connectivity with AFRISS-TF and AFRISS 2.0.
Collaborate with AI/ML engineers, frontend developers, cybersecurity personnel, medical SMEs, and government stakeholders.
Participate in testing, UAT support, performance tuning, documentation, deployment, sustainment, and knowledge transfer.

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
Effective written and verbal communication skills
Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
Ability to lead projects or workstreams
Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
Strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor
Ability to meet deadlines
Ability to provide clear guidance to others

The Team

Deloitte’s Government & Public Services (GPS) practice - our people, ideas, technology and outcomes - is designed for impact. Serving federal, state, & local government clients as well as public higher education institutions, our team of professionals brings fresh perspective to help clients anticipate disruption, reimagine the possible, and fulfill their mission promise.

Our Engineering as a Service offering provides end-to-end design, implementation, and technology operations, leveraging our core engineering expertise. We help transform engineering teams, modernize technology, & deliver complex programs with a product engineering mindset. Our flexible delivery models - traditional teams, pools, or pods, are tailored for each client’s needs, offering engineering-led Advise, Implement, & Operate capabilities to accelerate innovation.

The Project Delivery Talent Model is designed for professionals with specialized skills that align to a current client need. Team members focus on delivering services to clients, without additional expectations related to business development or promotion. Their employment is tied to their role on a project, and they are eligible for a benefits package that is competitive for project delivery-focused professionals.

Qualifications

Required:

Bachelor’s degree
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future
4+ years of experience in Java programming - the language and the JVM, not just a framework built on top of it
4+ years of experience with design patterns and principles - Command, Strategy, Factory, etc., and applying one without overengineering
4+ years of experience in API design - versioning, idempotency, error handling, and the tradeoffs between REST, RPC, and event-driven approaches
4+ years of experience in database management - schema design, indexing, query optimization, and transaction/isolation semantics
4+ years of experience in memory management - can explain heap vs. stack, garbage collection behavior, and how to diagnose a memory leak
4+ years of experience in Cyber Analytics * 4+ years of experience in Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled. At Deloitte, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is $95,600 to $188,400.

You may also be eligible to participate in a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing the program, whereby an award, if any, depends on various factors, including, without limitation, individual and organizational performance.
