About the program

Spiral Networks is looking for a mission-driven AI Systems Architect to join the team — our real-time AI-powered situational awareness platform. In this role you will design, build, and stress-test the AI pipeline that processes live video feeds, detects anomalies, and flags threats before they escalate. You will own the architecture from sensor input to alert output, while simultaneously acting as the team's red team lead — actively trying to break, fool, and bypass the system so we can harden it for real-world deployment. This is a builder's role at the intersection of computer vision, security engineering, and adversarial machine learning.

Jobs this program prepares you for

Design the video AI pipeline. Architect end-to-end ingestion, pre-processing, and inference workflows for live and recorded video streams using cloud-native and edge infrastructure.Build and tune detection models. Train, fine-tune, and evaluate computer vision and anomaly detection models. Establish benchmarks for accuracy, latency, and false-positive rates that meet operational thresholds.Conduct adversarial testing. Execute structured red-team campaigns against the AI system — crafting evasion attacks, data poisoning scenarios, environmental spoofing, and sensor manipulation tests to expose and close vulnerabilities before deployment.Document and brief findings. Produce clear technical reports, threat models, and risk assessments. Present findings to engineering and leadership in structured after-action style reviews.Mentor through live OJT. Work side-by-side with senior architects and SkillBridge participants in synchronous code walk through, sessions, meetings, and structured check-ins — minimum 120 hours of hands-on collaborative training across the three-phase program.Technical skills we are looking for:Computer vision & video AIAdversarial ML / red teamingPython, PyTorch, or TensorFlowAWS or cloud GPU infrastructureNVIDIA CUDA / edge inferenceSystems architecture & APIsCI/CD, MLOps, model monitoringSecurity frameworks & threat modeling

Eligibility & prerequisites

We strongly encourage applications from transitioning service members and veterans. The following military backgrounds map directly to the work here and will be given particular weight in our review:Intelligence, ISR, and surveillance operations. Experience interpreting real-time sensor and video data, assessing threat indicators, and making time-critical decisions under ambiguity directly parallels how SpiAlert classifies and prioritizes alerts.Cyber warfare, penetration testing, and offensive operations. Adversarial mindset, structured attack planning, and exploit documentation skills are exactly what the red-team function requires. Prior red team certification or offensive cyber experience is a strong differentiator.Signals intelligence and electronic warfare. Deep familiarity with signal collection pipelines, noise discrimination, and sensor fusion translates directly to building robust video and data ingestion systems that perform under degraded conditions.Military IT systems, network operations, and C4ISR. Experience managing secure communications infrastructure, network architecture, and mission-critical uptime requirements aligns with our reliability and latency standards for live alert delivery.Operations and planning experience (any MOS/rate with structured staff or command roles) Service members who have written operation orders, conducted after-action reviews, or managed complex multi-team coordination bring structured communication and documentation habits that accelerate our team's pace.

This is a fully remote position and is open to candidates nationwide.

How to apply

  1. Contact the provider using the website or email above. Ask about openings, start dates, and the application.
  2. Confirm eligibility. SkillBridge is generally for service members within 180 days of separation who have their command's approval.
  3. Get your unit commander's authorization following your branch's SkillBridge process. Start early; approvals take time.
  4. Read reviews from past participants on Rate My SkillBridge.
