Staff Front End Engineer

About us:

Let's be real—AI isn’t magic; it’s a tool, and its strength comes from the systems, workflows, and, most importantly, the people behind it. At Legion Intelligence, we’re unlocking hard-to-find, unstructured data that was previously out of reach and simplifying access to structured systems that once required expert help. The result? A secure, knowledge platform that’s actually designed to serve people—wherever they work.

Born from a partnership with the Department of Defense to meet the demands of mission-critical environments, Legion Intelligence is redefining how teams harness AI for productivity and performance. 

In collaboration with Nvidia, HPE, and Oracle, we offer secure and innovative solutions, including air-gapped deployments for defense, a full ML ops and analytics framework to drive cost efficiencies, and a world-class, proprietary RAG system that serves answers you can trust. Yurts unifies applications, data, and workflows, protecting investments and saving customers money.

We’re looking for bold thinkers and doers to join us in redefining how teams harness AI for productivity and performance. Be part of building solutions that elevate both technology and the people who use it. Together, we’ll shape the next generation of secure, human-centered AI innovation.
