You will design LLM-powered workflows, use AI coding tools to move fast without shipping fragile code, and make sure what we release is safe, explainable, and defensible. Strong programming fundamentals come first: AI tools amplify good engineers, they do not replace the judgment needed to review, debug, and own what goes to production.\n\nWhat You'll Do:\n\nGenerative AI:\n\n- Build and ship GenAI features - RAG pipelines, agents, tool-calling workflows, structured extraction, summarization.\n\n- Design, version, and test prompts; treat prompt changes as code changes with review.\n\n- Tune retrieval - embeddings, chunking, vector search, re-ranking - because retrieval quality decides output quality.\n\n- Integrate LLM APIs into backend services with proper timeouts, retries, fallbacks, and cost controls.\n\n- Build evaluation harnesses: quality metrics, curated test sets, regression checks before every release.\n\nAI-Assisted Development:\n\n- Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) daily to prototype, refactor, and ship faster.\n\n- Write precise specs and context for those tools - good output starts with a well-framed problem.\n\n- Review AI-generated code critically: hallucinated APIs, silent logic errors, missing edge cases, security gaps.\n\n- Own everything you commit, regardless of how it was produced; share effective practices with the team.\n\nAI Governance & Responsible AI:\n\n- Build guardrails into features: input validation, output filtering, PII handling, prompt-injection defenses, human-in-the-loop checkpoints.\n\n- Maintain traceability - logging, prompt and model versioning, audit trails for AI decisions.\n\n- Document model choices, known limitations, failure modes, and intended use for each AI feature.\n\n- Test for bias, unsafe output, and data leakage as a standard part of the release process.\n\n- Partner with legal, security, and compliance to keep systems aligned with internal policy and regulation.\n\nEngineering & Cloud:\n\n- Write clean, tested, documented production code and participate actively in code review.\n\n- Deploy and run containerized services on cloud infrastructure with monitoring, alerting, and secret management.\n\n- Work with product and design to scope what is realistically achievable with today's models.\n\nWhat We're Looking For:\n\nRequired:\n\n- 2+ years of software engineering experience, including hands-on work on GenAI or LLM-based systems.\n\n- Strong programming skills - deep Python fluency plus at least one other language (Go, Java, TypeScript, C++).\n\n- Something real you shipped and maintained on LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-weight models), not just tutorials.\n\n- Working knowledge of RAG: embeddings, chunking, vector search, and retrieval evaluation.\n\n- Fluent daily use of AI coding assistants, with the judgment to review and correct their output.\n\n- Awareness of AI risk - prompt injection, hallucination, data leakage, bias - and how to mitigate each in a real system.\n\n- Basic cloud competence on AWS, GCP, or Azure: deploy a containerized service, manage secrets, read logs and metrics.\n\n- Git, Docker, and CI/CD fluency, plus clear written communication about design decisions and tradeoffs.\n\nNice to Have:\n\n- Orchestration or agent frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, DSPy, tool-calling agents.\n\n- Vector databases: pgvector, Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate, or FAISS.\n\n- Evaluation and observability tooling: LangSmith, Langfuse, Weights & Biases, MLflow.\n\n- Fine-tuning experience (LoRA, QLoRA, SFT) with Hugging Face Transformers.\n\n- Security background - threat modeling, secure coding, or red-teaming AI systems.\n\n- Open-source contributions or public projects we can look at\nSkills\nMachine Learning, Generative AI, Python, LLM, AI Tools, LangChain","description_format":"text","description_chars":3883,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T22:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.6,"p_active":0.504,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":34,"expected_fill_days":16,"reasons":["seen:34","velocity","win:tail","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/a-services-company-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/a-services-company-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T22:55:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":37556,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3800646},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3800646"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fa-services-company-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fa-services-company-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fa-services-company-ai-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/a-services-company-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fa-services-company-ai-engineer"}]}
