We’re hiring a hands-on Data Scientist II to design and deploy solutions across Generative AI, agentic systems, deep learning, and classical ML. You’ll own systems end-to-end - from rapid prototyping to scalable production - working close to real business problems. Pharma or life-sciences experience is a strong plus.\nKey Responsibilities\n GenAI & Agents: Build and deploy Generative AI solutions - agentic systems and RAG pipelines - including agents that reason, use tools, and act over structured (databases, APIs) and unstructured data.\nMulti-Agent Orchestration: Design multi-agent workflows using patterns like ReACT, planner-executor, and agent-critique to break down and solve complex tasks.\nReliability & Evaluation: Establish evaluation frameworks - LLM-as-a-judge, groundedness/faithfulness, hallucination detection - to test and ensure the safety and accuracy of LLM systems.\n End-to-End ML: Apply forecasting, CLV, recommendation, and NLP techniques, owning the full lifecycle from prototype to scalable, low-latency deployment (Docker, AWS).\nBig Data: Process billions of records with PySpark to engineer features and extract actionable insights.\nExperimentation: Run experiments and EDA to validate hypotheses, and communicate results and solution outlines clearly to stakeholders.\nMentorship: Mentor junior team members and bridge business problems and data science across engineering and product teams.\nCore Qualifications & Skills\n3-4 years building and deploying machine-learning models in production.\nGenerative AI with LLMs - RAG (chunking, embeddings, vector search with Pinecone/Milvus/Weaviate, re-ranking) and agentic frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph).\nHands-on with tool use / function calling, prompt engineering, and structured outputs / guardrails.\nStrong classical ML and deep learning (ANN, CNNs, LSTMs, Transformers).\nTraditional NLP: Transformers (BERT, T5, GPT), Word2Vec, NER, topic modeling, contrastive learning.\nExpert Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and strong SQL; PySpark for distributed processing.\nSolid system design and MLOps - Docker and AWS (S3, Lambda, ECR, Step Functions).\nPreferred Qualifications\nPharma or life-sciences domain, with claims data and commercial analytics.\nFine-tuning open-source LLMs (Llama, Mistral) for specific tasks.\nLatest agentic systems - MCP and multi-agent frameworks (AutoGen, CrewAI).\nAdvanced ML: PU learning, representation learning, and model explainability.\nDomain models such as Marketing Mix Models (MMM), demand forecasting, or multi-dimensional time-series.\nOpen-source AI/ML contributions or publications.\nBenefits & Perks\nCompetitive ESOP grants.\nWorking with Fortune 500 companies and world-class teams.\nPublishing papers and attending conferences.\nNetworking events, conferences, and seminars.\nVisibility across all functions at Akaike - sales, pre-sales, lead generation, marketing, and hiring.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3163,"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":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-03T13:24:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.332,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":46,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:4","agency","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T04:46:50Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/akaike-data-scientist-ii","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/akaike-data-scientist-ii.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T04:46:50Z","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":7380,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4457962},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4457962"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fakaike-data-scientist-ii"},{"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%2Fakaike-data-scientist-ii"},{"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%2Fakaike-data-scientist-ii"},{"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/akaike-data-scientist-ii\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fakaike-data-scientist-ii"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3681770}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"akaike.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3681770},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
