You will lead a multidisciplinary team of ML engineers, data scientists, and software engineers who ship real-time inference at scale, automated red-teaming of GenAI systems, and the Databricks/Spark data platform underneath. This is a hands-on people-leadership role: you set technical direction, are accountable for delivery and quality, and you build and grow the team.\nWhat your team owns\nThe group is responsible for a large Python + Rust + PySpark monorepo (dozens of production services and shared libraries) spanning three connected domains:\n1. Content-moderation inference at scale\nReal-time, multi-tenant detection across text, image, video, and audio - hate speech, CSAM, nudity, child grooming, extremism, PII, prompt injection, age estimation, and more - served through an in-house ActiveServe framework over NVIDIA Triton and a Rust detection monolith, on latency-sensitive, SLA-bound, customer-facing traffic with per-customer custom models.\n2. GenAI safety & red-teaming\nAutomated red-teaming that attacks customers' LLM applications with a research-driven attack taxonomy and measures attack-success rate, alongside the defensive side - LLM-as-judge escalation to cut false positives and the tooling that authors and refines moderation policies - built on a multi-provider LLM foundation (Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI Grok) and forming Alice's leading edge into agentic-AI safety.\n3. Data platform & MLOps\nAn end-to-end lakehouse and MLOps stack on Databricks - bronze/silver/gold ingestion, PySpark pipelines, and model training, versioning, and promotion through MLflow / Unity Catalog into Triton serving - with the performance-critical hot paths engineered in Rust (PyO3/maturin) for sub-millisecond, high-QPS matching and detection.\nWhat you'll do\nLead and grow the team - mentor ML engineers, data scientists, and software engineers, and own hiring, onboarding, 1:1s, career development, and performance.\nSet direction and deliver - set technical direction and standards, turn company and product goals into a prioritized roadmap, and own the quality, reliability, and delivery of the systems above across parallel workstreams.\nChampion excellence and partnership - stay hands-on to review designs and unblock the team, drive engineering excellence (testing, observability, CI/CD, on-call, cost/latency), keep the team at the state of the art in ML, LLMs, and GenAI safety, and partner with Product, Platform, and GenAI-safety stakeholders.\nLeadership competencies\nPeople-first: builds trust, grows engineers, and creates a healthy, inclusive, high-ownership culture.\nOutcome-oriented: drives clarity, sets priorities, and delivers under ambiguity without micromanaging.\nTechnical credibility: earns the team's respect through sound judgment on architecture and trade-offs.\nSystems thinker: balances short-term delivery against long-term platform health, cost, and tech debt.\nRequirements\nWhat we're looking for (must-have)\nLeadership & communication - a proven people manager of engineering or data-science teams (or a strong tech lead ready to step into formal management), with excellent communication and stakeholder management.\nHands-on engineering and ML at scale - strong production Python and software-engineering background with solid ML / data-science foundations (training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring), running services at scale on AWS and Kubernetes and large-scale data on Spark/PySpark and a lakehouse (Databricks or equivalent).\nAI-augmented engineering - deep, daily fluency with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex), with the judgment to raise the whole team's leverage and set how these tools are used well.\nNice to have\nExperience with LLMs / GenAI in production - prompting, evaluation, guardrails, red-teaming, or agentic systems.\nExperience with model serving on NVIDIA Triton (or similar) and the MLflow / Unity Catalog lifecycle.\nFamiliarity with Rust and Python/Rust interop (PyO3/maturin) for performance-critical paths.\nBackground in GenAI safety and security, content moderation, or another domain where model quality has real-world stakes.\nExperience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).\nAbout Alice\nAlice is a trust, safety, and security company built for the AI era. We safeguard the communicative technologies people use to create, collaborate, and interact- whether with each other or with machines.\nIn a world where AI has fundamentally changed the nature of risk, Alice provides end-to-end coverage across the entire AI lifecycle. We support frontier model labs, enterprises, and UGC platforms with a comprehensive suite of solutions: from model hardening evaluations and pre-deployment red-teaming to runtime guardrails and ongoing drift detection.\nAlice is widely considered a global leader in online safety and AI security. We have some of the most forward-thinking and passionate minds in the world working to safeguard over 3 billion users across the largest AI and tech platforms.\nIf you're creative and driven to secure the future of AI, we want to hear from you!","description_format":"text","description_chars":5301,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","LLM & Generative AI","Threat Intelligence","Foundation Models"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T23:09:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.507,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":48,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/alice-data-science-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/alice-data-science-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T15:29:03Z","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":23648,"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":54114},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54114"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Falice-data-science-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Falice-data-science-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Falice-data-science-engineering-manager"},{"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/alice-data-science-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Falice-data-science-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":984516}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"alice.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":984516},"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); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
