You will be a key member of our fast-growing and high-performing applied AI engineering org, setting the 'what' and 'why' for every DS problem we tackle: context engineering, MCP/tool registry, AMA, multi-agent orchestration, deep agents, eval frameworks, prompt optimization, AI guardrails, feedback loops, and more. You'll think like a staff DS, operate like an EM, and ship like a founder => prototype alongside the team when it matters and step back to coach when it doesn't. You will be working in lockstep with the AI Platform, product PDE teams, and other stakeholder teams.\nThe core responsibilities for the job include the following:\nProduct and Delivery:\nOwn the DS roadmap: Partner with Product and Engineering to translate ambiguous org bets into scoped DS problems with measurable hypotheses.\nDrive cross-functional alignment: Work in lockstep with AI Platform, Product, and GTM to ensure DS work lands in production with real user impact.\nBalance research with shipping: Decide when to explore, when to converge, and when to kill a bet and make those trade-offs legible to leadership.\nResearch and Technical Direction:\nSet the technical direction for agent frameworks, MCP tool registries, and multi-agent orchestration patterns.\nOwn the eval strategy: Define what \"good\" means for each DS system; offline benchmarks, online metrics, regression gates, and human feedback loops.\nPrototype when it matters: Stay hands-on enough to independently build a working agent, retrieval pipeline, or eval harness to unblock the team or validate a new direction.\nPeople and Leadership:\nLead a team of data scientists working on the hardest problems in applied GenAI: context, agents, AI evaluations, AI safety and guardrails, and feedback systems.\nDevelop your people: 1:1s, career development, performance reviews, and clear growth paths.\nDrive hiring excellence: Source, interview, and close exceptional DS talent across I2 to I4 levels.\nProcess and Operational Excellence:\nChampion research rigor: Establish norms for AI SDLC, experiment/prototyping hygiene, design reviews, prompt critiques, etc.\nTrack what matters: Drive DS-specific metrics like evaluation coverage, model/prompt quality trends, experiment velocity, and feedback-loop latency.\nOptimize team delivery: Unblock ICs, allocate research vs. productionization effort, and maintain a sustainable pace of iteration. In addition to working with amazing colleagues who exemplify our team's core value of 'over self, ' you will also have the opportunity to make a traditional data science org into an AI-native org. You will have an opportunity to make a difference.\nRequirements:\n8-11 years total experience, with 6-7+ years hands-on in applied data science / ML.\n2+ years of shipping production LLM / GenAI systems (Graph RAG, agents, fine-tuning, evals, guardrails, etc. ).\n1+ year of direct people management, ideally as an early EM or tech/team lead managing/mentoring 3-6 ICs.\nTrack record of DS thought leadership: framing ambiguous AI problems into measurable bets, killing what doesn't work, and doubling down on what does.\nDeep fluency in AI eval design, context engineering, retrieval, agent frameworks, MCP, AI guardrails, prompt optimization, and feedback-loop instrumentation.\nStrong Python prototyping: can independently build a working agent, retrieval pipeline, or eval harness in days.\nAI-native practitioner: treats AI as core infrastructure, not a novelty; deep daily use of coding assistants and automation with LLM APIs; and a \"try it with AI first\" mindset.\nCrisp written communication: design docs, research memos, and postmortems that travel beyond the team.\nNice to have: production multi-agent orchestration, enterprise SaaS/revenue-tech domain, open-source or published work in GenAI.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3879,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":1,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CRM Software","Sales Enablement","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-28T02:37:44Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 11 · green card filings: 11","filings_12m":11,"filings_prev_12m":14,"green_card_filings_12m":11,"median_offered_wage_usd":185000,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.524,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":50,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["seen:50","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/clari-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/clari-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T20:40:05Z","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":4749,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2717},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2717"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fclari-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%2Fclari-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%2Fclari-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/clari-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fclari-engineering-manager"}]}
