As the most senior IC on the applied AI team, you will set the engineering standard the rest of the team builds against and own the hardest implementation problems.\nJoin us as an Applied AI Engineer on our Security Resiliency team in Bangalore to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact.\nWhat you'll achieve\nYou will set the technical bar for how AI-native security workflows are built, instrumented and hardened for production.\n\nYou will own consolidation of duplicated processes into single, reusable implementations that every dependent function shares.\n\nYou will establish the reusable agent patterns, context strategy and integration surfaces that every later workflow builds on.\n\nYou will:\nArchitect agentic implementations using LangGraph(or equivalent orchestration) - sub-agent delegation, state and checkpoint handling, and deterministic gating and verdict logic - from approved solution designs.\n\nOwn context engineering end to end:retrieval and search, memory, embedding-based grounding against enterprise data, prompt assembly and schema-constrained output under real payload sizes.\n\nInstrument production systems with LangFuse(or equivalent) for tracing, token/cost accounting and latency measurement, deploying on Kubernetes and Docker with PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch as the data and retrieval layers.\n\nWork directly with functional owners to establish operational detail a design does not carry, and re-engineer the process itself rather than reproducing it step for step.\n\nResolve production defects escalated from agent operations at root cause, andraise design gaps to the solution owner rather than resolving them unilaterally in code.\n\nTake the first step towards your dream career\nEvery Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table. Here’s what we are looking for with this role:\nEssential Requirements\n12+ years in software engineering with direct ownership of systems in production; agentic systems personally built and shipped, not prototypes or proofs of concept.\n\nStrong Python plus one of TypeScript/JavaScript or Go, with deep code-quality practice (testing, review, refactoring) at scale.\n\nDeep hands-on experience with LangGraph(or equivalent), embedding concepts, retrieval-augmented generation and LLM observability tooling such as LangFuse.\n\nProduction-grade command of Kubernetes, Docker, PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch, plus REST/GraphQLAPIs, OAuth and scoped credential handling.\n\nProcess re-engineering experience: rebuilding a manual or fragmented workflow around what agentic automation makes possible, working directly with the people who perform it today.\n\nDesirable Requirements\nExperience building MCP servers or agent tooling, and working knowledge of agentic orchestration frameworks beyond LangGraph, with judgment on when to use them versus build custom.\n\nLLMOpsin production and security-domain AI experience (application security, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, software supply-chain security).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3184,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"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":["Enterprise Storage Systems","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Laptops"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T16:07:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":87,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.868,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":6,"reasons":["conf:5","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dell-technologies-senior-principal-software-engineer-it-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dell-technologies-senior-principal-software-engineer-it-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T23:27:36Z","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":32076,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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":89},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=89"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdell-technologies-senior-principal-software-engineer-it-3"},{"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%2Fdell-technologies-senior-principal-software-engineer-it-3"},{"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%2Fdell-technologies-senior-principal-software-engineer-it-3"},{"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/dell-technologies-senior-principal-software-engineer-it-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdell-technologies-senior-principal-software-engineer-it-3"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3280245}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"dell.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3280245},"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.
