You understand that picking the right tool - whether that’s a decision tree, a language model, or a carefully chosen heuristic - matters more than chasing the latest trend. And you’re just as comfortable explaining your approach to a non-technical stakeholder as you are digging deep into a messy dataset.\nDoes this sound like you? Great!\nWe’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to work across Expel, using both traditional machine learning and generative AI to solve meaningful problems. You’ll help teams develop the right metrics to measure what matters, build models that surface threats in our customers’ environments, and design AI-powered tools that make our analysts faster and smarter. Some of the most interesting work sits right at the intersection of GenAI and classical ML - and you’ll help us figure out where each approach wins.\nOur team values collaboration, curiosity, and a “how can I help?” attitude. If you care about making data science accessible to everyone - and find mentorship rewarding - let’s talk.\nWhat Expel Can Do For You\nProvide opportunities where your decisions have a direct impact on our company and our customers\nGive you real, hard problems at the frontier of both GenAI and traditional ML in a security context\nEmpower you to scale yourself by teaching others what responsible, non-hyped AI looks like in practice\nChallenge you to push the boundaries of our data science, security, and technology vision\nOffer an entertaining, small, and highly transparent environment where your voice matters\nWhat You Can Do For Expel\nBuild and ship ML and GenAI systems - from anomaly detection models to LLM-powered analyst tools and agentic workflows - across the full lifecycle from research to production\nBring stakeholders along by clearly communicating the what, why, and how of your work, including successes and failures\nWork across operations, engineering, and service delivery to ensure our AI and ML capabilities are easy to deploy, monitor, and maintain\nPartner with subject matter experts to explore where prompt engineering, knowledge retrieval, and agentic AI can deliver real value alongside classical approaches\nFoster an atmosphere of experimentation, continuous learning, and improvement\nStay current on emerging techniques, papers, and tools - and bring relevant ideas back to the team\nMentor and coach other data scientists and curious non-DS colleagues\nWhat You Should Bring With You\n4+ years of professional data science experience building and shipping models in production\nSolid grounding in traditional ML: classification, regression, anomaly detection, clustering, time series - using frameworks like scikit-learn or statsmodels\nHands-on experience with large language models, prompt engineering, and LLM application architectures including knowledge retrieval and grounding (e.g., embeddings-based search, vector stores)\nExperience building or contributing to LLM-powered agentic systems, including tool use and orchestration with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar\nStrong Python and SQL skills, utilizing core data libraries (pandas/numpy) and visual toolkits (plotly/seaborn/matplotlib) to transform complex analysis into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders and cross-functional peers\nSolid statistical foundations: distributions, hypothesis testing, probability, and the wisdom to know when a simpler model is the right one\nExemplary collaboration skills that result in higher levels of team confidence and, morale, streamlining requirements gathering to drive superior output\nAbility to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences\nPassion for finding order and meaning in large, chaotic data sets\nDomain experience in cybersecurity (anomaly detection, threat hunting, risk scoring) is a strong plus\nThe Details\nThe base salary range for this role is between $142,900 USD and $207,200 USD + bonus eligibility and equity.\nWe believe in paying transparently and equitably. Your salary will ultimately be based on factors such as your experience, skills, team equity, and market data. You’ll also be eligible for unlimited PTO (which we model and encourage), work location flexibility, up to 24 weeks of parental leave, and really excellent health benefits.\nWe're only hiring those authorized to work in the United States.\nWe're an Equal Opportunity Employer: You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or on the basis of disability.\nWe’ll ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform crucial job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please let us know if you need accommodation of any kind.\nSalary Range\n$142,900—$207,200 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":5045,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Equity","Parental leave","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Security Operations","Managed Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-11T14:59:09Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-08-26T10:00:18Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-30T15:48:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.366,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":144,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":207200,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/expel-senior-data-scientist-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/expel-senior-data-scientist-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T03:46:02Z","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":5885,"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":11770},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=11770"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fexpel-senior-data-scientist-2"},{"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%2Fexpel-senior-data-scientist-2"},{"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%2Fexpel-senior-data-scientist-2"},{"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/expel-senior-data-scientist-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fexpel-senior-data-scientist-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":72559}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"expel.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":72559},"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.
