Instrument deployed agents to trace what they do and how they do it (reasoning steps, tool calls, retrieval, handoffs), so behavior can be explained after the fact.\nBenchmark across LLMs. Run the same agent against different models and compare quality, cost, latency, and failure modes.\nMeasure behavior. Define and track accuracy, reliability, and repeatability metrics. Build evaluation harnesses that run on live or production-like traffic, not just offline test sets.\nOwn runtime performance and scalability. Find bottlenecks under real load, such as model latency, tool-call chains, and token usage, and tune for throughput and concurrency.\n Protect chat UX. Monitor and reduce response latency (his benchmark: 5 minutes is unacceptable). Track time-to-first-token, end-to-end response time, and session abandonment.\nValidate that the agent solves real user needs. Check that it handles genuine customer problems and not just general-purpose questions, using real usage data and feedback.\nGive pre-release confidence. Assess whether an agent will \"behave nicely\" in a customer's actual environment before DISW ships it.\n Evaluate and recommend tooling. Since this is a new area, help select or build the observability stack.\nSkill Requirements\nHands-on experience observing or evaluating an AI agent after deployment, in production or a production-like setup. Dev-only agent building doesn't qualify.\nAgent observability and tracing tools (for example LangSmith, Langfuse, Arize Phoenix, or OpenTelemetry-based tracing; these are examples, not names he gave).\nLLM and agent evaluation: metrics, test harnesses, regression testing, and handling non-determinism.\nExperience working with multiple LLMs and comparing them.\nPerformance engineering for LLM applications: latency profiling, load testing, caching, and scaling.\nFamiliarity with chat-based or conversational interfaces and their latency and UX constraints.\nOther Requirements\nPython, plus general monitoring and logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK or similar).\nAgent frameworks and architectures (RAG, tool use, multi-agent orchestration), enough to understand what's being observed.\nProduction and DevOps or SRE exposure, such as deployments, CI/CD, and incident analysis.\nData analysis, to turn traces and logs into insight about behavior.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2515,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Systems Integrators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T17:55:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:2","wave","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-senior-data-scientist-5","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-senior-data-scientist-5.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T08:37:34Z","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":12947,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"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":225},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=225"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhcltech-senior-data-scientist-5"},{"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%2Fhcltech-senior-data-scientist-5"},{"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%2Fhcltech-senior-data-scientist-5"},{"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/hcltech-senior-data-scientist-5\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhcltech-senior-data-scientist-5"}]}
