Focus your energy on being who YOU are. Be true to yourself. Authenticity also extends to our products. Understanding where we are truly the best fit for our customers and when we are not. And finally, authenticity in relationships: ensuring that we are honest and do what we say we're going to do.\n\nGrit - To win we need to want it. Every team member needs to be able to jump in and help at every turn. Whether it's staying late to help a colleague or customer or finding a better process and making sure it's communicated cross-functionally. You just have to do it and love it...and never stop trying.\n\nEmpathy - We need to care about each other, about our clients, about our business, and about the world around us. That might seem like a tall order, but if we don't live in a constant state of empathy, if we don't strive to truly put ourselves in another person's shoes, we cannot truly serve the market.\n\n\"We are at our best when we stay true to our Core Values.\" ~ Simon Taylor, CEO\nSkills\nGenerative AI, LLMs, Large Language Models, Python, RAG, Retrieval-Augmented Generation","description_format":"text","description_chars":4777,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Backup & Disaster Recovery","Observability & APM"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T21:35:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T23:05:29Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hycu-applied-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hycu-applied-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T23:05:29Z","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":48847,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":20948},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20948"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhycu-applied-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fhycu-applied-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fhycu-applied-ai-engineer"},{"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/hycu-applied-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhycu-applied-ai-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4199705}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hycu.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4199705},"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.
