You'll be one of a handful of people responsible for the data behind IPinfo's location and context products, working on ambiguous problems with messy inputs and owning your pipelines end to end - including understanding every line you ship.\nWhat you'll do\nMake sense of large, unfamiliar datasetssourced from publicly-contributed (and therefore inconsistent) datasets like OpenStreetMap and Overture, as well as error-prone device datasets with sometimes dozens of poorly-documented columns. Your job is to wade through these datasets, figure out what is going on, and extract a meaningful signal.\nMaintain and extend BigQuery data pipelines, writing efficient, transparent code that achieves complex data tasks while avoiding bloat and spaghetti.\nWork with particular expertise on Geospatial data, knowing the suite of BigQuery geospatial tools like the back of your hand, while dealing with the particular headaches and challenges that geospatial data poses. Occasionally working in python as well.\nUse AI tooling to move quickly while fully owning every line in your PRs.\nCommunicate problems and solutions clearlyusing our internal issue-tracking platform; writing concise, reproducible records of the problem, the proposed solutions, and why you made the calls you did, so others can follow and build on them.\nWork occasionally on web-based dashboardsto provide visibility to our data pipelines for data engineers as well as others at the company.\nWhat we're looking for\nMust have\nAdvanced SQL- window functions, CTEs, query restructuring for performance, and an understanding of why a query is slow and how to fix it. BigQuery is a strong plus.\nStrong communication skills- you know how to talk and write about complex problems and data pipelines productively.\nA track record of turning messy, ambiguous data into reliable, interpretable signals, with the judgment to explain your calls.\nAn internet record of significant experienceas a data scientist or engineer, on Github, StackOverflow, in the academic literature or on a personal blog, or strong references to back up a track record on proprietary code bases.\nClean-code discipline: you don't ship code without tests, code review, readable abstractions. You prefer subtractive solutions to additive solutions.\nFast learning- comfort becoming productive in unfamiliar domains (internet measurement, geospatial reasoning, internal tooling) with little hand-holding.\nAI-assisted development paired with full ownership- you can read, debug, and defend everything the tools produce.\nGeospatial fundamentals: coordinate systems, spatial joins, containment, polygon operations.\nNice to have\nCloud tooling and workflow orchestration (CI/CD, Docker, Airflow, etc.).\nJavaScript and web dashboards(e.g. Retool, Mapbox, internal validation and visualization tooling).\nExposure to the science of internet measurement: BGP/ASN, rDNS, RTT-based geolocation, CGNAT, mobile vs. fixed-line IP behavior, geofeeds.\nStrong Python for geospatial data work- comfortable with the data and geospatial stack (pandas, geopandas, shapely) and writing code that holds up in production, not just in a notebook.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3212,"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":["Cybersecurity","Education","Network Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T00:20:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":28,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.516,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":50,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ipinfo-data-engineer-ipinfo","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ipinfo-data-engineer-ipinfo.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T01:07:15Z","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":1560,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"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":10332},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=10332"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fipinfo-data-engineer-ipinfo"},{"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%2Fipinfo-data-engineer-ipinfo"},{"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%2Fipinfo-data-engineer-ipinfo"},{"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/ipinfo-data-engineer-ipinfo\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fipinfo-data-engineer-ipinfo"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":582975}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ipinfo.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":582975},"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.
