The role will assess model performance, methodology and risk, review policy compliance, and help project teams implement proportionate safeguards for safe and responsible AI adoption.\nKey ResponsibilitiesEvaluate models and methodology: Review AI use cases, data suitability, modelling assumptions, validation methods and performance measures. Conduct reproducible tests of accuracy, reliability, robustness, fairness and explainability, with findings documented for each assigned assessment.\nAssess AI risks and safeguards: Assess risk levels using applicable government and agency frameworks. For LLM and agentic systems, test relevant risks such as hallucination, prompt injection, sensitive data disclosure and unauthorised actions; recommend safeguards and assess residual risks.\nProcess governance reviews: Review submissions for completeness and policy compliance, obtain supporting evidence, coordinate clarifications, prepare assessment recommendations and route cases to the appropriate approving authority. Maintain case records and track approval conditions and remediation actions.\nImplement policies and controls: Translate applicable IM8, Whole-of-Government RAI and agency requirements into practical checklists, assessment templates and workflows. Review and update these materials as requirements and use cases evolve, under DSAD’s direction.\nDevelop evaluation and monitoring tools: Adapt reusable Python scripts, test sets and RAI tools with project teams and engineers. Define appropriate acceptance criteria and monitoring measures, and support reassessment following material changes or incidents.\nReport and transfer knowledge: Provide monthly updates on cases, risks, outstanding actions and delivery progress. Guide project teams on assessment requirements and hand over evaluation code, documentation and operating procedures to designated SWDA officers before contract completion.\nRequirements and QualificationsA. Educational Qualification and Experience\nEducation: Degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience.\nExperience: Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in data science, machine learning or AI, including hands-on model evaluation and validation. Candidates should have demonstrated experience with end-to-end data science projects, assessing technical limitations and communicating findings to stakeholders.\nB. Technical and Professional Competencies\nEssential (Must Have)\nStrong technical understanding of LLMs, especially how they work, how to do prompt engineering effectively, and how to build apps with them.\nGood understanding of key AI safety and/or algorithmic fairness concepts, especially in how to operationalise and apply them to AI systems.\nCompetent in Python programming, with some familiarity of cloud deployments for ML models and LLMs.\nAbility to apply RAI and risk assessment principles, assess policy compliance, document evidence and residual risks, and manage governance submissions and follow-up actions.\nPreferred (Advantageous)\nExperience with LLM safety testing, prompt injection testing, fairness assessments, explainability methods or guardrails such as NeMo Guardrails and LLM Guard.\nExperience adapting RAI evaluation tools, building test datasets or integrating evaluations and monitoring into AI workflows with engineering teams.\nFamiliarity with IM8 and the principles behind its requirements; ability to translate applicable requirements into practical checks and identify issues requiring escalation.\nExperience reviewing vendor-developed AI systems, cloud-based ML or LLM deployments, and supporting technical assurance or audit evidence.\nC. Soft Skills and Communication Attributes\nStrong analytical judgement and attention to detail, with the ability to challenge assumptions constructively and distinguish evidence from unsupported claims.\nClear written and verbal communication, including concise risk assessments and recommendations for technical teams, business owners and management.\nAbility to manage concurrent cases, follow through on outstanding actions and work independently while escalating material risks promptly.\nSkills\nAi, Process Review, Technical Skills, Mathematics, Model Evaluation, Teaching Qualification, Risk Management, requirements from stakeholders, Computer Science, Compliance Policy, AI Safety, Reproducibility, Agent Management System, Prompt Engineering, Education, Validation Studies","description_format":"text","description_chars":4738,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"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":["Artificial Intelligence","Web Development Services","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T10:32:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["seen:5","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":112284,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/neutron-data-scientist-ai-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/neutron-data-scientist-ai-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T19:19:42Z","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":1441,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3802293},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3802293"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fneutron-data-scientist-ai-engineering"},{"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%2Fneutron-data-scientist-ai-engineering"},{"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%2Fneutron-data-scientist-ai-engineering"},{"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/neutron-data-scientist-ai-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fneutron-data-scientist-ai-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3451555}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"neutron.sg","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3451555},"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.
