To do that, we’re building AI systems that continuously discover, ingest, structure, and make sense of laws, regulations, guidance, enforcement actions, and other government publications from thousands of official sources.\nThis is not a traditional Data Engineering role: Our challenge isn’t moving data around internal systems, it’s reliably collecting and structuring unstructured information across independent sources. You’ll have a high amount of ownership over the architecture and approaches we use to solve these problems.\nIn this role, you might design a new ingestion system, model for representing relationships between laws and agencies, build an agent that finds gaps or inconsistencies across millions of records, improve the search quality or figure out how to classify documents.\nYou should apply if:\nYou’re an experienced engineer who enjoys difficult data problems and wants to build systems that turn messy, unstructured information into something reliable that powers the core product.\nWhat you will do:\nDesign, build and maintain a system for tracking millions of laws and regulations across thousands of official websites\nMaintain an ontology, mappings, and the data model that Regbase uses\nBuild AI agents that investigate anomalies, identify missing coverage, and automatically correct data issues\nDevelop systems for measuring and improving the completeness, freshness, and accuracy of Regbase’s corpus\nImprove how regulatory information is classified, indexed, searched, and retrieved\nTurn regulatory information into useful product capabilities\nContribute improvements to the core product as you discover new ways our data can be used\nBecome knowledgeable about legal systems around the world\nAbout you:\n5+ years of experience Data Engineering or Software Engineering\nHave worked on large scale data systems before\nCare deeply about correctness, provenance, and reliability\nIntellectually curious and willing to dive deeply into unfamiliar domains\nExcited about using LLMs and other modern techniques where they outperform traditional approaches, and using traditional approaches where they do not\nComfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems and figuring out the right approach\nLeverage AI in your daily life and work\nBonus if you are:\nComfortable in Typescript\nExperienced in building web crawlers, ingestion pipelines, search systems, or knowledge\nExperienced in working with government, legal, financial, or other complex public datasets\nLocated in or are willing to relocate to New York\nWhat We Provide:\nWork directly with the CTO (former staff engineer at Vercel) and CEO\nA flexible, fast-paced work environment\nThe opportunity to work across engineering and product\nNo limit to personal growth\nOutsized ownership over your work\nA salary of $175k-250k per year\nEquity of 0.1-0.5%\nQuick 30 minute tech screen call\n2 1-hour technical interviews with CTO (Ethan Shea, former staff engineer at Vercel)\n1 hour interview with CEO\nIf you’re available, ideally we would like to do a paid 3-5 day work trial and see if it’s a good fit, or a take-home project","description_format":"text","description_chars":3163,"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":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T19:18:01Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T20:45:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/regbase-data-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/regbase-data-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-23T20:45:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
