Senior AI/ML Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 5, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 2, 2026.
About the Role
Join an AI-focused team building the systems layer for a process intelligence platform. You will turn complex enterprise data into reliable, useful product experiences powered by hosted AI models.
What You'll Do
Build and maintain production AI services and pipelines, including retrieval, context construction, model selection, structured extraction, and orchestration.
Develop evaluation datasets, benchmarks, regression tests, guardrails, and fallback paths to measure and improve AI quality.
Monitor and debug production systems, addressing latency, cost, failures, and reliability.
Work across the pipeline from customer data to generated outputs, iterating on product features using customer feedback.
Make pragmatic build-versus-buy and refactoring decisions while owning projects from design through deployment and monitoring.
What We're Looking For
Four or more years of applied AI, ML, or production software engineering experience, with sustained ownership of shipped systems used by customers.
Strong Python skills, experience with asynchronous services, and familiarity with typed languages such as Go, C++, Java, Scala, or C.
Hands-on experience with hosted LLM APIs, RAG and retrieval, vector search, structured outputs, or agent orchestration.
Experience building AI evaluations or benchmarks and improving systems through regression testing, human review, or other quality measures.
Ability to reason end to end across data pipelines and user-facing product behavior, and to communicate clearly with customers.
Experience with production product engineering and customer feedback, ideally in an early-stage or fast-moving environment.
A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field.
Relevant tools and technologies include PostgreSQL, Redis, GCP, Terraform, Docker, Datadog, React, TypeScript, and AI model APIs.
Experience with enterprise documents, multimodal inputs, or process and workflow systems is helpful.
