The product is already deployed in large Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and runs on NVIDIA GPU infrastructure using open-source AI models.\n\nThis role sits at the intersection of AI research and production engineering. You will experiment with new models and techniques, but the goal is not research for its own sake — it is to improve accuracy, reduce latency and cost, and make the product increasingly autonomous.\nWhat You Will Work On\nExperiment with and evaluate the latest open-source LLMs and VLMs for document understanding, extraction, reasoning and classification.\nBenchmark models for accuracy, latency, throughput and GPU utilization and make recommendations for production adoption.\nOptimize AI inference pipelines to improve response time, throughput and infrastructure efficiency.\nDevelop and deploy Agentic AI workflows that can autonomously execute multi-step document processing and tender evaluation tasks.\nDesign agents capable of planning, reasoning, tool use, information retrieval and validation across complex procurement workflows.\nBuild production-grade pipelines for processing large, complex and highly unstructured documents.\nWork on techniques such as RAG, structured extraction, reranking, model routing, prompt engineering and evaluation.\nFine-tune or adapt models where appropriate to improve performance on domain-specific procurement tasks.\nWork closely with product and domain teams to translate business requirements into AI capabilities.\nProfile and optimize GPU workloads across NVIDIA GPU infrastructure.\nDevelop robust evaluation frameworks to continuously measure LLM accuracy, hallucination, latency and reliability.\nStay current with developments in open-source models, inference frameworks and agentic AI, and rapidly prototype promising approaches.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust Have\n3–5 years of hands-on experience building and deploying AI/ML systems.\nStrong Python programming and software engineering fundamentals.\nStrong understanding of Generative AI / LLMs and modern AI application architectures.\nHands-on experience deploying models in production environments.\nExperience with open-source LLMs such as Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek or similar models.\nExperience with GPU-based inference and optimization.\nStrong understanding of model performance metrics including latency, throughput, concurrency and GPU utilization.\nExperience with Docker and Linux; Kubernetes is a strong plus.\nAbility to read research papers, understand new techniques and turn them into working production systems.\nStrong problem-solving mindset and willingness to experiment rapidly.\nGood to Have\nExperience with NVIDIA GPUs, CUDA, TensorRT, Triton Inference Server, vLLM or NVIDIA NIM.\nExperience with Agentic AI / AI agents, tool calling, orchestration and multi-agent workflows.\nExperience with RAG, vector databases, embeddings and reranking.\nExperience with LLM/VLM evaluation and benchmarking.\nExperience with document AI, OCR, document understanding or multimodal models.\nExperience with PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers and PEFT/LoRA.\nFamiliarity with cloud or on-prem GPU deployments.\nExperience working with large-scale enterprise AI deployments.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nIn this role, you will be expected to move beyond simply integrating LLM APIs. You will help us answer questions such as:\nCan we make the model 20% more accurate\nCan we reduce inference latency by 30%\nCan we run the workload on fewer GPUs\nCan an AI agent autonomously complete a document evaluation workflow that currently requires human intervention\nCan we reliably deploy a new open-source model into production without compromising quality\nYou will have significant ownership in taking these ideas from experiment → benchmark → engineering → production.\n\nWhy Join Us\nYou will work on an AI product that is already solving real enterprise problems in production, rather than building prototypes that never leave the lab.\nThe role offers an opportunity to work across:\nOpen-source AI models → AI research → GPU optimization → Agentic AI → Production engineering → Enterprise deployment\nIf you enjoy going deep into models, experimenting with new AI techniques, writing production-grade code and seeing your work directly improve a live AI product, this role is for you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4647,"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":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T20:09:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["seen:6","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/valiance-artificial-intelligence-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/valiance-artificial-intelligence-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T07:59:42Z","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":12355,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3997487},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3997487"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvaliance-artificial-intelligence-engineer"},{"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%2Fvaliance-artificial-intelligence-engineer"},{"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%2Fvaliance-artificial-intelligence-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/valiance-artificial-intelligence-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvaliance-artificial-intelligence-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3249495}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"valiance.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3249495},"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.
