AI & Automation Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Mar 16, 2026.
What you'll do
You'll design and ship AI systems and automation workflows that solve real business problems. You know when to reach for an LLM and when a simple rule or lookup table does the job better - and you build accordingly.
Experience with data engineering is a meaningful plus: DAGs, ETL pipelines, and agent workflows share the same core challenges around reliability, observability, and failure handling.
