Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are Python (72), AWS (59), Kubernetes (52), JavaScript (50), Docker (45), CI/CD (44), PostgreSQL (41), and TypeScript (36). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
