There are no silos here. No \"that's not my area.\" If it ships, you own it.\nWe're hiring a full-stack software engineer who wants end-to-end ownership - backend, frontend, infrastructure touchpoints, and AI-driven workflows.\nIf you're looking for narrow scope or strict boundaries, this is not the role. If you like building real systems and taking responsibility for outcomes, read on.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn systems end-to-end - infrastructure, pipelines, and their behavior in production\nRun and evolve our cloud infrastructure - Kubernetes, Kafka, Terraform, GitOps (AWS today, multi-cloud ahead)\nBuild the data backbone - ingestion, streaming, and pipelines into our lakehouse that stay correct and affordable as volume grows\nBuild AI-native engineering workflows: Sandboxes and dev environments, Automated verification and guardrails, Feedback loops that keep quality up as output scales.\nBuild golden paths - repo to production without a human bottleneck\nUse Claude / Codex / AI copilots as default tools - not optional helpers\nDebug production issues across the stack (no handoffs)\nShip fast, learn fast, fix fast\nTake responsibility for what you build - including after it's live\nHard requirements (non-negotiable)\n6+ years as a software engineer, with real infrastructure and platform ownership\nYou build systems, not just configure them\nDeep Kubernetes: you've run production clusters and debugged them at 2am, not just deployed to them\nProduction experience with distributed data systems - Kafka or equivalent streaming, plus pipelines at meaningful scale\nInfrastructure as Code fluency, Terraform specifically\nDeep cloud experience - AWS, Azure, or GCP; networking, identity, and cost are things you actually think about\nDaily, heavy usage of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor - this is how we work)\nHigh ownership, low ego, high output\nWilling to work 5 days a week from our Tel Aviv office\nYou're likely a fit if\nYou treat developers - and agents - as your customers, and you obsess over their friction\nYou already let AI write large parts of your code, and you've built the checks that let you trust it\nYou've felt the pain of a slow CI pipeline or a flaky environment and fixed it instead of tolerating it\nYou care about behavior in production more than elegance in theory\nYou hate the phrase \"that's not my job\"\nYou move fast without breaking trust\nYou're comfortable working hard when it matters\nNice to have (strong signal)\nBuilt internal developer platforms or golden paths that engineers actually adopted\nLakehouse experience - Iceberg, Snowflake, ClickHouse, Athena, or similar\nMulti-cloud or cloud-migration experience - you've done it and know where the bodies are buried\nGitOps at scale (ArgoCD, Argo Workflows), autoscaling and cost engineering\nBackground in security, data-heavy, or enterprise systems\nExperience with AI-powered products in production, or with agent infrastructure and evals\nStartup experience where ownership was unavoidable\nHow we work\nNo strict role boundaries\nMinimal process, maximal responsibility\nDirect access to founders, product, and customers\nSpeed > polish, clarity > consensus\nWhy Above\nYou'll build the platform for an engineering org where AI agents do a large share of the writing - very few people get to solve this yet\nReal scale, real data, real security stakes\nHigh-trust, high-bar engineering culture\nTier-1 funding, real customers, real urgency\nOffice-first team optimized for velocity","description_format":"text","description_chars":3786,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"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":["Artificial Intelligence","Cybersecurity","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T11:54:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-05T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/above-senior-software-engineer-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/above-senior-software-engineer-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T01:51:23Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2690,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2310,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3793293},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3793293"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fabove-senior-software-engineer-platform"},{"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%2Fabove-senior-software-engineer-platform"},{"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%2Fabove-senior-software-engineer-platform"},{"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/above-senior-software-engineer-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fabove-senior-software-engineer-platform"}]}
