You'll write code every day, and you'll shape what others build on top of.\n\"Product engineer\" for us means someone who thinks in products and systems, not in frontend or backend silos. You care about the user and the business as much as the architecture, and you move fluently from a data model to a UI to a conversation with a stakeholder. At staff level, you do this while lifting the people around you.\nYou'll carry technical leadership on your areas: direction, standards, breaking down work, unblocking people, and reviewing the work that matters.\nRequirements\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the architecture and domain model for core parts of the platform - how transactions, portfolios, and money movement are represented and processed\nMake foundational technical decisions others build on, and be accountable for them\nWrite production code across the stack; lead by building, not by delegating\nSet engineering standards - testing, review, observability, how we ship - and hold the bar\nBreak down ambiguous problems into work the team can execute, and unblock people when they get stuck\nMentor engineers and raise the level of everyone around you\nPartner directly with product and leadership on what to build and why\nWhat We're Looking For\n8+ years building production software, with a track record of staff-level impact:\nyou've owned a domain from ambiguity to production and others followed your technical lead\nProduct-and-systems thinking: you're genuinely full-stack in mindset and reach for whatever the problem needs; you've shipped user-facing product and designed the systems beneath it\nTechnical leadership without needing a title: you've set direction and standards and mentored, and people followed because of the quality of your judgment\nEntrepreneurial: you're energized by a blank page, ambiguity, and owning outcomes, not just tickets\nStrong across a modern web stack: React on the frontend, and TypeScript/Node.js or JVM (Java/Kotlin) on the backend; we care about range and judgment more than any single language\nSolid PostgreSQL and data-modeling instincts\nStartup DNA: high autonomy, comfortable wearing many hats, biased to action\nExcellent communication: you can explain a hard technical trade-off to an engineer and to a stakeholder\nThe ideal candidate has\nDepth in financial-systems correctness: ledgers, settlement, reconciliation, idempotency. If you can own the money-movement core as well as the product, you're exactly who we're looking for.\nPrivate-markets, investment-platform, or securities domain experience\nExperience as an early engineer at a startup that scaled\nLocation & Work Style\nBased in Bahrain office, but we'd consider fully remote employees outside Bahrain within 3 hours time difference. This role requires close collaboration with product and finance teams.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3088,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Bahrain","iso":"BH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","IT Staffing & Staff Augmentation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T21:38:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":53,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.734,"p_room":0.72,"age_days":84,"expected_fill_days":138,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/amsaccelerateit-staff-backend-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/amsaccelerateit-staff-backend-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T01:34:29Z","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":2118,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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":668930},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=668930"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Famsaccelerateit-staff-backend-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%2Famsaccelerateit-staff-backend-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%2Famsaccelerateit-staff-backend-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/amsaccelerateit-staff-backend-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Famsaccelerateit-staff-backend-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":661846}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"amsaccelerateit.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":661846},"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.
