As a Junior Software Engineer at BodySpec, you’re part of our engineering team from day one. You’ll troubleshoot real technical problems, maintain and extend the tools our team and customers rely on, and learn to make design decisions that hold up as we scale. You’ll start close to our users, handling support and fixes, with a clear path to owning bigger pieces of our systems as you grow.\nFirst-year Junior Software Engineers in Austin can expect to earn up to $70,170 in total cash compensation, plus equity.\nYou'll Love This Job If You Have:\nTechnical Curiosity: You want to understand how systems actually work, not just restart them when they break. You dig into logs, trace errors, and don’t stop until you find the root cause.\nSystems Thinking: You know writing code is the easy part now, because AI tools draft a lot of it. What matters is deciding what to build and how it fits. You think about where a change lives, what it might break, who maintains it, and whether it makes sense for the business, not just whether it runs.\nOwnership: You close the loop. When you fix something, you write it up, and if it’s happened twice, you automate it so it doesn’t happen a third time. You don’t wait to be told to do the obvious next step.\nCommunication Clarity: You can explain technical problems to non-technical people without talking down to them, and you write up issues and decisions so your teammates don’t waste time. Your Slack messages are clear, concise, and actionable.\nKnowing When to Ask: You know when to keep digging and when to ask a teammate. You don’t ping someone the moment you’re stuck, but you also don’t burn a day on something a five-minute conversation would solve. And you never sit on a critical issue trying to be a hero.\nPatience Without Passivity: You stay calm with frustrated users and stakeholders, but you’re not a pushover. No ticket is beneath you, and you push for real fixes, not just band-aids.\nWhat Will You Do?Troubleshoot technical issues across our website, admin systems, and internal tools, mostly via Slack with internal teams and external stakeholders\nMaintain and extend our internal and external tools, from small fixes to new features\nWrite scripts and queries to diagnose problems, pull data, and automate repetitive fixes\nLearn our system architecture and contribute to design decisions: how a change fits the system, what it costs to maintain, and whether it’s the right fix for the business\nProvide weekend tech and dev support on a rotating schedule managed by the team\nDocument solutions and build internal knowledge bases so problems get solved faster over time\nGrow from fixing and extending code to designing systems, with the goal of owning larger pieces of our stack\n RequirementsBased in Austin, TX and able to work in person at our offices\n0-2 years of experience in software development, technical support, or an engineering-adjacent role (flexible if you can demonstrate the skills)\nStrong programming fundamentals: comfortable in at least one language and able to learn others\nExperience with databases and writing queries (SQL or similar)\nReal interest in software design and architecture: you want to understand why systems are built the way they are\nExcellent written communication, since you’ll live in Slack and email\nAbility to thrive with direct, unfiltered feedback - we’ll tell you exactly what you need to improve\nAvailability for rotating weekend support coverage\n CompensationBase Salary: $62,000\nPerformance Bonus: Up to 7% of base salary annually ($4,340) - half paid in cash ($2,170), half in stock options\nTeam Revenue Bonus: $500/month when we hit monthly goals ($6,000 annually - we’ve hit our goals 7 out of 9 months so far in 2026)\nTotal Cash Compensation: Up to $70,170\nEquity: Stock options through performance bonus and additional grants based on performance\nAll team members regardless of position are eligible for additional stock option grants and profit sharing based on performance. We expect both cash and equity compensation to grow as the company scales.Benefits\nHealth, dental, and vision insurance\n401(k)\nPaid time off\nSick leave\nCompany-wide peer bonus program for recognizing excellent teamwork\nEmployee assistance program\nRegular team events (both virtual and in-person)\nDirect mentorship from experienced operators who’ve scaled companies before\nBodySpec is transforming how people understand and improve their health through accessible DEXA scanning. As a Junior Software Engineer, you’ll keep our systems running smoothly today while learning to design the systems we need next. If you want to solve real problems, build things that last, and grow into an engineer who makes sound design decisions, we want to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4847,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Stock options","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Radiology & Imaging Centers","Consumer Health Apps"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T17:43:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":70170,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bodyspec-junior-developer-bodyspec","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bodyspec-junior-developer-bodyspec.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T22:50:06Z","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":1458,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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":7000},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7000"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbodyspec-junior-developer-bodyspec"},{"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%2Fbodyspec-junior-developer-bodyspec"},{"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%2Fbodyspec-junior-developer-bodyspec"},{"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/bodyspec-junior-developer-bodyspec\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbodyspec-junior-developer-bodyspec"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3536315}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bodyspec.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3536315},"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.
