You'll own the consumer-facing acquisition and claim-filing experience and the systems that move money to claimants. This is greenfield: you'll set the technical direction for the highest-traffic, highest-stakes surface we run, and build the team around it.\nWe're building a verticalized factory for claims: a system that turns corporate wrongdoing into recovery for everyday people, case type after case type. The core funnel is the front door to that factory: it has to be fast, experiment-driven, and trustworthy with people's money.\nThis role is perfect for someone who's analytical, creative, and execution-driven. You thrive in fast-paced environments, love rapid experimentation, and know how to take an idea from prototype to a production system the rest of the team can build on.\nBonus: if you've worked in a regulated industry such as legal, healthcare, or finance.\nAbout Chariot Claims\nChariot Claims is an AI claims agent that helps consumers get paid for every corporate violation impacting them: data breaches, privacy violations, antitrust, and more. We've processed 65,000+ claims, with projected consumer recovery of $75M+.\nChariot builds technology to challenge the status quo. We take bold swings at the system to ascertain truth from stories, even if that means drawing legal/PR fire from established actors who are territorial and profit from the status quo.\nAs operators, we pride ourselves on our ethics, resilience, and humanity. With each turn, we emerge smarter, better prepared, and with more insiders who share our mission to build a better system. We're already working with 20+ law firms, including several among the five most active complex litigation firms in the country.\nWhat You'll Own\nOwn a fast, high-conversion consumer funnel, built mobile web-first.\n\nRun rapid experimentation across the funnel, tailoring the experience per case type.\n\nOwn claimant communications, evidence and signature collection, and dispute-resolution scheduling.\n\nOwn consumer payments and disbursements, where correctness, auditability, and trust are non-negotiable.\n\nContribute to shared platform foundations that make the whole team faster, including internal tooling, MCPs, and agent harnesses.\n\nRecruit, vet, and grow the engineers on this team.\n\nHow You'll Work (AI-Native)\nAI-native, not AI-assisted. You build with coding harnesses and agents in the loop every day, and you push the frontier of what they can do for the team.\n\nYou treat internal tooling as product. You build the MCPs, harnesses, evals, and human interfaces that make the whole team faster, for internal ops and external users alike.\n\nYou make product calls autonomously. You've shipped products end-to-end and can decide what to build and why without waiting to be told, then defend it with evidence.\n\nAutonomous and collaborative. You run your vertical like an owner and still pull in the same direction as the rest of the company.\n\nWho You Are\nExperience building and shipping production software, at staff-level technical scope.\n\nA track record of shipping products end-to-end: you've owned the outcome, not just the code.\n\nStrong product instincts and a bias toward action; comfortable making informed product decisions on your own.\n\nEarly-stage experience (Series A or earlier).\n\nYou've built and grown a team, or are clearly ready to; you'll be hiring and leading from day one.\n\nBonus: experience with high-conversion consumer funnels and rapid experimentation; experience building or operating payments, ledgers, or other money-movement systems.\n\nStack: Go, TypeScript / React, AWS.\n\nWhy Join Now\nMassive greenfield to own the front door of the factory: the funnel and payments that get everyday people paid. Help scale holding corporations accountable (in an era of unchecked corporate greed and weakening regulatory oversight).\n\nCompetitive salary, equity, and benefits package in a fast-growing, high-impact startup.\n\nCollaborative, smart, humble, mission-driven, high-vibes team that loves music.\n\n2-4 off-sites per year in beautiful, cultural destinations; expenses covered for you and a +1.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4365,"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"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Professional Services","Legal Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T17:49:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":16,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.561,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":85,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":270000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/chariot-claims-engineering-lead-core-funnel-payments","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/chariot-claims-engineering-lead-core-funnel-payments.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T09:21:23Z","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_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11954,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4416738},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416738"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fchariot-claims-engineering-lead-core-funnel-payments"},{"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%2Fchariot-claims-engineering-lead-core-funnel-payments"},{"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%2Fchariot-claims-engineering-lead-core-funnel-payments"},{"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/chariot-claims-engineering-lead-core-funnel-payments\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fchariot-claims-engineering-lead-core-funnel-payments"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2637720}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"chariotclaims.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2637720},"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.
