We are fully indexed on the success of every single user, which means the software you ship runs inside live defense operations, not a benchmark.\nYou'd be joining the engineering team working directly with the leadership. You take a problem, explore it, come back with proposals, and iterate; nobody hands you a fully specified ticket. Most of the team genuinely values that exposure. It isn't a dealbreaker if you're very strong but less drawn to it, but expect real user contact to be part of the job.\nWhat this looks like in practice:\nOwn end-to-end features on Prevail, our operational planning platform, from scoping through shipping\n\nWork on real geospatial problems: everything in the product lives on a map, so you'll move data between backend and frontend through tile servers and lean on PostGIS for geo queries that need to be genuinely smart\n\nBuild and harden ML/LLM workflow orchestration: most product workflows carry an LLM or ML step, so you'll design for retries, queueing, and long-running jobs with LangGraph and LangChain\n\nDesign for on-prem and appliance deployment: our default target isn't cloud-native, it's hardware plus software shipped as an appliance, so you're thinking about resource constraints instead of adding another Lambda\n\nSpend time with users in the field when a deployment calls for it\n\nWho We're Looking For\nWe filter hardest on mission drive, low ego, and resilience under pressure. We want people who reason from first principles rather than lean on memorized patterns, and who ship rather than over-plan.\nMust-have:\nFull-stack experience preferred; if not full-stack, a genuinely strong backend lean is required\n\nComfortable owning a feature end to end: scoping it, building it, and deciding what not to build, without a PM pre-slicing the work\n\nSolid Python (we use FastAPI) and TypeScript\n\nEU citizenship (contractual requirement tied to our defense contracts)\n\nReal comfort with ambiguity: the roadmap here shifts with the deployment pipeline\n\nNice to have:\nExperience with PostGIS or other geospatial data work\n\nExperience with LangGraph, LangChain, or orchestrating multi-step LLM workflows\n\nExperience deploying software on-prem or as an appliance rather than pure cloud-native\n\nPrior work in defense, government, or dual-use tech\n\nWhat's In It For You\nCompetitive package (top 0.1% of compensation in Europe: base + equity)\n\nParis or London based\n\nClient-site travel is part of the role when a deployment calls for it\n\nThe Process\nTalent screening: 30 min, online. Background and motivation.\n\nTechnical test: 60min, online. Skills assessment.\n\nOnsite in Paris: half day. Product demo, a project presentation, a system design exercise, and a re-engineering exercise on an existing codebase.\n\nRoundtable.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2863,"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":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military","C4ISR"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-30T16:00:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":19,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.518,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":99,"expected_fill_days":57,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/comand-ai-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/comand-ai-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T13:48:53Z","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":18580,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":63532},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63532"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcomand-ai-software-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%2Fcomand-ai-software-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%2Fcomand-ai-software-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/comand-ai-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcomand-ai-software-engineer"}]}
