Collecting payments, securing e-signatures, and delivering invoices are the lifelines of business operation, but managing them separately can be tedious and time-consuming. Our comprehensive platform combines secure payments and document workflows into one frictionless experience, leveraging decades of compliance expertise to streamline operations for our customers.\nRole Overview\nWe are looking for a Software Engineer (R&D Focused) to play a key role in building PDCflow’s next-generation payment and transaction platform. First and foremost, you will be a hands-on backend software engineer helping design, write, and deliver core features for our newest product. Beyond day-to-day product development, you will bring an exploratory R&D mindset to the team: researching emerging technologies, building rapid proofs-of-concept (POCs), and identifying better ways to modernize our stack.\nYour main day-to-day work will be backend-heavy (Java, Spring, PostgreSQL, Docker), building secure, high-throughput engines for our new product line. Side-by-side with feature delivery, you will explore new tools (such as Claude Code and AI-assisted dev workflows) and test lightweight frameworks (like Svelte) to continually optimize how our engineering organization builds, containerizes, and deploys secure financial technology.\nWhat You’ll Do\nNew Product Development:Design, build, and deploy production-ready RESTful APIs and backend microservices for PDCflow’s newest platform features using Java and Spring Boot.\nDatabase & Data Architecture:Write efficient SQL, design relational schemas, and optimize database performance in PostgreSQL to handle high-volume transaction processing.\nContainerization & Operations:Package, run, and optimize containerized services using Docker across local and deployment environments.\nTargeted R&D & Prototyping:Research, benchmark, and build targeted POCs for emerging tools and architectural patterns before bringing viable solutions into our core codebase.\nAI Tool Integration:Experiment with and incorporate AI-assisted developer workflows (Claude Code, LLM coding agents) to accelerate refactoring, testing, documentation, and feature delivery.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nCore Technical Skills\n5+ yearsof hands-on software development experience with a strong foundation in backend engineering.\nJava & Spring Framework:Solid proficiency in Core Java and Spring Boot for building robust backend services and REST APIs.\nDatabase Fundamentals:Strong SQL skills with PostgreSQL-ability to analyze, design, and optimize data models during POC development.\nContainerization:Experience using Dockerfor local development setups, containerizing applications, and environment configuration.\nExploratory Mindset:A track record of testing new libraries, tools, and developer utilities on your own initiative.\nNice-to-Haves / Bonus Skills\nActive experience or curiosity in AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or CLI LLM integrations).\nFamiliarity with lightweight web frameworks like Sveltefor rapid front-end prototyping.\nExposure to fintech, payment processing, or compliance environments (PCI-DSS, HIPAA).\nFamiliarity with microservices architecture, messaging queues, or cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP).\nWhy You’ll Love Working Here\nFlexible Hybrid Model:Enjoy the best of both worlds with a balanced hybrid schedule at our Ogden, UT office-alternating between 2 days in-office one week and 1 day in-office the next (just 6 days in-office per month).\nHigh Autonomy & Freedom:You get dedicated time and space to investigate new tech without being locked into rigid, repetitive ticket-slog sprints.\nDirect Team Impact:Your research and POCs will directly influence the tech stack, tooling, and day-to-day productivity of the entire PDCflow engineering team.\nModern Developer Culture:We actively embrace cutting-edge AI utilities like Claude Code to automate boilerplate work and focus on solving real engineering problems.\nCompetitive Benefits:Comprehensive Health, Vision, Dental, 401(k) match, generous PTO, and team perks.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4187,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"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":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T17:33:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.697,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":37,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dakcs-rd-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dakcs-rd-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T09:04:45Z","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
