Fields, facilities, trucks, forecasts… our software lives in the physical world, where it either works or it doesn't.\n What we're building\nUnderneath that is something more ambitious: Digital Objects, a new foundation for how software gets made. Less plumbing. More faithful representation of how businesses actually work. We're building the platform and the product at the same time.\nWho we're looking for\nSomeone who gets restless when they don't understand why something works the way it does, regardless of how many years they've been at it. We care more about how you think and what you ship than about your title history. A strong early-career engineer and a seasoned one can both thrive here; what they'd have in common is ownership, curiosity, and craft.\nYou might be a fit if:\nYou've built something end-to-end and can walk us through the tradeoffs you made and what you'd do differently.\nWhen something breaks or behaves unexpectedly, your first instinct is to dig in.\nYou can take feedback without getting defensive, and you make the people around you better just by being engaged.\nYou care about the craft (naming, structure, readability).\nYou have enough Flutter/Dart experience to show us you can build.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild and ship Flutter features that real users depend on.\nWork through messy real-world workflows and turn them into clean, reliable product experiences.\nGive and take feedback through code reviews, pairing, and direct conversation; however much mentoring you need or offer depends on where you are.\nAsk good questions. Explain your reasoning. Show your work.\nWhat this isn't\nThis isn't a role where we hand you a ticket and you implement it without thinking. We'll expect you to understand what you're building and why. We'll expect you to come back with questions. If something seems off, we want you to say so.\nWhat you'll get\nReal responsibility, work that touches a vital industry, and a team that cares about doing excellent work and is building something genuinely audacious.\nOn-site, San Luis Obispo, CA. Compensation commensurate with experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2214,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T19:25:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.35,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":87,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/freshahead-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/freshahead-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T22:03:22Z","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":7020,"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":4421399},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4421399"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffreshahead-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%2Ffreshahead-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%2Ffreshahead-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/freshahead-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffreshahead-software-engineer"}]}
