You’ll work with people who back each other, respect each other and understand that our differences are a competitive advantage.\nIf this sounds like you, we’d love you to be part of Gen.\nAbout the Role:\nEngine by Gen partners with leading Financial Institutions to surface the richest, most\ncomprehensive set of personalized financial product offers to the consumer. We are\nlooking for an experienced Lead Engineer to support our world-class financial products\nmarketplace.\nWe’re looking for a deeply experienced front-end engineer with full-stack fluency who\nbrings strong judgment and a thoughtful critical perspective. This role is not about\nproducing baseline code quickly. Modern AI tools can do that. It’s about collaboration,\nsetting direction, making sound decisions, and driving technical quality. You will leverage AI\nagents as force multipliers while maintaining a high bar for correctness, maintainability,\ntestability, and operational excellence.\nSuccess here depends on engineering judgment-choosing the right solution, not just\nproducing code.\nKey Responsibilities:\nTake Ownership: You’ll be accountable for upholding a high bar for quality through design reviews, code reviews, test strategy, and production readiness.\n\nCollaborate cross-functionally: Partner with product, design, and fellow engineers to shape solutions, clarify tradeoffs, and deliver reliably.\n\nArchitect for change: Design and build full-stack, frontend-leaning systems that are intentionally small, composable, and resilient to evolving product requirements.\n\nImprove Performance & Quality: Enforce architectural and operational quality, catching subtle issues that are easy to miss in fast-moving, AI-assisted development.\n\nChampion Functional Patterns: Champion functional programming principles and immutability to reduce side effects and make systems simpler to reason through and debug.\n\nLead AI-assisted Development: You’ll use AI assistants/agents for prototyping, scaffolding, refactoring, and exploratory development, then harden the result and rigorously validate through tests, reasoning, and edge-case review.\n\nRaise quality through testing: Build and maintain a strong automated test suite of unit, integration/contract, component/UI, and end-to-end coverage, with fast feedback loops in CI.\n\nAbout You:\nBachelor’s degree in computer science or engineering, or a related field.\n\n10+ years of experience building production web applications and 2+ years as a Principal Engineer.\n\nExpert-level proficiency with TypeScript, strong experience with React, server-side rendered Next.js (or similar), and performant component-driven development (e.g. Reshaped UI).\n\nDeep understanding and experience with of the orchestration and composition of calls across multiple services\n\nAbility to articulate complex technical trade-offs to stakeholders and translate product vision into high-fidelity technical direction.\n\nDemonstrated development of simple, reusable, changeable systems (with examples of refactors, platforming work, or scalable patterns).\n\nPreference for functional programming and a deep understanding of why immutability is critical in modern software development.\n\nAdvanced knowledge of the testing pyramid and how to use automated tests as a safety net for rapid, iterative development.\n\nProven technical leadership through mentorship, delegation, and high-quality code reviews.\n\nAI-Assisted Engineering Expectations:\nHands-on experience with tools like Cursor (or equivalent AI-augmented IDEs) and all modern coding models.\n\nPractical understanding of where AI is strong vs. where it falls short, paired with sound discernment in its application.\n\nAbility to use AI agents to quickly project multiple approaches, compare tradeoffs, and converge on the best solution without shipping “AI-shaped” code.\n\nPersonal Attributes:\nProactive problem-solver who identifies issues and opportunities before they become blockers, taking ownership without waiting to be asked.\n\nRelentlessly curious - constantly asking \"why\" and \"what if,\" driven to understand systems deeply rather than accepting surface-level answers.\n\nGenuinely passionate about the craft of software engineering, not just the output - the kind of person who gets excited about an elegant solution.\n\nThrives in collaborative environments, elevating teammates through knowledge sharing, constructive code reviews, and open dialogue.\n\nGrowth-oriented mindset with a demonstrated hunger to learn new technologies, paradigms, and approaches - and to apply them meaningfully.\n\nHolds a high quality bar for implementation - writes clean, well-tested, maintainable code and expects the same from the codebase around them.\n\nRefuses to normalize technical debt - doesn't walk past bad code; actively advocates for and drives improvements to code health and engineering standards.\n\nSelf-starter who can operate with ambiguity, break down complex problems independently, and drive initiatives from idea to delivery.\n\nContinuously invests in their own development through reading, experimentation, side projects, open-source contributions, or community involvement.\n\nBalances pragmatism with rigor - knows when to ship and when to push back, always grounded in what's best for the product and the team.\n\nWhat’s Next:\nCode Review Assessment\n\nRecruiter Interview\n\nHiring Manager Interview\n\nFinal Round (in person or virtual)\n\nGen is an equal opportunity employer, and we’re committed to fair, inclusive practices at every stage of the candidate and employee journey. Employment decisions are based on merit, experience and business needs.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6770,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Identity Management","Endpoint Security","Consumer & Utility Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-04-30T18:45:34Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 79 · green card filings: 10","filings_12m":79,"filings_prev_12m":54,"green_card_filings_12m":10,"median_offered_wage_usd":158624,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":44}],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.411,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":179,"expected_fill_days":63,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":239200,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gendigital-lead-frontend-engineer-engine","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gendigital-lead-frontend-engineer-engine.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T19:07:56Z","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":9622,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3431},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3431"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgendigital-lead-frontend-engineer-engine"},{"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%2Fgendigital-lead-frontend-engineer-engine"},{"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%2Fgendigital-lead-frontend-engineer-engine"},{"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/gendigital-lead-frontend-engineer-engine\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgendigital-lead-frontend-engineer-engine"}]}
