Compliance is critical for FIs to get right, but most of their work still happens manually, in legacy technology or Excel.\nBanks, credit unions, and fintechs across the country use Kobalt to run third party due diligence, screen marketing collateral, and stay current with the ever-changing regulatory landscape. Since our Series A, we've grown revenue more than 5x and work with some of the most notable names in financial services, including Chime, Upstart, and Affirm.\nThe Role\nEngineers at Kobalt own products end-to-end, from understanding the customer problem and shaping the technical approach through building, shipping, and operating the solution in production.\nAs a Full Stack Software Engineer, you'll build the core product experiences our customers use every day. Risk and compliance teams manage complex, highly structured workflows involving large amounts of data, documents, approvals, and collaboration. You'll figure out how to make those workflows fast and intuitive, then build the frontend and backend systems that make them work.\nThis role is a good fit for an engineer who cares deeply about the product they're building: how information is structured, how users move through a workflow, where complexity belongs, and how the underlying technical design enables a great experience.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild and ship new product features end-to-end across Kobalt's frontend and backend.\n\nOwn major features from technical design through launch, working closely with other engineers and Customer Success.\n\nBuild intuitive user experiences for complex risk and compliance workflows.\n\nDevelop AI-powered features that help customers automate work that has historically been manual.\n\nImprove the performance, reliability, and architecture of our application as we scale.\n\nWork directly with customers to understand how they use Kobalt and turn their feedback into better products.\n\nQualifications\n3+ years of software engineering experience building production web applications.\n\nStrong experience building modern, interactive frontend applications and the backend systems that support them.\n\nExcellent product and UX judgment, particularly for complex or data-dense applications.\n\nStrong understanding of frontend architecture, application state, APIs, data modeling, and relational databases.\n\nAbility to take a product problem from initial concept through technical design, implementation, and production.\n\nHigh attention to detail and a strong bar for the quality, performance, and usability of what you ship.\n\nCompensation and Benefits\n$250k base salary + equity, with equity based on experience and scope\n\nLunch provided in-office\n\n100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees and dependents\n\nPaid time off and paid company holidays","description_format":"text","description_chars":2881,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"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":["RegTech, AML & Compliance","Financial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-27T03:36:18Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-29T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kobalt-labs-software-engineer-full-stack","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kobalt-labs-software-engineer-full-stack.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T00:36:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":461,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4539,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
