We’ve built the platform that lets customers skip the line, pay cover, order drinks, and buy tickets at their favorite bars, clubs, and venues. We’re now expanding that foundation into a broader points ecosystem, giving users new ways to earn rewards and use them toward the experiences they love. The early response has been incredibly strong and we’re just getting started. Our vision is to become the must-have platform for all purchases, discovery, rewards, and fun at the world’s top venues and events.\nWe are building a world-class software engineering team that is pushing the boundaries of what modern consumer software development looks like. We are looking to add a highly experienced software engineer that will be instrumental in building breakthrough products for LineLeap’s 2 million (and growing) users. This is a senior individual contributor role focused on building and shipping high-impact features that will meaningfully move the business forward.\nA core expectation of this role is heavily leveraging cutting-edge coding and automation agents to build production-grade features quickly, explore and prototype new ideas, and automate the delivery and maintenance of complex code. The role is not about owning an AI platform or building standalone AI features, but about applying AI pragmatically to accelerate product development and create better outcomes.\nThis is a high ownership, hands-on role for someone who wants to build with ambition and see their work directly impact the business. There will be no people management in this role.\nWhat You Will Work On\n**Build and ship high-impact product features\n**You will design, implement, and iterate on new product features to be used by millions of people. You will take ideas from concept to reality, owning the production and refinement from end to end.\n**Use AI to accelerate development and problem solving\n**You will use AI tools extensively in your workflow to prototype faster, reason through complex problems, explore and test design options, and increase development velocity. You will be a key part of setting a high bar for what exceptional AI-assisted engineering looks like in practice.\n**Own work end to end\n**You will be responsible for technical design, implementation, testing, quality, and maintenance of the features and products you ship. You will think about maintainability, extensibility, and scalability of features, not just short-term delivery.\n**Work closely with product and engineering partners\n**You will collaborate with other engineers and product partners to turn ambiguous and ambitious ideas into beautiful and robust software. You will own clarifying scope, surfacing tradeoffs, and making sound technical decisions.\n**Move quickly without lowering the bar\n**You will balance speed and quality, shipping fast while maintaining a strong standard for reliability, performance, and code health. You will do this with the most innovative AI-enabled tools and techniques for creating high-quality products.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nYou are viewed as a high-leverage engineer who consistently delivers\nYou are responsible for shipping mission-critical new product capabilities that create meaningful outcomes\nYou take ambiguous and ambitious ideas are turn them into delightful and intuitive user experiences that work reliably\nDevelopment cycles get faster and more efficient as you use, master, and refine AI tools, sharing learnings and toolchain improvements for the team to benefit from together\nAbout You\nCare deeply about bringing a high standard of craft and pushing others to do the same\nStrong attention to detail and a degree of thoroughness that stands out amongst your peers\nDriven and motivated by a workplace that demands meaningful output\nPragmatic about engineering decisions, with a strong intuition for simplicity \nCurious and resourceful, facing ambiguity with a bias towards action\nCritical and constructive approach to collaboration, holding a high bar for the work the team ships together\nObsessed with automation and efficiency, aggressively eliminating repetitive work\nSelf-starter attitude towards professional growth, helping peers, and fixing problems\nSkills & Experience\nStrong experience building and shipping consumer-facing software at scale\nComfort working across and maintaining a modern full-stack environment\nDemonstrated ability to work independently and own large pieces of work\nExperience using AI agents to develop large volumes of high-quality code\nSound and pragmatic technical judgment around architecture and tradeoffs\nClear communication with both technical and non-technical teammates\nDeep foundational software engineering knowledge, such as: design patterns, test-driven development (TDD), asynchronous code execution, cloud-based deployment, and robust failure handling\nOur Stack\nExperience using our stack is not necessary for this role, but you are expected to have worked on consumer products with a modern frontend and backend. That said, we use Flutter for our mobile app, TypeScript for our web apps (Next.js) and backend, and GCP for hosting. We use a combination of Firebase and PostgreSQL for persistence and manage our infrastructure with Terraform.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5256,"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":["Events & Ticketing","Venues"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T09:26:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.524,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":400000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lineleap-staff-software-engineer-product-innovation-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lineleap-staff-software-engineer-product-innovation-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T18:01:28Z","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":37852,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":11767},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=11767"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flineleap-staff-software-engineer-product-innovation-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Flineleap-staff-software-engineer-product-innovation-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Flineleap-staff-software-engineer-product-innovation-2"},{"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/lineleap-staff-software-engineer-product-innovation-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flineleap-staff-software-engineer-product-innovation-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2332927}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"lineleap.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2332927},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
