By removing barriers and simplifying global hiring, we’re creating a level playing field where businesses and individuals can compete, grow, and succeed, regardless of geography.\nMultiplier empowers companies to hire, onboard, manage, and pay talent in 150+ countries, quickly and compliantly. Our mission is to build a world without limits, where ambitious businesses can look beyond borders to build their global dream teams.\nOur unified employment platform-complete with world-class EOR, AOR, and Global Payroll product -means it has never been easier to seize the global hiring opportunity. We’re backed by some of the best in the business (Sequoia, DST, and Tiger Global), led by industry leading experts, scaling fast, and seeking brilliant like-minded enthusiasts to join our team. The future is borderless. Let’s build it together.\nWhat will I be doing?\nAs a Lead Software Engineer in Platform Engineering, you will build internal platforms and AI-enabled tooling that make shipping high-quality software the default.\nYou will:\nOwn and drive key parts of the Platform roadmap-from problem discovery to rollout and adoption.\n\nBuild developer productivity tools/frameworks that scale quality across teams (not gatekeeping).\n\nDesign and implement CI quality gates (unit/integration/API/contract/E2E), test reliability improvements, and quality signals that prevent production issues.\n\nBuild platforms for automation utilities, reporting, and observability to improve confidence and reduce engineering toil.\n\nEmbed AI-assisted workflows into processes (e.g., test generation, test data generation, failure analysis, flake detection, regression recommendations, smarter triage).\n\nPartner closely with Product Engineering, SRE/Platform, and Security teams to improve release confidence, reduce regressions, and shorten feedback loops.\n\nSet standards and build reusable libraries/SDKs so teams can easily “do the right thing” with minimal friction.\n\nMentor engineers and lead by example through high-quality code, architecture, and pragmatic decision-making.\n\nAutomate everything that an engineer should not be working on.\n\nWhat do I need?\n8+ years of industry experience as a software engineer, preferably in SaaS / product engineering.\n\nProven ability to take ownership, drive ambiguous initiatives, and deliver platforms adopted by multiple teams.\n\nStrong software engineering fundamentals: system design, APIs, code quality, scalability, and reliability.\n\nDeep proficiency in at least one high-level language (e.g., Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Python).\n\nStrong understanding of modern engineering practices: CI/CD, developer workflows, branching/release strategies, PR checks, build pipelines.\n\nExperience with cloud infrastructure (AWS / GCP) and distributed systems concepts.\n\nStrong problem-solving skills, comfort working with complex systems, and a bias toward automation.\n\nHands-on experience with AI (must-have):\nUsing LLMs/AI agents in engineering workflows, OR\n\nBuilding AI-powered tooling (prompting, evaluation, guardrails, automation integration), OR\n\nPractical experience integrating AI into developer productivity platforms.\n\nHighly data-driven mindset-comfortable defining success metrics, measuring adoption, and iterating.\n\nGood to have\nExperience building/maintaining test automation frameworks (API/contract/E2E), test infra, or quality tooling used org-wide.\n\nExposure to microservices architecture, GraphQL/REST, event-driven systems, and contract testing.\n\nExperience improving test reliability (flake reduction), failure triage automation, test impact analysis, or regression risk scoring.\n\nFamiliarity with observability tools (logs/metrics/traces) and building actionable quality dashboards.\nExperience building internal platforms/SDKs and driving adoption through documentation, enablement, and DX improvements.\n\nWhat We Offer:\nHigh-impact role with the chance to play a key role in a rapidly growing company.\n\nFull autonomy in your role, with the flexibility to work in a hybrid environment.\n\nWork with a passionate, energetic, and diverse team.\n\nCompetitive benefits, recognition programs, and career development opportunities.\n\nAttractive ESOPs, giving you a stake in the company’s success.\n\nComprehensive health insurance coverage for you and your family’s well-being.\n\nGenerous holiday policy.\n\nA company that genuinely invests in your professional success.\n\nEqual Employment Opportunity\nMultiplier is an equal opportunity employer: we value diversity. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.\nPlease note that this job description is a general overview and responsibilities may evolve as the company grows and adapts to changing market conditions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5000,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Insurance coverage"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T07:23:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/multiplier-lead-software-engineer-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/multiplier-lead-software-engineer-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T11:41:27Z","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":16699,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":175391},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=175391"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmultiplier-lead-software-engineer-platform"},{"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%2Fmultiplier-lead-software-engineer-platform"},{"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%2Fmultiplier-lead-software-engineer-platform"},{"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/multiplier-lead-software-engineer-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmultiplier-lead-software-engineer-platform"}]}
