We design AI agents that operate across the full sales action set, from account strategy to prospect research and outreach. Building 0→1 has never been easier, but selling at the speed of the market remains the last frontier for AI. Our mission is to 10x every seller by automating the busywork so they can focus on what humans do best: closing deals.\nToday, over 1,500 customers run on Nooks, including Notion, HubSpot, Cursor, and Rippling. We’ve raised $70M+ from top VCs like Kleiner Perkins, which made its first sales-tech investment in over a decade with us. Since then, we’ve tripled ARR each year for 3 years running and grown a high-caliber team turning the art of sales into a scalable science.\nAbout the Role\nThe Core Infrastructure team makes the rest of Nooks fast. We're going from one product to many - Sequencing, Dialer, Agent Studio, Coaching - and our data layer, observability, and developer tooling have to scale with that. The dialer alone runs ~100M calls a week, and reps spend 4+ hours a day in the product. We're hiring senior engineers to own the systems everything else is built on.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild infrastructure that makes every product team faster. Data models, APIs, observability, CI/CD - pick the area, own it across the company.\n\nKeep the rails on while we go multi-product. Capacity, reliability, cost. Set the standards other teams build against.\n\nMake foundational technical decisions. What's the right shape for our data access layer when we're querying across calls, prospects, and accounts? How do we attribute infra cost to product teams cleanly?\n\nMentor others on the team. Run code and design reviews, and pair on the hardest problems.\n\nYou might be a strong fit if:\n5+ years of engineering experience, with depth in distributed systems, databases, or developer infrastructure. We don't care which exact stack.\n\nProduction experience scaling systems through real growth (10x, 100x), and the scars that come with it.\n\nStrong opinions, held loosely, about what good developer experience looks like inside a fast-moving product team.\n\nComfortable being the engineer everyone else calls during an incident.\n\nYou make the rest of the team faster.\n\nBased in San Francisco, excited to be in-office 3+ days per week.\n\nAt Nooks You'll Enjoy\nA world-class team. Around 40 engineers, mostly former founders or founding engineers and veteran builders from places like Applied Intuition, Scale, Airtable, Citadel, and Jane Street. Thirteen Olympiad medals across the team.\n\nA platform being built for the first time. Nooks was one product a year ago. The infra you build now decides what the next four products feel like.\n\nTop-of-market compensation.\n\nEqual Employment Opportunity Statement\nNooks is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce. We believe in providing equal employment opportunities to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.\nNooks does not discriminate in hiring, promotion, compensation, or any other employment practices, and we are committed to ensuring a workplace that is free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. We encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply and join our team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3437,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sales Enablement","Conversational AI","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-05-15T20:32:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.636,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":153,"expected_fill_days":65,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nooks-senior-software-engineer-core-infrastructure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nooks-senior-software-engineer-core-infrastructure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T00:39:46Z","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":891,"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":5957},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5957"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnooks-senior-software-engineer-core-infrastructure"},{"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%2Fnooks-senior-software-engineer-core-infrastructure"},{"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%2Fnooks-senior-software-engineer-core-infrastructure"},{"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/nooks-senior-software-engineer-core-infrastructure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnooks-senior-software-engineer-core-infrastructure"}]}
