You’ll embed across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Programs, and Operations to understand how work gets done and then use software, AI agents, integrations, and automation to make it dramatically better.\nThis is a unique engineering role for someone who doesn’t just want to receive tickets. You’ll sit within Operations / Business Operations but work across the entire company. You’ll learn how every part of a technology company operates, identify problems yourself, and build the systems that solve them.\nWhat You’ll Build\nThe Grid should make information flow through Quindar automatically. A Product Manager writes a specification. From there:\nEngineering requirements and tickets are generated with the context needed for coding agents to begin implementation.\n\nEngineers review, test, and approve agent-generated software.\n\nCustomer and administrator documentation stays synchronized with the product.\n\nMarketing can generate accurate blogs, release materials, and technical collateral.\n\nSales and Capture teams can access approved product capabilities, architectures, and past performance when building proposals.\n\nSensitive information including CUI and other controlled data stays within the appropriate security boundaries.\n\nYour job is to build the connective tissue that makes this possible.\n\nWhat You’ll Do\nEmbed with teams across Quindar to understand how they actually work.\n\nIdentify repetitive, manual, or fragmented workflows that should become software.\n\nConnect SaaS tools, APIs, databases, internal systems, LLMs, and AI agents.\n\nBuild custom software when an integration or off-the-shelf product isn’t enough.\n\nCreate workflows that turn Product specifications into structured engineering work.\n\nGive coding agents reliable context from which they can generate software for engineers to review.\n\nBuild systems that keep internal, customer, and administrator documentation continuously current.\n\nConnect Product knowledge to Marketing, Sales, Capture, and Programs.\n\nCreate secure AI-assisted workflows for government proposals and other controlled information.\n\nHelp establish how humans and agents work together across Quindar.\n\nMeasure what’s working, kill what isn’t, and continuously improve The Grid.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nWe care more about urgency, curiosity, technical judgment, and speed than title or tenure.\nWrite production software and is comfortable learning unfamiliar systems quickly.\n\nUses AI coding tools naturally and is excited about agentic software development.\n\nLikes talking to users and understanding the problem before building.\n\nCan work across APIs, data, automation, backend systems, and lightweight interfaces.\n\nComfortable deploying software and writing backend/frontend code\n\nIs comfortable being handed an outcome rather than a detailed specification.\n\nHas strong curiosity about how businesses operate.\n\nMoves quickly and prefers shipping something useful over debating the perfect architecture.\n\nCan communicate effectively with engineers and non-engineers.\n\nHas unusually high ownership and isn’t afraid to question an existing process.\n\nExperience with enterprise integrations, developer tooling, LLMs, agents, knowledge systems, security, or government environments is helpful but not required.\n\nWhy This Role Is Different\nMost engineers spend their careers going deeper into one part of the stack. In this role, you’ll go across the company.\n\nYou’ll see how Product decisions become software, how software becomes customer value, how Marketing explains it, how Sales sells it, how government proposals are built, how security affects architecture, and how a growing company actually operates.\n\nIf you eventually want to start a company, become an engineering or product leader, or simply understand how technology businesses work end-to-end, there are few engineering seats with this much surface area.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nProduct requirements move into Engineering with minimal manual translation.\n\nCoding agents can perform meaningful implementation work using structured company context.\n\nDocumentation changes alongside the product instead of becoming stale.\n\nEmployees can find authoritative information without knowing who to ask.\n\nMarketing and Growth can create accurate materials without repeatedly pulling engineers into the process.\n\nCapture teams can assemble compliant proposal content dramatically faster.\n\nManual coordination is increasingly replaced by software and agents.\n\nEvery new workflow makes The Grid more capable than it was before.\n\nITAR Requirements\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.\nWhy You'll Love Working at Quindar\nWe work in a cutting edge industry and you will get the opportunity to be part of a small team with a large direct impact on the success of our customers’ space missions!\n\nWe take work life balance very seriously. We require employees to take 15 days off but provide unlimited PTO and follow most US federal government holidays.\n\nMental health is just as important as physical so we provide quarterly health & wellness benefits.\n\nComprehensive health insurance for you and your family with 100% coverage for employees.\n\nWe encourage employees to save for retirement and provide 4% 401(k) matching.\n\nAnnually we have a 4-day company offsite. Previous locations include San Francisco, Nashville, Denver, Santa Fe, New Orleans, San Diego, Bozeman, and New York City.\n\nOur culture and company is evolving. You will be key in creating the next major or minor version!","description_format":"text","description_chars":6095,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Ground Systems","Space Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-03T11:49:48Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-26T23:49:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":185000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/quindar-software-engineer-ai-internal-systems","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/quindar-software-engineer-ai-internal-systems.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T10:28:50Z","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":12055,"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":1123},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1123"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fquindar-software-engineer-ai-internal-systems"},{"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%2Fquindar-software-engineer-ai-internal-systems"},{"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%2Fquindar-software-engineer-ai-internal-systems"},{"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/quindar-software-engineer-ai-internal-systems\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fquindar-software-engineer-ai-internal-systems"}]}
