We want every engineer to be able to delegate work to an agent and trust the result, with the right standards, guardrails, and visibility built into the path itself. This new team exists to make that the default: composing what already exists wherever it's good enough, and building only what doesn't. It's engineering excellence applied specifically to how we build software with AI.\nWe're hiring the founding engineers for this team. You'll help shape the team's scope, standards, and first deliverables from day one, not inherit someone else's roadmap.\nHelp build secure, governed ways for agents to reach internal tools and data, with the scoping, credentials, and audit trails that make that access trustworthy. \nHelp build and run the containerized environments agents work in, where things like isolation, reproducibility, and model/cost choices are actually controlled. \nHelp turn the team's engineering standards and conventions into something tools and agents can actually consume and follow, not just documentation that drifts out of date. \nContribute to establishing the baselines and metrics the team doesn't have yet, so claims about speed, quality, and cost are backed by numbers. \nWork with CI/CD, security, and platform teams to plug agent workflows into tools the company already uses, rather than reinventing them. \nHelp review and harden what the team ships with the same rigor you'd apply to any system other engineers depend on: tests, documentation, and a clear plan for who supports it. \nShare your perspective with teammates on what the team takes on, and when to adopt an existing tool versus build something new. \nWork with the team's technical product owner and stakeholders to understand priorities and turn ideas into delivered work. \nWork closely with the other engineers on the team to reason through ambiguous problems together. We want your questions, ideas, and pushback, not just completed tasks. \nRequirements\nSolid professional software engineering experience at a senior level (5+ years of professional experience), with a record of delivering reliable work and speaking up to improve how the team approaches it. \nFamiliarity with internal developer platforms, \"paved road\" tooling, or developer-enablement work, and an interest in making other engineers more effective. \nHands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, including quality gates defined as code. \nExperience with Kubernetes or comparable container orchestration, and comfort supporting services from build through production operation. \nWorking knowledge of observability, such as structured logging, tracing, and metrics/dashboards (e.g., Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or similar), and using it to answer \"is this actually working?\" \nComfort working in Python; we care more about your ability to reason across a stack and pick up what's needed than mastery of any one language. \nCuriosity and a genuine desire to learn: this space is moving fast, the right answers aren't settled yet, and the best candidates will enjoy figuring them out rather than expecting a playbook. This is essential for the role. \nA habit of contributing to the discussion: you ask questions, offer ideas, and share your view, rather than waiting to be handed a task. \nStrong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs clearly to teammates, other engineering teams, and stakeholders who weren't in the room when the decision was made. \nComfort working through ambiguous or evolving problems with teammates, since much of this team's early work won't have a settled playbook to follow. \nNice To Have\nExperience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, agentic coding tools), and even better, experience building platforms, tooling, or guardrails around them. \nExperience building AI tooling, personal or professional, and a natural enjoyment of experimenting with new approaches. \nFamiliarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar tool-access and governance patterns.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4152,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"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":["Auctions","Marketplaces"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-11T20:23:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T21:09:51Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rb-global-senior-software-engineer-6","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rb-global-senior-software-engineer-6.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T21:09:51Z","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":41470,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2965322},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2965322"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frb-global-senior-software-engineer-6"},{"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%2Frb-global-senior-software-engineer-6"},{"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%2Frb-global-senior-software-engineer-6"},{"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/rb-global-senior-software-engineer-6\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frb-global-senior-software-engineer-6"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4091791}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rbglobal.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4091791},"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.
