Our customers include many of the top firms in the industry. Some of these companies are running billion dollar construction projects on workflows that still look like it's 1985.\nConstruction is 10% of GDP and still massively underserved by software. We are changing that.\nWe recently raised a $14M Series A from leading construction tech investors and are entering our next phase of growth. We are building a set of AI native products that will define how this industry operates.\nAbout the Engineering Org\nWe're in the age of ai and the role of the engineer is rapidly changing. We're aware. We're being very intentional of ensuring we adapt with it. We are fostering an engineering culture of growth and development. We strongly emphasize care of craft and winning together. Everyone operates like an owner, we find a way, and we win together.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re hiring a Software Engineer to own our data platform and analytics. This will be the event infrastructure that ties our services together and makes surfacing new insights to our customers seamless.\nWe want to be clear that this is not a business insights or analyst role - this is a backend/systems role. You are going to be designing migrations, schemas, and the pipelines for all of the data that we can read off of extremely dense construction plansets.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and architect real time data ingestion\nWe have hundreds and soon will have thousands of ML jobs running at any given time processing dense construction documents. We parse and extract lots of information about these projects. This information should be ingested in real time for greater insights for our customers as well as for our internal team.\n\nConsolidate and cleanse our existing data architecture\nThis data is inherently messy. We need clean data schemas for this as we grow and evolve. You should be designing with our entire system in mind.\n\nSet up the data platform for agentic layers\nProviding context to our Rebar Agent is a pillar of having a world class agent. You will be fundamental in this role\n\nData platform for developer velocity\nFinally, you are setting up the backbone of our data platform so that other engineers can access and query the data they need with ease.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nWe’re looking for a passion and excitement about large amounts of structured and unstructured data. You should eat and breathe your domain and be hungry for it. We want curious engineers that love the research part of the job. Interested in trying DuckDB? Or just want to mess around with parquet files some? This could be your chance to try it. Always wanted to explore the cost benefit analysis between Cassandra, DynamoDB, and Scylla? Or intrigued by balancing a local analytics platform that minimizes latency and network load? You might have found your role.\nWe want someone that has experience dealing with vastly more data than we currently have because that is the direction that we’re moving. You should be prepared to work hard (we are still a Series A startup), take a risk, learn a shit ton, and grow individually and with us as a company.\nQualifications\n5+ years of industry software engineering experience\n\nexperience with data intensive systems in productions\n\nideally you will have handled complex data migrations for active clients\n\nknowledge of various databases and indexes (Postgres/Aurora preferred)\n\nexperience justifying data architecture tradeoffs\n\nNice to Have\nEvent-driven / streaming pipeline experience.\n\nAnalytics modeling (materialized views, rollups, columnar/OLAP engines)\n\nExperience with workflow orchestration (temporal is what we use)\n\nWorked in a small, high-ownership engineering team where you set the standard rather than inherited one.\n\nCompensation and Benefits\nSalary: Competitive base salary\n\nEquity: Meaningful equity package, commensurate with experience\n\nBenefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage\n\nPerks:\nagentic tooling budget\n\nlunches provided, dinners provided (after a set time)\n\ngreat culture and office banter\n\nThis is a salaried, onsite role located in New York City's Flatiron district. We are still a startup! We love working onsite together and believe strongly that this gives us for creative problem-solving, and building strong connections. You'll be at the heart of our fast-paced operations, actively contributing to a culture that values engagement, growth, and teamwork.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4651,"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":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["B2B Commerce","Construction Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-06T14:59:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.369,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":102,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rebar-software-engineer-data-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rebar-software-engineer-data-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T21:58:15Z","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":6860,"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":7134},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7134"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frebar-software-engineer-data-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%2Frebar-software-engineer-data-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%2Frebar-software-engineer-data-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/rebar-software-engineer-data-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frebar-software-engineer-data-platform"}]}
