Founded in 2024, the company has grown rapidly and currently counts 5 of the 10 largest independent mortgage banks in the U.S. as enterprise customers. The company is well-funded and at the cutting edge of AI-driven economic transformation.\nLocation: San Francisco, CA (Hybrid)\nEmployment Type: Full time\nDepartment: Engineering\nCompensation: $180K - $300K\nOffers Equity\nAbout the Company\nThe company is the market-leading AI voice agent for mortgage lenders. Founded in 2024, it has grown like crazy (~$0 to $13M in 20 months), and currently counts 5 of the 10 largest independent mortgage banks in the U.S. as enterprise customers. If the company is successful, the cost of owning a home in the US will become ~1% cheaper. The company has raised $21M across its Seed and Series A from top investors.\nWhy This Is a Huge Opportunity\nAround 1% of the U.S. labor force works in phone sales, representing roughly $100B of annual salary, and the industry is poised at the brink of complete disruption. The company is at the cutting edge of this economic transformation, one of the first companies creating real, durable economic value through applied AI.\nBuying a house is the largest financial decision most people make in their lives, and homeownership is tied to many other purchases, including life insurance, homeowners insurance, alarm systems, home renovations, solar panels, and more. By owning the mortgage vertical, the company will own the relationship with the consumer, allowing it to serve as the essential AI infrastructure for high consideration consumer sales.\nWhy Join\nCrazy growth: The market pull is exhilarating - the company has grown 10x in the past 12 months and more than 100x since its seed round, all without a dedicated sales or marketing team. Building something that people want so badly is the best feeling you can have in a startup.\nTeam and Culture: The company is a high-agency team where the bar is high and everyone makes the people around them better. Collaboration and intensity are core team values: people truly care about their work and their coworkers. At the same time, the team doesn't take itself too seriously.\nChallenging problems: Outperforming human sales teams on half a million daily calls is not easy. Low-latency, real-time infra. 99.9% uptime. Enterprise-grade privacy and security. Advanced simulation and evaluation systems. Flexible A/B testing. AI scheduler and dialer. The company owns the whole stack and does not compromise on quality.\n Well-funded: The company has raised $21M+ in total funding, most recently a $15M Series A in June 2026.\nWhat You'll Do\nWork with the product team to translate customer requirements into highly scalable and maintainable software architecture\nUse AI coding agents and internal tooling to deliver new features and improve existing code\nOwn one or more of the company's core software components end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to reliability in production. Examples include: simulation and evaluation system of the AI agents; A/B testing framework; SMS capabilities of the agents; voice orchestration infrastructure; phone number management; outbound strategy, call scheduler and dialer; agent orchestration framework; agent management framework; security and privacy services\nWhat We're Looking For\nDeep understanding of common software design patterns and best practices\nExperience using AI coding tools or agents to ship maintainable, clean code\nExcellent technical communication skills\nTrack record of owning and delivering major product features\nExpert knowledge of at least one major programming language\nExperience in high-growth startups, ideally at Seed through Series B\nBenefits\nTop-of-market medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents\n401(k) with a top-of-market employer match\nUnlimited PTO\nSnacks, weekly team lunches, and dinner provided by the company\nHybrid in-office schedule: four days a week together in SF, with a flexible remote day on Wednesdays","description_format":"text","description_chars":4112,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Life insurance","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","HR & Recruiting AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-03T16:29:09Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":19,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.413,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":56,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rockstar-software-engineer-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rockstar-software-engineer-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T17:15:44Z","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":25823,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3564},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3564"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frockstar-software-engineer-3"},{"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%2Frockstar-software-engineer-3"},{"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%2Frockstar-software-engineer-3"},{"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/rockstar-software-engineer-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frockstar-software-engineer-3"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":197526}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tryrockstar.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":197526},"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.
