We help employers and employees get the most out of their benefits through great service and great technology. We're investing heavily in our engineering capabilities and are looking for a technical leader to help us build faster and smarter.\nAbout the RoleWe're looking for a Lead Software Engineer who represents the best of both worlds: someone who has fully embraced AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) to ship software at a pace that wasn't possible a few years ago — and someone with the engineering depth to know exactly where those tools fall short.\nYou know the difference between moving fast and \"vibe coding.\" You understand that AI-generated code still needs architecture, testing, security review, and thoughtful design — especially in a regulated industry handling sensitive health and financial data. And you're excited to teach others how to work this way.\nThis is a hands-on leadership role. You'll write code, set technical direction, and mentor our existing development team as they adopt AI-assisted workflows.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign, build, and ship features across our benefits administration platform using modern, AI-accelerated development workflows\n\nEstablish best practices for AI-assisted development: when to lean on the tools, when to slow down, and how to review and validate generated code\n\nMentor and upskill our existing engineering team in using tools like Claude Code effectively and responsibly\n\nOwn architectural decisions and ensure our systems remain maintainable, secure, and scalable as development velocity increases\n\nChampion engineering rigor — testing, code review, documentation, and observability — in an AI-augmented workflow\n\nHelp ensure our systems and processes meet HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements, working alongside our compliance team\n\nContribute to hiring and team growth as we scale\n\nWhat We're Looking ForRequired:\n7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior role\n\nDemonstrated, hands-on fluency with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) in real production work — not just experimentation\n\nStrong software engineering fundamentals: system design, testing strategy, code review, and debugging skills that let you catch what AI tools miss\n\nExperience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar of a team\n\nExperience building and operating production systems that handle sensitive data\n\nStrongly Preferred:\nExperience in benefits, payroll, fintech, or HR tech — companies like Rippling, Gusto, Justworks, Lively, HealthEquity, or similar\n\nWorking knowledge of HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 audit processes from an engineering perspective\n\nExperience integrating with financial systems (banking rails, custodial accounts, payment processing)\n\nFamiliarity with the consumer-directed benefits space (HSA/FSA/HRA/COBRA administration)\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nWithin 3 months: You're shipping meaningful features and have assessed our team's current workflows and tooling\n\nWithin 6 months: The team has adopted AI-assisted development practices you've established, with measurable improvements in velocity — without sacrificing quality or compliance posture\n\nWithin 12 months: You've built a development culture that moves fast, ships confidently, and serves as a model for how a regulated-industry engineering team can leverage AI\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nCompetitive Total Salary & Bonus Compensation: $175,000 – $225,000\n\nPerformance Bonus Eligible based on company and individual performance. RMR is a privately held company with no debt or outside investors. We don’t offer equity because we aren’t looking for the boom and bust of the VC world nor are we interested in going public or taking PE money. We are a profitable, stable company and rather than lottery ticket RSUs we pay fair base salaries with generous performance bonuses so that when the company makes money so do you.\n\nGuaranteed Remote: RMR is a remote first company. Our team is spread across the country so you can live where you want provided it’s a US state we can employ you in.\n\nComprehensive health benefits \n\nFSA & HSA Accounts\n\n401(k) with employer match\n\nGenerous PTO that increases with tenure\n\nRocky Mountain Reserve is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.\n\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":4664,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-03T05:29:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["seen:6","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rocky-mountain-reserve-lead-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rocky-mountain-reserve-lead-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T01:08:11Z","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":2502,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4499696},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4499696"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frocky-mountain-reserve-lead-software-engineer"},{"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%2Frocky-mountain-reserve-lead-software-engineer"},{"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%2Frocky-mountain-reserve-lead-software-engineer"},{"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/rocky-mountain-reserve-lead-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frocky-mountain-reserve-lead-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3665067}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rockymountainreserve.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3665067},"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.
