You’ll understand the “why”, decide the “how”, and see it through in production\n\nWork stays with the people who build it. Engineers own it end-to-end; from design through to production and iteration, with tight feedback loops\n\nRegularly we run Willpower Week, a dedicated time driven by engineers to improve developer experience, tackle tech debt, and fix the things that have been getting in your way.\n\nQuarterly AI hackathons and team outings to step outside the sprint to build and test new ideas, then connect and recharge together.\n\nFeedback is part of the everyday; open, direct, and ego-free, all aimed at helping the team continuously improve.\n\nWeekly opportunities to learn and share, from team demos to focused sessions on new technologies, with space to showcase what you’ve been building.\n\nWe live by our SAFE values:\nSpeed: We move quickly with purpose\n\nAll-in: We win as a team\n\nFind the Impact: We focus on what matters\n\nElevate: We raise the bar, every day\n\nTL;DR We’re rewriting how Australians deal with death by making estate planning simple, accessible and modern through great technology. At Safewill, you’ll grow faster because you’re closer to the action. You’ll see how strategy becomes execution, how data shapes decisions, and how a small team builds something that genuinely changes lives.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3390,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Legal Services","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T09:25:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.428,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":56,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/safewill-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/safewill-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T12:39:52Z","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":26228,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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":8541},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8541"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsafewill-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Fsafewill-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Fsafewill-engineering-manager"},{"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/safewill-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsafewill-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4151482}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"safewill.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4151482},"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.
