Together with our Bengaluru engineering team, we are building finance, accounting, payroll and expense management solutions that simplifies how businesses track and reconcile spending.\nThousands of finance teams globally use our product to streamline expense management, integrate seamlessly with leading accounting platforms, and are recognized for its clean design, usability, and speed.\nWe're investing heavily in AI - building the platform that lets AI agents and assistants do real engineering work, reliably and at scale. This team designs and runs the infrastructure behind our coding agents, review agents, and internal AI assistants: the orchestration, context and memory systems, evaluation frameworks, and feedback loops that make them better over time.\nWhat We're Looking For\nWe're looking for someone with 3+ years of software engineering experience (mid-level) or 6+ years (senior), with hands-on experience building LLM-powered or agent-based systems in production.\nTechnical Skills\nSolid software engineering fundamentals: system design, API design, data modelling, and clean, maintainable code.\nExperience building and running production systems in the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containers, Kubernetes or similar, and infrastructure as code.\nHands-on experience with distributed systems: queues, async workflows, concurrency, reliability, and failure handling.\nPractical experience building with LLMs: tool use, agents, prompt and context engineering, RAG, and evaluation.\nFamiliarity with agent protocols and ecosystems (e.g., MCP) and with using AI coding tools day to day.\nLeadership & Ownership\nComfort working independently and handling ambiguity: you can take a loosely defined problem, scope it, and drive it to production.\nClear written and verbal communication, including explaining trade-offs to both technical and non technical audiences.\nAt the senior level, we also expect you to lead projects and set technical direction, mentor other engineers, define evaluation and quality standards, and influence architecture across teams.\nMindset & Collaboration\nGrowth mindset - curious, always learning, and open to feedback.\nWorks closely with the engineers who use these tools every day; you help the whole organization build software better and faster.\nNice to Have\nExperience with trace analysis or log mining to find and fix agent failure modes.\nExperience building internal platforms or SDKs that other teams adopted.\nBackground in observability, CI/CD, or developer productivity tooling.\nExperience with model routing, cost optimization, or prompt caching.\nOpen-source or public contributions in agent tooling or LLM infrastructure.\nWhat to Expect\nWe value humility and collaboration - we're looking for people who can work as part of a team, not in silos.\nWe expect engineers to take ownership beyond just writing code - including tests, documentation, and long-term system quality.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3146,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["ERP & Business Management Software","HR & Payroll Software","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T18:14:12Z"}],"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":61,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T22:45:17Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sage-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sage-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T22:45:17Z","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":34511,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"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":8779},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8779"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsage-senior-software-engineer"},{"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%2Fsage-senior-software-engineer"},{"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%2Fsage-senior-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/sage-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsage-senior-software-engineer"}]}
