Our engineers own meaningful systems end-to-end, ship production code every week, and work directly with product, data science, and go-to-market teams to deliver outcomes that matter.\nAs a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will own features and systems across the stack - from web frontends to backend services, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure. The backend work here is not just CRUD: it spans analytical SQL over large-scale TV viewership datasets, Firestore-backed caching pipelines, a multi-cloud environment (GCP and AWS), and a non-trivial auth model. We care about engineers who think in systems, take ownership of correctness and reliability, and are comfortable doing the archaeology that real production codebases require.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn features end-to-end - frontend interfaces, backend services and APIs, data models, and the infrastructure that runs them\nWrite and maintain analytical SQL over large-scale datasets (BigQuery); understand the domain well enough to extend measurement logic correctly\nDesign and operate data pipelines and caching layers that sit between raw data and the product surface\nMaintain and evolve the auth and authorization model across Firebase, Auth0, and Firestore security rules\nManage multi-cloud integrations across GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Firestore, Cloud Storage) and AWS (S3)\nHold a high bar for testing, observability, and reliability - you instrument what you ship and own its behavior in production\nParticipate in architecture reviews, contribute to the technical roadmap, and mentor junior engineers\nWhat We're Looking For\n5-8 years of experience building and operating production software\nStrong command of TypeScript or JavaScript across frontend and backend\nExperience building backend services and APIs - RESTful design, authentication patterns, token-based auth flows\nComfortable writing non-trivial SQL - window functions, aggregations, query optimization; BigQuery or similar analytical datastore experience a plus\nHands-on experience with cloud infrastructure: serverless or managed compute, object storage, secret management, scheduled jobs\nFamiliarity with eventual consistency and cache invalidation patterns in distributed systems\nProficient in agentic development - building or integrating LLM-powered workflows, tool-use patterns, or AI agents in production\nComfortable doing archaeology in production codebases - reading unfamiliar code, identifying live vs. legacy paths, and making safe changes\nNice To Have\nExperience with React and modern frontend architecture patterns\nFirebase platform experience: Cloud Functions, Firestore, Authentication\nGCP and/or AWS in production; comfort across both is a strong plus\nBackground in ad tech, audience measurement, or CTV/OTT platforms\nExposure to ad measurement concepts: reach, frequency, attribution, exposure modeling","description_format":"text","description_chars":3040,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Advertising","Media & Audience Measurement"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:20:12Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":5,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":183750,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":2}],"liveness":{"score":47,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.785,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":124,"expected_fill_days":143,"reasons":["conf:0","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/samba-tv-senior-software-engineer-full-stack","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/samba-tv-senior-software-engineer-full-stack.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T07:09:54Z","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":10842,"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":171913},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=171913"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsamba-tv-senior-software-engineer-full-stack"},{"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%2Fsamba-tv-senior-software-engineer-full-stack"},{"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%2Fsamba-tv-senior-software-engineer-full-stack"},{"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/samba-tv-senior-software-engineer-full-stack\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsamba-tv-senior-software-engineer-full-stack"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":439245}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"samba.tv","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":439245},"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);
