We are starting by building the modern operating system for procurement, helping businesses understand their supply networks and adapt to disruption.\nSilkline is a seed-stage tech startup backed by top venture investors. This past year, we have grown our customer base 5x, and we are looking to grow rapidly. Join us on the ground floor as we scale our product offering and customer base.\nThe Founding Team\nIsaac Chambers is a 3x founder and started his career at Deloitte Consulting, focusing on supply chain & manufacturing operations for the aerospace & defense sector.\n Brent Shulman is a full-stack engineering leader and was previously an engineer at Palantir and Pave. While at Pave (where he joined as the 10th engineer), he founded, grew, and led the data integration team - scaling from 10 to thousands of customer connections.\nThe Opportunity\nAs an early engineer, you will play a critical role in setting Silkline’s technical direction. You will be hands-on, building our early product and talking directly with our initial customers and users. From the start, it is critical that you can build a 0-1 product with great UI/UX. As we grow, you will own and lead the architectural roadmap that will lay the foundation for the Silkline platform. Your technical leadership will be a key factor in supporting and growing our engineering and product teams.\nYou need to be both strategic and tactical. We are seeking a builder to develop our product specs and front-end components into an enterprise-ready application. We are also looking for a self-starter, not afraid to get their hands dirty and rapidly iterate on prototypes early in the development lifecycle. An ability to handle ambiguity is a must.\nWe need a top-tier team to help build a platform that will fundamentally change and improve supply chain networks.\nLooking back on your first 12 months at Silkline, you will have...\nBuilt and led the delivery of the early versions of the Silkline platform, spearheading pilot programs at initial customers\nWorked with the team to think through strategy and the evolution of the business\nInfluenced new product and feature design while defining a long-term technical strategy aligned with industry best practices\nDesigned and implemented platform integrations with outside APIs, partners, and cloud infrastructure\nBuilt something scrappily to show customer value, so that we have now earned the right to re-architect for scale.\nWhat you bring to Silkline:\n5+ years building across front-end and back-end\nExperience with modern, open-source tech (Typescript, React, Next.js, GraphQL, Trigger.dev)\nStartup experience and/or agency experience (bonus if it is in supply chain). Early-stage product experience building from zero to one\nAbility to build out various API integrations with speed\nExperience working with non-technical stakeholders and users. Comfortable leading and managing an engineering team\nIdeal experience includes previous work with various ERP system API\nCompensation includes equity\nCompensation\nThe base pay range for this role is $150,000 - $225,000 per year.\nIndividuals of all genders, races, sexual orientations, nationalities, abilities, veteran statuses, and educational backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. Currently, we do not sponsor applicants for work visas. Because this role touches ITAR-controlled and CUI data, you must be a US citizen, lawful permanent resident, or otherwise qualify as a \"US person\" under ITAR (22 CFR 120.62).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3589,"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"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Workflow & Process Automation (RPA, BPM)","Supply Chain & Logistics Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2025-08-15T16:33:16Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-08-13T11:22:45Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-09-01T09:42:42Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T16:45:42Z"}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.285,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":408,"expected_fill_days":113,"reasons":["conf:8","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/silkline-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/silkline-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T23:07:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":688,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4312,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
