Full-Stack Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 13, 2026. First seen by Alion on May 27, 2026.
About Our Client
Our client is an applied AI and data analytics company building the intelligence layer that powers enterprise decision-making. Its platform unifies an organization's full data landscape - internal systems, social media signals, industry reports, and consumer behavior data - into a single coherent intelligence layer that surfaces insights and automates workflows that previously consumed weeks of analyst time.
The core thesis is that research and data today remain fragmented: very little of it is connected, and enormous value disappears into that "dark data." Our client is converting sentiment from a lagging signal into a leading one, allowing brands to move months faster than legacy research tools permit. The platform is building toward a consumer ontology - think of Palantir's ontology, but for consumer intelligence - powered by a production graph RAG system that links temporal and sentiment data at a scale not previously attempted.
The product is already delivering eight-figure gross-margin improvements for Fortune 500 retailers. The go-to-market is a land-and-expand motion: starting in insights and research functions, then expanding into innovation, marketing, and eventually supply chain and manufacturing.
Founded by a technical team with deep experience in innovation and graph databases. $14M raised in seed funding. Emerging publicly after almost two years in stealth. Zero attrition since founding. The culture is genuine: weekly team activities (ping pong tournaments, Yankees games, happy hours, game nights), with plus-ones welcome at events.
This is a ground-floor opportunity - the engineers joining at this stage will have outsized influence on architecture, product direction, and culture.
About the Role
This is a mid-level full-stack position. You will work across every layer of the platform - from backend services that process enterprise data at scale to frontend interfaces that make intelligence accessible and actionable. On a team this size, full-stack means full ownership: you will carry features from concept through production and iterate directly with enterprise customers.
The team operates on a DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) model - you own major product features end-to-end rather than simply contributing to them. This is a hands-on IC role for builders who ship.
Key Responsibilities
⦁ Build and ship features end-to-end - backend services in Go/Python and frontend experiences in React/TypeScript
⦁ Design APIs, data models, and service architectures that support our client's agentic AI capabilities
⦁ Create intuitive interfaces that turn complex enterprise data into clear, actionable workflows
⦁ Partner with ML engineers to bring AI-driven features into production
⦁ Own features through the full lifecycle: scoping, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration
⦁ Engage directly with enterprise customers and stakeholders to understand real-world needs and refine the product
⦁ Contribute to infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience as the engineering team grows
Requirements
⦁ 3+ years of professional engineering experience with meaningful work spanning both frontend and backend
⦁ Proficient in TypeScript/React and at least one of: Go or Python
⦁ Strong product instincts - thinks about the user, not just the code
⦁ Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and modern deployment practices
Bonus Skills
⦁ Experience with agentic AI systems, LLM integrations, or RAG architectures
⦁ Background in enterprise SaaS, retail technology, or data-intensive products
⦁ Familiarity with data visualization, real-time systems, or streaming architectures
⦁ Contributions to developer tooling, CI/CD, or infrastructure automation
⦁ Graph database experience
Logistics
Location: New York City - 4 days per week in office, with engineering generally able to take Fridays remote. Additional flexibility is considered case-by-case; the in-office norm is collaborative rather than a strict 5-day mandate.
Compensation: $140,000 - $170,000 base salary, plus equity (approximately 25% of base per year, vesting) and bonus.
Openings: Up to 2 hires
Benefits & Other:
⦁ Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
⦁ Home office stipend and flexible PTO
⦁ Ground-floor equity at a well-funded seed-stage company
⦁ Strong team culture: weekly activities, team events, zero attrition to date
Interview Process
1. Recruiter screen
2. Introductory call with the team (culture and background fit)
3. Technical screen (45-60 minutes) with a senior engineer - architecturally focused, probing on background and hands-on ability (not pure coding, but candidates should demonstrate genuine fluency with code)
4. On-site (~4 hours) - coding interview, system design interview, product sense (30 minutes), AI sense (30 minutes), and a meeting with leadership. Note: a decision is often reached after the first two on-site interviews (~1 hour).
5. Offer
Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $140,000 - $170,000 per year.
