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.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nFounded 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.\nThis is a ground-floor opportunity - the engineers joining at this stage will have outsized influence on architecture, product direction, and culture.\nAbout the Role\nThis 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.\nThe 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.\nKey Responsibilities\n⦁ Build and ship features end-to-end - backend services in Go/Python and frontend experiences in React/TypeScript\n⦁ Design APIs, data models, and service architectures that support our client's agentic AI capabilities\n⦁ Create intuitive interfaces that turn complex enterprise data into clear, actionable workflows\n⦁ Partner with ML engineers to bring AI-driven features into production\n⦁ Own features through the full lifecycle: scoping, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration\n⦁ Engage directly with enterprise customers and stakeholders to understand real-world needs and refine the product\n⦁ Contribute to infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience as the engineering team grows\nRequirements\n⦁ 3+ years of professional engineering experience with meaningful work spanning both frontend and backend\n⦁ Proficient in TypeScript/React and at least one of: Go or Python\n⦁ Strong product instincts - thinks about the user, not just the code\n⦁ Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and modern deployment practices\nBonus Skills\n⦁ Experience with agentic AI systems, LLM integrations, or RAG architectures\n⦁ Background in enterprise SaaS, retail technology, or data-intensive products\n⦁ Familiarity with data visualization, real-time systems, or streaming architectures\n⦁ Contributions to developer tooling, CI/CD, or infrastructure automation\n⦁ Graph database experience\nLogistics\nLocation: 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.\nCompensation: $140,000 - $170,000 base salary, plus equity (approximately 25% of base per year, vesting) and bonus.\nOpenings: Up to 2 hires\nBenefits & Other:\n⦁ Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)\n⦁ Home office stipend and flexible PTO\n⦁ Ground-floor equity at a well-funded seed-stage company\n⦁ Strong team culture: weekly activities, team events, zero attrition to date\nInterview Process\n1. Recruiter screen\n2. Introductory call with the team (culture and background fit)\n3. 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)\n4. 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).\n5. Offer\nCompensation\nThe base pay range for this role is $140,000 - $170,000 per year.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5018,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T03:57:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.151,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":138,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":170000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/syndesus-full-stack-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/syndesus-full-stack-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T10:23:23Z","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":15842,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4420272},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4420272"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsyndesus-full-stack-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%2Fsyndesus-full-stack-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%2Fsyndesus-full-stack-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/syndesus-full-stack-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsyndesus-full-stack-engineer"}]}
