Thatch is changing that. We help companies give every employee a real healthcare budget instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, so people can choose the coverage and care that works for them, and employers get predictable costs they can control.\nIt’s a simple idea, but making it real means solving hard problems across healthcare, payments, and technology, and we’re just getting started. We look for people who like solving complex problems, use good judgment, and are comfortable working through ambiguity. People here care deeply about our customers, take real responsibility for what gets built, and are driven by doing work that matters.\nAbout the role\nThatch is reimagining how health benefits work. We help employers give their employees a healthcare budget to choose the coverage that works best for them, while making benefits easier to manage and costs more predictable for businesses.\nWe're looking for a Partner Engineer to own the reliability and success of our payroll and HRIS integrations as we scale. You'll work directly with customers, integration partners, and internal teams to solve complex technical challenges, validate new integrations, and keep critical connections running reliably.\nThis is a high-impact role with real ownership from day one. You'll play a key part in delivering a seamless experience for our customers while helping our engineering team stay focused on building what's next.\nWhat you will do\nOwn integration health. Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve payroll and HRIS connection issues, ensuring integrations work reliably for our customers.\nLead technical validation. Partner directly with enterprise customers to test payroll integrations, identify potential issues, and ensure successful launches.\nBe the technical expert. Help customers and internal teams navigate complex payroll configurations, integration capabilities, and API limitations.\nDrive issues to resolution. Work across customers, external partners, and engineering to diagnose problems, remove blockers, and own outcomes.\nBuild scalable processes. Develop runbooks, monitoring practices, and workflows that improve reliability and reduce recurring issues.\n Shape how we scale. Identify patterns and opportunities to improve our integrations, customer experience, and engineering efficiency\nWhat we are looking for\n5+ years of experience in partner engineering, solutions engineering, technical integrations, or a similar customer-facing technical role.\nStrong understanding of APIs, including the ability to read documentation, troubleshoot failures, and diagnose integration issues.\nExperience owning complex technical problems across multiple systems, stakeholders, or external partners.\nConfidence working directly with customers, translating technical complexity into clear guidance and solutions.\nStrong ownership mindset, with the ability to independently prioritize issues and drive them through resolution.\nExperience building repeatable processes, documentation, or monitoring practices to improve operational reliability. \nExperience that stands out\nExperience with payroll, HRIS, or benefits platforms, particularly complex enterprise configurations and integrations.\nExperience working with third-party APIs and integration partners, such as Finch, Merge, or similar platforms.\nExperience building internal tools, scripts, or automations to improve integration reliability and reduce manual work.\nExperience in a forward-deployed engineering or technical solutions role, solving complex customer problems and translating them into scalable technical solutions.\nWhat to expect\nWe aim to move quickly, and most candidates complete the process within 2-3 weeks. You can expect:\nAn initial conversation with a recruiter.\nA conversation with the hiring manager to discuss your experience and approach to technical problem-solving.\nA practical technical exercise and conversations with cross-functional partners.\nA final conversation with company leadership.\nEstimated Compensation Range\n$160,000—$195,000 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":4177,"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":["Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Insurance & Benefits"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T20:41:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":62,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":195000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/thatch-partner-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/thatch-partner-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T01:10:11Z","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":1333,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"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":685673},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=685673"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthatch-partner-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%2Fthatch-partner-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%2Fthatch-partner-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/thatch-partner-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthatch-partner-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3419962}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"thatch.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3419962},"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); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
