We deliver 250+ risk signals on any business in under 30 seconds via API.\nOur customers include some of the largest payment networks, fintechs, banks, and merchant services companies in the world. We help risk and underwriting teams understand who a merchant is, what they do, and whether their online presence suggests fraud, compliance, or business model risk.\nWe are a lean, profitable team building critical infrastructure for the payments ecosystem.\nWe use AI heavily, both inside the product and in how we build it. Our product uses LLMs as part of broader Python-driven workflows for analyzing businesses, websites, online presence, and risk signals. Our engineering team uses AI-assisted development tools aggressively to write, review, debug, refactor, and reason about code. We do not think of ourselves as an “AI wrapper” company, but we do expect engineers to have embraced modern AI tools and to use them with strong production judgment.\nWhy This Role Exists\nWe’re looking for a senior engineer to support our scale. You’ll strengthen the infrastructure behind a live, revenue-generating product as we support larger customers, higher usage, and more demanding enterprise requirements: AWS, ECS/Fargate, CloudFormation, CI/CD, release management, observability, and reliability.\nBut this isn’t a pure platform role. You’ll also ship product features, build APIs, improve backend workflows, and work across the full stack. We need pragmatic builders who can improve systems while continuing to ship.\nThis is a core team role. The work may skew more toward backend/platform, product engineering, or applied AI systems depending on your strengths, but we are looking for someone who can operate broadly and take ownership across the system.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn and evolve our AWS infrastructure: ECS/Fargate, RDS, ElastiCache, S3\nBuild and maintain CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release management processes\nImprove observability, alerting, and incident response as we scale\nShip full-stack product features in Python/Django and React\nImprove the reliability, latency, and debuggability of workflows that depend on external APIs, web data, and LLM calls\nUse AI-assisted development tools to move faster on implementation, debugging, test generation, refactoring, documentation, and code review\nWork on both new systems and unglamorous but important fixes: bugs, edge cases, small optimizations, operational cleanup, and customer-impacting issues\nCollaborate with engineering, sales, and customer success to support enterprise customers\nWhat We're Looking For\nProfessional software engineering experience building, shipping, and maintaining production systems. We care more about demonstrated ownership and judgment than years of experience, but this is not an entry-level role.\nIdeally, experience at a fast-growing startup or small engineering team where you had to ship quickly, operate with ambiguity, and own work beyond a narrow job description.\nStrong in Python, Django, and PostgreSQL\nComfortable owning production AWS infrastructure end-to-end, from deployment configuration and permissions to reliability, scaling, observability, and cost management\nComfortable with React: you don't need to be a frontend specialist, but you can build and modify UI when needed\nProficient with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar tools. You use them regularly and they make you measurably faster.\nStrong judgment when working with AI-generated code: you know how to review it, test it, constrain it, and keep it from making the codebase worse.\nGit: clean branches, good commit hygiene, comfortable with rebases and release workflows\nBias toward action. You default to shipping over deliberating, but you know when infrastructure decisions need to be right the first time.\nComfortable in a small team where the work ranges from architecture decisions to customer-impacting bugs\nComfortable with some customer context. This is not a sales role, but you should care about how engineering decisions affect real enterprise users.\nNice to Have\nExperience with ECS/Fargate, Terraform or other IaC tools, CI/CD, and production deployment workflows\nExperience with observability tools such as Datadog, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch, Grafana, or similar\nExperience with API Gateway or production API infrastructure\nExperience with queue-based or async workflow systems such as Celery\nExperience operating systems that depend on third-party APIs, scraping, external data vendors, or LLM APIs\nExperience with payments, fintech, fraud, underwriting, compliance, or risk systems\nWhat Success Looks Like\nRun on a more reliable, observable, and scalable AWS foundation.\nShip with safer and more predictable deployment workflows.\nImprove uptime, latency, alerting, and operational confidence for enterprise customers.\nReduce infrastructure fragility and manual operational work.\nContinue shipping customer-facing product improvements while strengthening the platform underneath.\nMake AI-assisted development a force multiplier without sacrificing code quality, maintainability, or production reliability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5216,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["RegTech, AML & Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-28T08:32:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.477,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":65,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/truebiz-senior-software-engineer-core-team-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/truebiz-senior-software-engineer-core-team-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T03:31:36Z","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":4773,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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":5552},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5552"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftruebiz-senior-software-engineer-core-team-2"},{"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%2Ftruebiz-senior-software-engineer-core-team-2"},{"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%2Ftruebiz-senior-software-engineer-core-team-2"},{"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/truebiz-senior-software-engineer-core-team-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftruebiz-senior-software-engineer-core-team-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":144525}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"truebiz.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":144525},"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.
