Each machine is built from thousands of parts. Sourcing just one still means trade shows, cold calls and endless scrolling on distributor sites. Supplier quotes land in a dozen formats, get re-keyed by hand into spreadsheets, and 100+ email threads follow just to confirm whether a part lands on time. It's 2026, and the most important machines of the next decade are still being sourced the way they were before the internet.\nSyntro is building the first agentic procurement platform purpose-built for the realities of modern hardware manufacturing. We give manufacturers the ability to discover, select, and manage suppliers across the entire hardware lifecycle, from first prototype to production, at the speed and intelligence of AI.\nWe're an all-Stanford team that's experienced this problem firsthand at Apple, Dell, and Peloton. We're backed by Pear VC and Accel, alongside angels including Diane Greene (Founder, VMware) and Jeff Epstein (former CFO, Oracle).\nThe Role\nWe're looking for a product engineer who wants to work directly with customers, figure out what should exist, and then build it.\nYou'll spend meaningful time with procurement teams: onboarding them, watching them work, understanding where their processes break, and developing your own point of view about what we should build. Then you'll build it.\nThere isn't a product manager sitting between you and the customer. An insight from a Monday customer call might become a prototype Tuesday, go back in front of the customer Wednesday, and be in production Friday.\nWhat You'll Own\nOwn customer problems end to end: Go from customer conversation → product decision → implementation → adoption.\n\nBuild across the stack: Own core product surfaces across frontend and backend in [Next.js, Node, Postgres, etc.].\n\nCreate visibility across hardware procurement: Connect supplier conversations, parts, quotes, POs, BOMs, and other workflows so teams know what's happening without reconstructing it manually.\n\nBuild intelligent workflows: Combine internal context with external supplier and market data to surface risks, opportunities, and what should happen next.\n\nDefine how humans and agents work together: Decide when Syntro should surface information, recommend an action, ask for approval, or execute autonomously.\n\nWho You Are\nYou're an exceptional engineer, particularly with TypeScript and React, with strong product and design instincts.\n\nYou genuinely enjoy talking to customers and understanding how they work.\n\nYou can turn an ambiguous customer problem into a simple product and build it yourself.\n\nYou've taken important products or features from zero to one.\n\nYou'd rather determine what needs to exist than take tickets from a queue.\n\nBonus: You've founded a company, built at the earliest stages of one, worked on procurement/supply chain/manufacturing software, or built products on top of AI systems.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3029,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T23:45:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.318,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":64,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/usesyntro-product-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/usesyntro-product-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T19:26:53Z","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":4998,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4417921},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4417921"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fusesyntro-product-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%2Fusesyntro-product-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%2Fusesyntro-product-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/usesyntro-product-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fusesyntro-product-engineer"}]}
