Backed by experienced operators and growing quickly, we are building the infrastructure to scale a high-performance, data-driven business.\nWe are a lean team with outsized ambition. Almost everything we do runs on software we built ourselves, and the pace of the business is now set by how good that software is.\nThe Role\nYou will own our internal platform. It is what our operations, finance and delivery teams work in every day: the systems that move money, track work, sync communications, and tell us what is actually happening in the business.\nOne person built most of it. You are taking it over, making it something the company can depend on rather than something one person holds in their head, and then extending it.\nThis is not a product engineering job with a designer, a product manager and a groomed backlog. You will sit with the people doing the work, find the thing costing them the most hours, and go fix it. Judgment about what to build matters more here than depth in any particular stack.\nWhat You'll Do\nTake over what exists. Learn the running systems, document them properly, and get them to a state where they are not dependent on any single person, including you.\nGive the business its numbers. Several of the things leadership most needs to see are not currently visible anywhere. You will build the data capture and reporting that changes that, starting from agreed definitions rather than a blank dashboard.\nTurn spreadsheets into systems. A lot of important work still lives in shared sheets with no state, no ownership and no history. You will move it into the platform, one workflow at a time.\nFind the constraint and remove it. There is far more to build than one person can build. The job is choosing correctly, repeatedly, and being able to explain the choice.\nBe the person who says where things stand. Short weekly written updates, honest dates, early warnings when something is going to slip. Leadership should never have to ask.\nWork directly with the founder. No layers.\nRequirements\nYou have been the engineer an operations team depended on. Ideally you were early at a startup and built the internal systems the company ran on.\nYou are a strong writer. You can explain a technical tradeoff to a non-technical reader in a paragraph, and your status updates are short, specific and on time.\nYou are operations-minded before you are engineering-minded. You would rather ship the boring fix that saves ten hours a week than the elegant one that saves none.\nYou have real range: application development, integrations between third-party tools, data modelling, and enough infrastructure to keep your own work running.\nYou are effective with AI tooling and use it to move at a multiple of normal pace.\nYou are genuinely autonomous and reliable when remote. You set your own priorities, you follow through, and you flag problems before they land on someone else.\nYou handle sensitive data and money-adjacent workflows with discretion and care.\nBonus Points For\nHaving inherited an undocumented system from a departing engineer and made it dependable\nOperations-heavy businesses: logistics, field services, fintech onboarding, marketplaces, anything with physical or financial workflows\nPayments, reconciliation, or multi-account financial tooling\nFamiliarity with Notion, Discord, Google Workspace, Airtable, and lightweight project management tools\nInterest in startups, investing, alternative markets, or behavioral strategy\nBenefits\nOwn an entire function from day one, working directly with a high-caliber founder\nNo red tape. You propose an improvement and you ship it\nShape how a fast-growing company is built from the ground up\nCompetitive compensation based on experience\nFully remote with flexible hours","description_format":"text","description_chars":3877,"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":[{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Ukraine","iso":"UA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Angel Networks & Startup Accelerators","Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T12:26:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.507,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":57,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/viewlineventures-internal-tools-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/viewlineventures-internal-tools-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T22:34:20Z","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":30650,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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":690021},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=690021"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fviewlineventures-internal-tools-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%2Fviewlineventures-internal-tools-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%2Fviewlineventures-internal-tools-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/viewlineventures-internal-tools-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fviewlineventures-internal-tools-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":864335}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"viewlineventures.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":864335},"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.
