We want a builder who loves thinking about product and has the catch phrase, “I can fix that.”\n\nYou’ll take ideas, especially around AI and our real estate marketing product, and turn them into things that make a tangible impact on our clients’ real world work. That means shipping code, talking to customers, untangling messy workflows, and owning the last 10% that makes or breaks our product.\n\nWe’re a bootstrapped company, so everything we build matters. Revenue, client retention, internal ease-of-use; you help move the needle on all of it.\n\nThis is a contract, remote position located based out of Lahore, Pakistan. \n\nWhat Will You Do?\n\nPartner with the Head of Engineering and cross-functional leaders to identify product and AI opportunities tied to revenue, customer success, efficiency, or long-term company value.\n\nWork directly with customers and internal teams to understand their workflows, uncover the actual problem, and translate ambiguous business needs into a clear technical plan.\n\nBuild full-stack solutions using Python, TypeScript, and React, including product features, internal tools, integrations, data workflows, and AI-supported applications.\n\nOwn projects from discovery and prototyping through testing, production deployment, adoption, and ongoing improvement.\n\nDefine what success should look like before development begins and measure whether the finished solution creates the intended business or customer outcome.\n\nMake practical decisions about scope, speed, maintainability, security, and technical quality so projects move forward without creating avoidable messes behind them.\n\nTurn successful customer-specific or internal solutions into reusable components, documented playbooks, and scalable product capabilities.\n\nBring lessons from customers and real-world deployments back to the broader product roadmap.\n\nKeep stakeholders informed, surface risks early, and create enough structure to prevent important work from getting lost between departments.\n\nWhat Big Things Will You Own?\nAt First\n\nLearn Wise Pelican’s product, technical architecture, business model, customer workflows, and current AI initiatives.\n\nPartner with the Head of Engineering to define the initial purpose, priorities, success measures, and working model for our Senior Software Development function.\n\nReview our current pipeline of product and AI ideas to identify the projects with the clearest path to revenue, user success, or meaningful operational leverage.\n\nTake an existing prototype, stalled initiative, or high-priority business problem through the final stretch and into reliable production use.\n\nEstablish lightweight standards for project discovery, technical scoping, deployment, documentation, feedback, and outcome measurement.\n\nOnce You Get Your Footing\n\nOwn a portfolio of internal and customer-facing initiatives from business problem through measurable result.\n\nBuild reusable tools, integrations, and implementation patterns so each successful project makes the next one faster and more valuable.\n\nHelp determine when a customer need should remain a tailored solution and when it should become part of Wise Pelican’s core product.\n\nHelp shape and eventually scale the Forward Deployed Engineering function, including its goals, processes, responsibilities, and future hiring needs.\n\nWho Are You?\n\nYou have a strong software engineering foundation and evidence that you have shipped real, working software, beyond coursework, tutorials, or prototypes that have never met a paying user.\n\nYou are comfortable building production applications with Python, TypeScript, and React.\n\nYou understand full-stack development fundamentals, including APIs, databases, testing, debugging, deployment, authentication, and cloud-based systems.\n\nYou can independently work through technical problems and know when to ask for context, support, or a second opinion.\n\nYou can speak with customers, executives, developers, and nontechnical stakeholders without requiring everyone else to learn your language first.\n\nYou communicate progress, tradeoffs, risks, and changing expectations before they become surprises.\n\nYou enjoy understanding how a business works and can connect technical decisions to revenue, adoption, efficiency, risk, and customer outcomes.\n\nYou are comfortable beginning with an unclear problem, asking direct questions, organizing the moving pieces, and creating a reasonable path forward.\n\nYou use numerous AI development tools thoughtfully.\n\nYou want to build and deliver, not recommend what someone else should build.\n\nWhere Can You Easily Impress Us?\n\nYou have built or deployed production systems involving LLMs, AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluations, guardrails, or human-in-the-loop workflows.\n\nYou have worked directly with customers through implementation, solutions engineering, technical consulting, product development, or a similar role.\n\nYou have experience inside an early-stage or bootstrapped company where you had to operate without layers of process, specialized teams, or unlimited resources.\n\nYou have worked with marketing automation, CRMs, HubSpot, real estate technology, workflow automation, or data-heavy SaaS products.\n\nYou can show us a project where you identified the problem, built the solution, launched it, and learned whether it actually worked.\n\nWhat’s In It for You?\n\nCompensation: This role is currently benchmarked between $55,000 and $65,000 per year. Offered compensation will be based on relevant technical depth, demonstrated ability to ship production software, and readiness to independently own customer-facing deployments.\n\nSalary: $55,000 – $65,000 / yearOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":5914,"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":"Pakistan","iso":"PK","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Real Estate","Real Estate Brokerage"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T11:28:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":65000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wise-pelican-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wise-pelican-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T07:46:48Z","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":9763,"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":2785747},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2785747"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwise-pelican-senior-software-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%2Fwise-pelican-senior-software-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%2Fwise-pelican-senior-software-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/wise-pelican-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwise-pelican-senior-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3740508}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wisepelican.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3740508},"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.
