We are looking for proactive, results-driven individuals to join our dynamic team.\nThe Senior Product Engineer owns technically complex product initiatives from problem definition through release. You'll have the accountability of a product owner (you own the outcome, the scope decisions, and getting it across the finish line to customer success and marketing) along with the engineering depth to design and build much of the solution yourself.\nThis is not a traditional product owner role and not a traditional engineering role. A product owner defines what should be built and hands it off. Our engineering team owns the platform: the frameworks, components, security, performance, and delivery standards that keep our application consistent. A Product Engineer builds on that foundation to deliver usable features quickly. You'll take an ambiguous problem, understand the domain and the users, make sound decisions about application logic and data flow, and carry it from early prototype to beta to full release.\nThis role sits on the product team and reports to the CTO. Today, the CTO sets priorities and assigns initiatives across this role and our product owner. You'll be assigned initiatives where a handoff between a product owner and an engineer would lose too much in translation: complex workflow-driven features, rapid prototyping, AI integrations, and UI overhauls that require deep knowledge of how the application works underneath.\nRequirements\nResponsibilities:\nDeliver product initiatives\nTake high-ambiguity projects from discovery through release, including scoping, technical design, implementation, QA coordination, rollout, handoff to customer success and marketing, and post-launch iteration.\nTurn early ideas into working prototypes quickly, test them with real users, and carry the strongest ones through beta to full release.\nSet clear acceptance criteria and success metrics, instrument features with product analytics, and use the data to decide what to improve next.\nBuild complex, user-facing features\nDesign and deliver workflow-driven, multi-step features with state, rules, and edge cases, such as lien intake, case status progression, negotiation tracking, and approval flows, where the logic matters as much as the interface.\nIdentify where AI can meaningfully reduce manual work (document processing, intake automation, data extraction, summarization) and turn those ideas into reliable, production-grade features with appropriate human review and fallbacks.\nRework confusing or outdated screens into clear, consistent experiences, partnering with product design and using the established design system and component framework rather than reinventing them.\nBuild features hands-on within the engineering team's frameworks and standards. Bring in engineers for larger pieces of work, such as significant backend changes, and take part in architectural decisions.\nPartner across the business and team\nWork directly with lien negotiators, customer success, support, and law firm users to understand the real problem, then make informed tradeoffs on scope, complexity, and timeline.\nBring user data and findings into roadmap and prioritization discussions.\nRaise the bar on how we build. Model a fast, pragmatic, user-centered approach to delivery, and share what you learn with the product and engineering teams.\nQualifications:\n5+ years of experience in software engineering, with meaningful time spent building user-facing applications (frontend, full-stack, or UI engineering backgrounds are a strong fit)\nDemonstrated ownership of features or projects from concept to production, beyond executing predefined tickets\nExperience working directly with users or business stakeholders to define requirements, and keeping those relationships strong through delivery\nStrong understanding of application design: data models, state management, business logic, APIs, and how frontend and backend fit together\nProduct instincts: you ask \"why\" before \"how,\" notice when a requirement doesn't match the user's actual problem, and are comfortable cutting scope to ship something valuable\nAbility to work through ambiguity and make decisions with incomplete information\nClear written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical audiences, including explaining engineering complexity in plain terms to stakeholders\nHands-on experience with a modern web stack (Python/Django and a modern JavaScript framework preferred)\nExperience building or integrating LLM-powered features (prompt design, structured outputs, evaluation, document processing)\nFamiliarity with product analytics tools (e.g., PostHog), project tracking tools like Jira/Confluence, and cloud platforms like AWS\nAbility to work on-site at least three days per week (60%) in our Franklin, TN office\nNice to Have\nExperience in a product owner, product manager, or technical lead capacity\nBackground in workflow-heavy B2B software, legal tech, healthcare, insurance, or claims processing\nExperience integrating with third-party platforms such as Salesforce or legal case management systems like Filevine\nBenefits\nPrivate Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)\nCompany HSA contributions for HDHP participants\nFlexible Spending Accounts (Health & Dependent Care)\nCompany-Paid Short-Term Disability Coverage\nVoluntary Long-Term Disability, Life, AD&D, and Supplemental Coverage Options\n401(k) Plan with Company Match\nPaid Time Off (Vacation, Sick Time & 10 paid Holidays)\nParental Leave\nPay Disclosure: The total base salary range for this role is $126,000 - $171,000 annually, with opportunity for a quarterly discretionary bonus. Final compensation will be determined based on skills and experience.\nWork Authorization: Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer-sponsored visa support now or in the future.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5984,"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":["Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Legal Services","Legal Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T18:34:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":80,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.847,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":11,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":171000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zipliens-senior-product-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zipliens-senior-product-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T06:39:00Z","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":10368,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":99975},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=99975"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzipliens-senior-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%2Fzipliens-senior-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%2Fzipliens-senior-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/zipliens-senior-product-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzipliens-senior-product-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3413312}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"zipliens.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3413312},"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.
