Senior Back End Engineer
Alloy is where you belong!
We’re the leading provider of digital identity management and support innovative FinTech companies, and top tier banks to manage KYC, AML, and other components of client onboarding. Alloy’s single API enables its clients to access over 50 third party data sources in real-time to improve decision-making and streamline client experiences. We're backed by venture capital firms that have taken countless companies to IPO like Bessemer Venture Partners, Primary Venture Partners, Eniac Ventures, and others and well positioned to bring on incredibly talented individuals to help take us to the next level!
The Role
Alloy's product can be roughly divided into two sides—a Python Django web app and a Node.js API. We're looking for help maintaining and building out features for the latter (and really the former, too, but that's a different job, and if that sounds fun then you should talk to my colleague Scott).
- Create new API features!
- Work with customers and the business side of the house to help design and build new features!
- Build new integrations with third-party data sources!
- Have you integrated with the APIs of all three major credit bureaus? I have!
- Bugfixes!
- What went wrong? How can we make sure it never happens again? We live for the root-cause analysis after getting things back up and running for our customers as soon as possible!
- It's a small team—the definition of the role is somewhat flexible and will grow to reflect your own strengths and interests!
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years real-world experience
- While we like to think of ourselves as "platform-agnostic" in our hiring process, realistically it helps to have experience with our tech stack, including:
- Node.js (the language you'll be working in)
- Experience working with and integrating third-party APIs
- SQL (Postgres but it's really all the same at the end of the day)
- Git or a similar version control system
- AWS (we do have a dedicated DevOps person but it's good to at least have a passing knowledge of how your code will be running in production)
- Know your way around a command line
- Teamwork experience!
- We're open to people whose experience is mainly on personal projects and/or contracting but we'd really like someone who has experience working with a team
- College degree in computer science is helpful, but not necessary (my boss has a degree in history or something and he's doing just fine)
