About Alembic

Alembic is a fast-growing software startup focused on building cutting-edge solutions that transform how businesses harness and leverage data. Your work will directly impact how major organizations quantify and optimize their marketing investments.

About the Role

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you'll be a key player in building the technology platform that delivers these insights, working with cutting-edge algorithms and composite AI solutions. You'll have significant influence over our technical direction while collaborating with a team backed by tech luminaries including WndrCo, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jensen Huang, and Joe Montana. This role offers the perfect balance of technical challenge and business impact in a fast-growing environment where your contributions will be visible from day one.

What You'll Do

1. Architect, design, and develop full-stack applications, ensuring scalability, security, and performance.
2. Guide technical decision-making and help define Alembic's engineering best practices.
3. Build and optimize frontend applications using modern frameworks.
4. Develop backend services and APIs using languages like Node.js or Python.
5. Design and manage databases and data-intensive applications.
6. Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a strong technical culture.
7. Contribute to hiring and shaping the engineering team as we scale.

What Will Help You Succeed

1. 10+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer, with deep expertise in both frontend and backend development.
2. Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks like React.
3. Proficiency in backend development using Node.js, Python, or Go.
4. Experience designing scalable architectures, including microservices, serverless, or event-driven systems.
5. Deep understanding of databases, query optimization, and data modeling (PostgreSQL and Elastic).
6. Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and DevOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines).
7. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate ambiguous startup environments.
8. Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally.

Nice-to-Haves:

1. Experience in AI/ML or working with data platforms.
2. Previous experience in high-growth startups.
3. Experience leading teams or projects in a fast-paced environment.

Why you might be excited about Alembic:

1. You want to build something that is both technologically challenging and solves a real customer need. You want a role with major upside that tackles a massive market opportunity.
2. You are a serial startup builder or want to learn more before becoming a founder yourself. Our team holds deep experience building and selling B2B marketing solutions that work.
3. You want to work where you can take a big swing at building something big while maximizing your personal growth.

Why you might not be excited:

1. If you only want to tell people what instead of building and coding alongside them — and on your own — then we're not the environment for you.
2. You prefer company practices with 100% built out process for every little detail.
3. You prefer static over dynamic. Projects, priorities, and roles will adapt to your skill set and your goals. Though we have a playbook for growth, we proudly remain an early stage startup.
