Job Details

Alembic is where top engineers are solving marketing's hardest problem : proving what actually works. If you're looking for frontier technical challenges at an applied science company, this is the place.

At Alembic, we're not just building software, we're decoding the chaos of modern marketing. Join Alembic to build trusted systems that Fortune 100 companies use to make multimillion dollar decisions.

We're backed by leading tech luminaries including WndrCo (founded by DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg), Jensen Huang, Joe Montana, and many more.

About the Role - Senior Data Engineer

As a Senior Data Engineer at Alembic, you'll tackle some of the hardest technical challenges in marketing analytics while building systems that Fortune 100 companies trust for multimillion-dollar decisions. You'll design and build the data infrastructure that powers our breakthrough analytics platform, working with cutting-edge AI / ML algorithms and massive datasets in a fast-growing environment where your work directly impacts business outcomes.

The Technical Challenge

We're building a GPU-accelerated platform that has never been built before in analytics. This isn't LLM work - we've discovered something massive that's never been applied to this problem space before.

If you're the kind of engineer who gets excited about novel technical challenges that make industry veterans stop and say "wait, how did you do that?" - this is your opportunity to work on something truly groundbreaking.

What You'll Do

Design and build scalable data pipelines that process massive marketing datasets with sub-second latency requirements

Architect and implement data infrastructure that supports our breakthrough GPU-accelerated analytics platform

Optimize data storage and retrieval systems for complex analytical queries across terabytes of data

Collaborate closely with AI / ML teams to build data infrastructure that enables novel algorithmic approaches

Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a strong technical culture

Contribute to hiring and shaping the engineering team as we scale

Why You Might Be Excited About Alembic

Hard problems with real impact : You'll tackle the hardest challenges in marketing analytics while building systems that influence multimillion-dollar decisions at Fortune 100 companies

Technical autonomy : You want ownership over technical decisions and the freedom to solve complex problems your way

Cutting-edge technology : Work with advanced AI / ML algorithms, composite AI solutions, private NVIDIA DGX clusters, and the latest in data processing at scale

Elite team : Join top engineers who thrive on challenging problems and high-impact work

Startup upside : Early-stage equity opportunity with experienced leadership and proven product-market fit

Why You Might Not Be Excited

If you only want to tell people what to build instead of building and coding alongside them, we're not the environment for you

You prefer company practices with 100% built-out process for every detail

You prefer static over dynamic. Projects, priorities, and roles will adapt to your skill set and goals. Though we have real paying customers and a playbook for growth, we proudly remain an early-stage startup
