About the Role - Senior Backend Engineer

We’re hiring engineers passionate about building innovative tech in a human way. Your work will apply advanced terabyte-scale data analytics to uncover unique correlations, enabling our clients to maximize their marketing and social media efforts.

Tech Stack:

• Core: JavaScript, Typescript, React, Linux, Apache Druid, Postgres, NodeJS, Apollo Client / Server (GraphQL), AWS

• Secondary: Sequelize ORM, Bull, Celery, Python, Kafka, Docker, Ansible /Terraform

What you'll do:

• Architect and build scalable, secure, and efficient backend systems.

• Solve complex technical challenges and optimize performance.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver seamless user experiences.

• Partner with our stellar engineering team to architect, design, document, and build highly-scalable modular code.

• As a mentor, you’ll help upskill junior and mid-level developers, fostering an environment where we all grow.

Why you might be excited:

• 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.

• You are a serial startup builder or want to learn more before becoming a founder yourself. We have assembled a super team of leaders who have deep experience building and selling B2B marketing solutions that work.

• You prefer to work for a company who is on the path, but has not “made it” yet. We’re a well-positioned company on the come up. We’re prepared for whatever’s next and thus stable even through a choppy market.

• You want to work where you can take a big swing at building something big without excessive stress or burnout.

Why you might not be excited:

• If you only want to tell people <what to build> instead of building and coding alongside them — and on your own — then we’re not the environment for you.

• You prefer company practices with 100% built out process for every little detail.

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

What comes next?

We view hiring as a two-way conversation. We also believe speed is paramount in delivering a great candidate experience. Our process is not about whiteboarding or brain teasers. We focus more on getting to know who you are, what you want to do, and how you do your best work. We know you’re busy, so we like to move through it as quickly as you like, suited to your schedule.

Here is our streamlined four-step hiring process for this role:

1. Get to know you. We’ll learn about you and you’ll hear about the Alembic vision directly from our recruiting team, or from our founder and CEO, Tomas Puig.

2. Share what we’re building. You’ll meet our Chief Architect, John Adams, who will want to learn about your technical skills and interests.

3. Meet the team. You’ll meet more on the engineering team, like our CTO/COO, Lloyd Taylor, or a peer engineer, who can share more about Alembic and the role.

4. Offer Stage. Finally, we gather everything we’ve learned about you to make a swift decision. If you agree and we all believe you’re the best fit for our team, we’ll share a best offer and a preview of the journey ahead.

We’d love to share more with you. If you want to learn more, let us know of your interest on this page.
