Why you might be excited about Alembic:

• 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 earn growth stage experience 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 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:

• 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.

At Alembic diversity, equity, and inclusion are the core of who we are.

Our commitment to these values is unwavering, across all of our work around the world. They are central to our mission and to our impact. We know that having varied perspectives helps generate better ideas to solve the complex problems of a changing and increasingly diverse world. Further, Alembic believes that diversity and inclusion are an advantage to our business and our team. This commitment informs all our decisions, solutions, and customer interactions.
