Alloy is looking to hire a front end developer to help our small engineering team create a great product and engineering culture. We're a small team(6 total, 4 engineers) so we're looking for someone who loves to take initiative and can bring solid real world experience to the table.
Who we are
Alloy is an API to collect and manage customer data from many different sources. We help companies in financial services or other regulated industries safely onboard more“good" customers without introducing any more fraud into their systems. We connect many data sources used for identity verification into a rules engine, allowing a"waterfall" of information through a series of checks across different service providers.
The current team consists of six - @Tommy Nicholas(CEO),@Laura Spiekerman(CRO),@Charles Hearn(CTO),@Peter Hanneman(Lead Architect), @Scott Clark(Lead Front End Engineer), and Jeff Csicsek(Backend Developer). Most of the team works in Union Square in Manhattan while Laura works remotely from San Francisco.We're nice people. We're also well funded(18+ months of runway) and post-revenue so your paychecks won't bounce.
As we build out our team, we're looking to diversify in terms of people, thought, and perspective. We welcome candidates from all genders, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds.
What you will do
Own our business-facing application. This is where our customers can see all their data, can build workflows for our APIs, and manage identity data over time. This is the only piece of our product that you can"see", so it's important we make it something our customers will love.
Write good code
We value the end result, but we value code quality as well. Our dashboardsare currently written in Python/Django and React, but we're open to whatever gets the job done. Read+About Our Stack for more information.
Own the User Experience. Our ideal candidate can write good HTML/CSS/Javascript to build features, but also knows how to build great user experiences from a thoughtful and empathetic place. We'll help you learn about our users and you'll bring real world UX/UI experience.
