About this role

Join Alpaca as a Senior Software Engineer on the Clearing team, working on essential systems for a self-clearing broker-dealer. Contribute to innovative financial solutions in a dynamic, remote environment.

Description

Alpaca is a US-headquartered self-clearing broker-dealer and brokerage infrastructure for stocks, ETFs, options, crypto, fixed income, 24/5 trading, and more. Our recent Series D funding round brought our total investment to over $320 million, fueling our ambitious vision.

Amongst our subsidiaries, Alpaca is a licensed financial services company, serving hundreds of financial institutions across 40 countries with our institutional-grade APIs. This includes broker-dealers, investment advisors, wealth managers, hedge funds, and crypto exchanges, totaling over 9 million brokerage accounts.

Our global team is a diverse group of experienced engineers, traders, and brokerage professionals who are working to achieve our mission of opening financial services to everyone on the planet. We're deeply committed to open-source contributions and fostering a vibrant community, continuously enhancing our award-winning, developer-friendly API and the robust infrastructure behind it.

Responsibilities

Your Role:

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Clearing team you’ll work on what happens after the trade is made. Most of the work we do is not user facing but is very much essential to the day to day operations of a Broker Dealer company.
  • Own projects from ideation to deployment, cutting through ambiguity to build what’s necessary, not just what’s asked for.
  • Design and build new systems that let us enable new products for the company or unlock more revenue.
  • Refine our existing systems. They’re not perfect and will never be, but we believe in improving them as long as the outcome is meaningful and tangible.
  • Learn about things you never knew existed but are instrumental in keeping the financial markets healthy and functioning.
  • Participate in our on-call rotation to ensure our systems are in tip-top shape.
Requirements

Who You Are (Must-Haves):

  • You understand that we’re working on systems people entrust with their hard earned money and you take that very seriously.
  • You are deeply interested in how traditional financial markets work.
  • You can take the lead on a project: we’ll describe what we’re trying to fix or build, who to reach out to if you need help, and you’ll handle the rest.
  • You take responsibility for the work you do personally, and also collectively, as a team.
  • You understand which design choices matter and which ones can be easily adjusted once we learn more about how the world truly works.
  • You have experience working at startups and know that not everything is perfect and you’re the one who helps us trend towards that goal.
  • You have good foundational knowledge of how computers work, how the internet works, how databases work, how distributed systems behave and misbehave, etc.
  • You’re productive with the following technologies: Go, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes.
  • You have 5+ years of hands-on experience building reliable and distributed systems.
  • You can design good (RESTful) APIs and can spot bad ones.
Conditions & Benefits

How We Take Care of You:

  • Competitive Salary & Stock Options.
  • Health Benefits.
  • New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500.
  • Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card.
