The Advance team is a group of full stack engineers focused on making the experience of using Alloy more and more “advanced” over time. They do this by working on features that leverage our differentiated data set to provide our customers with optimizations of their risk policies, more insights into their data, and proactive alerting of previously unknown risks. The team works all across the Alloy platform, striving to improve the usability of our rules engine and end-to-end case management system. Advance is a highly product-oriented team working on the most promising areas of the Alloy platform, which involves collaborative work across various functions.

• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers to translate our product and technical vision into a concrete roadmap, guiding the team towards success.
• Architect, develop, test, and deploy significant customer-facing features and projects using cutting-edge tools and technologies.

We’re actually hiring for two new teammates at the Senior 1 & Senior 2 levels. There is some overlap in qualifications, given that we like to see technical leadership and expertise across senior levels in general. Ultimately, an offer and leveling will come down to depth of experience and interview performance.

We’re looking for:

• 5+ years (or for the Senior 2 role, 8+ years) of hands-on experience in developing production-ready software, demonstrating a proven track record of delivering robust and scalable solutions.
• Demonstrated expertise in steering both front-end and backend technical projects, prioritizing tasks, defining requirements, and facilitating productive discussions within the team to drive informed technical decisions.
• A collaborative mindset and experience in effectively leading engineering teams in collective pursuits, fostering an environment of cooperation and shared success.
• Strong ability to adapt swiftly to the evolving needs of our growing organization and dynamic product landscape, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.
• Proficiency in client-side technologies such as TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6/React), HTML/CSS, as well as server-side proficiency in Python (Django), enabling seamless development across the entire stack.
• Practical experience in managing relational databases, with a strong command over PostgreSQL and its intricacies, ensuring efficient data management and retrieval.

We're a lean team, so your impact will be felt immediately, and opportunities will grow as the company scales up. If this all sounds like a good fit for you, why not join us?
