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.

Alpaca is proudly backed by top-tier global investors, including Portage Ventures, Spark Capital, Tribe Capital, Social Leverage, Horizons Ventures, Unbound, SBI Group, Derayah Financial, Elefund, and Y Combinator.

Our Team Members:

We're a dynamic team of 230+ globally distributed members who thrive working from our favorite places around the world, with teammates spanning the USA, Canada, Japan, Hungary, Nigeria, Brazil, the UK, and beyond!

We're searching for passionate individuals eager to contribute to Alpaca's rapid growth. If you align with our core values - Stay Curious, Have Empathy, and Be Accountable - and are ready to make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply.

As a senior software engineer, you will help build and scale the systems and services that form the foundation of Alpaca and empower millions of users who are trading billions of dollars worth of assets.

The market data team is responsible for improving the overall architecture of Alpaca connected to data products such as stocks, options, crypto, and foreign exchange markets. Oversee their public API structure and documentation on both streaming and historical endpoints. The team is responsible for building a cohesive developer-first API and is tasked with planning, ideating, experimenting, and putting into production the new services, and libraries that overcome some of our greatest technical challenges as we continue to scale rapidly.

We are looking for senior or staff engineers who are keen on providing quality solutions, have great fundamentals, have proven experience building and architecting at scale, and are not afraid of challenging conventions. This demanding team also requires a deep understanding of POSIX-like operating systems, modern infrastructure, and orchestration practices.

Design highly scalable, mission-critical systems
Obsess over latency (every nanosecond counts)
Implement backend services and lead architecture where scalability and resilience matters
Maintain good software quality and test coverage
Participate in code reviews
Troubleshooting on incidents and reported bugs
You may be asked to be on-call to assist with engineering projects that are timely in nature

Who You Are (Must-Haves):

Experience with at least compiled imperative languages (e.g. Go, C, C++, Rust, etc.). Most of our critical services are written in Go
SQL or relational database skills
Familiarity with TCP/IP, and UDP networking
Proficient with Linux/BSD, and shell scripting
Excited about what we are building at Alpaca
Proven track record of architecting and leading medium-scale projects involving multiple teams
Experience with Kubernetes or other workload orchestration and scheduling systems (we primarily use Kubernetes via GKE)
Experience with major cloud platforms (we primarily use GCP)
A passion for financial markets

Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves):

Knowledge of microservice architectures
Knowledge of clean code principles
DevOps mindset is an asset
Cloud Networking experience (BGP, VPC peering)
Experience in building low-latency applications
Experience with distributed key-value stores
Experience with CI/CD
A passion for financial markets or the desire to learn
Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies
Experience with observability, tracing, continuous profiling
Experience with capacity planning and benchmarking
Knowledge of eBPF

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
