Who We Are:

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, totalling 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.

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.

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.

Your Role:

As a Senior Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the systems and services that form Alpaca's foundation and empower millions of users who trade billions of dollars worth of assets.

Collaborate with tech leads in other regions both synchronously and asynchronously, using Slack and occasional meetings outside of regular working hours to align with global teams.
Troubleshoot incidents and reported bugs to maintain system integrity and performance.
Thrive in a global environment, effectively navigating regulatory requirements and building scalable solutions to support Alpaca's international growth.
You may be asked to be on-call to assist with timely engineering projects.

Familiarity with regulatory compliance requirements in financial markets.
Proficiency in Go or similar backend languages, with expertise in designing robust and efficient system architectures.
Experience working with financial APIs, market data integrations, and trade settlement processes.
Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with global teams, local regulators, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
Strong computer science fundamentals and proven software engineering architecture experience
Ability to work independently in a fully remote, globally distributed team, and under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
Strategic thinking and the ability to translate technical concepts into business strategies.
Experience with domain-driven design and event-driven design.
Strong problem-solving skills paired with a proactive mindset.
Ability to act as incident commander and lead and troubleshoot incidents or bugs with authority.

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