Full Job Description
Compensation: $180k-$260k base + 0.1%-0.4% equity (depending on seniority)

We9re hiring a Software Engineer to join our in-house engineering team. You9ll report directly to Carter (CTO) and will be responsible for owning features from the requirements definition stage to production.

What You9ll Do
  • Own products end-to-end: discovery 10 definition 10 design/UX 10 implementation 10 launch 10 iteration.
  • Write production-grade TypeScript across the stack (React/Next.js on the front-end; Node.js on the back-end) while following best practices.
  • Build and maintain internal tools that make our team faster.
  • Ship features across our external sites and webapps, including Space - our founder portal - and public marketing surfaces.
  • Craft polished UIs with React and our internal component library; contribute components and patterns back to the library.
  • Integrate third-party APIs (auth, payments, email) and own data models, caching, and performance.
  • Raise the bar on engineering quality: code reviews, CI/CD, reliability, and accessibility.

Why NOT join us
  • Not willing to get hands dirty: doesn9t matter how important you were in past organizations; at Alliance we9re all builders, not managers (even though many of us were managers in past lives).
  • Prioritizing work/life balance: this role demands focus, hunger, and a career-defining level of commitment. You must be locked in.
  • Low agency: if you need someone else to set your priorities or keep you on track, you will fail.
  • You can9t relocate to NYC. This is non-negotiable: our founders are here, and so are we.

What we9re looking for
  • Product-minded builder who can turn ambiguous problems into shipped software without a dedicated PM or designer.
  • Deep experience with TypeScript, React, and Node.js; familiarity with Next.js and a modern database (e.g., Postgres/Prisma) is a plus.
  • Taste for UX/UI and the ability to sketch flows or lightweight wireframes before coding.
  • Hands-on IC orientation with a strong ownership bias: you set priorities, move fast, and sweat details.
  • Extremely high-agency, entrepreneurial, self-driven.
  • Comfortable using modern AI tools to move faster.
  • NYC-based or willing to relocate (non-negotiable).
