About Alloy.ai
At Alloy.ai, we work with consumer goods companies that make the products we eat, wear, and use every day, as well as the ones we occasionally splurge on. We’re tackling a real and complex problem for them—managing supply and demand in the face of constantly changing customer behavior, highly complex supply chain networks, 40-year-old data standards and labor-intensive manual processes.
Alloy.ai is a fast-growing, well-funded startup with an expanding presence across the world. Our team hails from successful startups, leading tech companies and Fortune 100 enterprises. We believe deeply in fostering individual ownership, iterating to excellence, focusing on what matters, communicating openly & respectfully, and supporting one another.
We encourage people of all backgrounds to apply. Alloy.ai is committed to creating an inclusive culture, and we celebrate diversity of all kinds.
About The Role
At Alloy.ai, our computation engine is at the heart of many of our platform’s critical functions. It powers inventory simulations, recommendation systems, forecasting, and serves as the foundation for our general-purpose analytics platform, enabling our customers to make data-driven decisions at scale.
We're looking for backend engineers with a focus on our data platform and our computation engine backend. There are many exciting and complex challenges ranging from aggregating complex data sets, modelling the supply chain, to computing inventory recommendations and producing other actionable insights for our customers. Some of our customers sell hundreds of thousands of unique products across hundreds of thousands of unique locations, with more data coming in daily, so scalability is key.
If algorithms, simulations, query engines, performance, and scalability sound like areas you're curious to explore, we think you'll love it here!
About You
You’re a problem-solver who enjoys diving deep into algorithms, data structures, and software architecture. You have prior experience in designing systems and enjoy tackling complex problems with simple, elegant and scalable solutions.
You're highly collaborative and highly value transparency and open communication. You consider some of the key tools for an engineer to be code reviews, authoring design documents and reviewing those of others.
You're comfortable with multiple programming languages and paradigms and curious to learn more. You thrive in a flat organization, appreciate transparency and actively pursue new ideas.
Role is a hybrid role based in Washington, DC. Hybrid is defined by our company as 3+ days/week in the office when not on vacation.
