At ALT, we envision a world where anything is an investable asset. Using trading cards, we’re establishing a proof of concept to create financial products that traditional financial institutions don’t support or recognize as collateral.

To date, we’ve raised over $100 million from thought leaders at the intersection of culture, community, and capital. Some of our investors include Alexis Ohanian’s fund Seven Seven Six, the founders of Stripe, Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, BlackRock co-founder Sue Wagner, the co-founders of AngelList, First Round Capital, and BoxGroup. We’re also backed by professional athletes including Tom Brady, Candace Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Alex Morgan, Kevin Durant, and Marlon Humphrey.

ALT is a dedicated equal opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse workforce. We celebrate our differences and strive to create an inclusive environment for all. We are focused on fostering a culture of empowerment which starts with providing our employees with the resources needed to reach their full potential.

What we are looking for:

We're looking for product-oriented backend or full-stack engineers who are interested in making a big impact. The payments team is the backbone of the Alt platform, making transactions flow and investing in alternative assets possible. The team’s scope covers the infrastructure, user experience and integrations for all money movement at Alt. As we continue growing, we’re looking to make a number of substantial improvements to our systems including scale & reliability, increased payment options, and fraud mitigation. We give our engineers a lot of individual responsibility and autonomy, so your ability to make good trade-offs and exercise good judgment is essential.

What you bring to the table:

  • 5+ years of software development experience, preferably in a high growth startup environment
  • Excellent product instincts. You first think about users rather than the best technical solution
  • Comfortable working across the stack from infrastructure to frontend
  • You’re an excellent problem solver with strong ownership, and can ship features fast
  • Passion and ability to work well in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment
  • Experience programming in Python, Postgres, Javascript, AWS or similar technologies
  • Ability to pick up on new technologies very quickly
  • Experience with payments and distributed systems is a plus

What you will get from us:

  • You will be given resources to help grow your personal brand and to position yourself as a thought leader in areas relevant to Alt.
  • Ground floor opportunity as an early member of the Alt team; you’ll directly shape the direction of our company. The opportunities for growth are truly limitless.
  • An inclusive company culture that is being built intentionally to foster an environment that supports and engages talent in their current and future endeavors.
  • $200/month work-from-home stipend
  • $100/month wellness stipend
  • WeWork office Stipend
  • 401(k) retirement benefits
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Competitive healthcare benefits, including HSA, for you and your dependent(s)
Alt's compensation package includes a competitive base salary benchmarked against real-time market data, as well as equity for all full-time roles. We want all full-time employees to be invested in Alt and to be able to take advantage of that investment, so our equity grants include a 10-year exercise window. The base salary range for this role is: $165,000 - $200,000. Offers may vary from the amount listed based on geography, candidate experience and expertise, and other factors.
