Teams at Alpaca

Build and scale global payments and treasury systems using resilient, event-driven, microservice-based architecture. Design and implement cloud-native services, client-facing APIs, distributed systems, payment rails, financial ledgers, and reconciliation solutions. Collaborate independently and across teams, troubleshoot complex issues, maintain high-quality tested code, and contribute to technical and product goal definition.

Command high-severity production incidents from declaration through mitigation, coordinating technical responders, severity decisions, escalations, stakeholder communications, regional handoffs, and post-incident follow-up. Maintain accurate incident timelines, ensure retrospectives and accountable action items, and improve response processes through automation. The role requires participation in a global 24x7 incident commander roster and familiarity with fintech and regulated API-driven platforms.

Design, implement, and maintain scalable backend systems supporting Alpaca’s financial ledger and brokerage infrastructure. Own high-visibility features from design through deployment, collaborate with finance, operations, product, and engineering stakeholders, and improve system health. Build performant, reliable, maintainable services using modern distributed systems technologies while ensuring the ledger remains a correct source of truth for account transactions, reporting, and compliance.
