Alliance - Software Engineer (Full Stack)

**Compensation:** $180k\-$260k base \+ 0\.1%\-0\.4% equity (depending on seniority) Alliance is the leading accelerator for crypto founders. Since 2020 we’ve backed 300\+ startups (Pump, Synthetix, Pendle, Believe, and many more), now collectively valued at $10B\+. We’re hiring a **Software Engineer** to join our in\-house engineering team. You’ll report directly to Carter (CTO) and will be responsible for owning features from the requirements definition stage to production. **What You'll Do** Own products end\-to\-end: discovery definition design/UX implementation launch* 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: doesn’t matter how important you were in past organizations; at Alliance we’re 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 can’t relocate to NYC. This is non\-negotiable: our founders are here, and so are we. **Why join us** * Work with the most ambitious founders in crypto (and AI). Learn firsthand from hundreds of startups succeeding – or failing. * Join a small, high\-trust, high\-performance team with outsized impact. We’re ex\-Meta, WhatsApp, Coinbase, YC, and have collectively founded multiple venture\-backed startups. * We’re backed by S\-tier investors including Initialized Capital, Founders Fund, Multicoin, and Dragonfly, along with angels such as Balaji Srinivasan (ex\-Coinbase CTO), Kevin Weil (CPO at OpenAI), Kevin Lin (Twitch co\-founder), and Jeremy Allaire (Circle CEO), among many others. * Direct ownership and visibility: your work shapes how the next generation of founders discovers Alliance. * Career accelerator: this role sets you up, experience\- and network\-wise, for any high\-impact path in crypto/AI – at startups, venture firms, or your own company. * Alliance startups are reinventing industries – from media to payments – and improving the lives of everyday people. You’ll have a front\-row seat as they change the world. **What we’re 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).
