Full Stack Engineer

About Alpha

Alpha is building the simplest way for anyone to create AI agents that actually get work done. Our platform turns messy prompt chaining, data schemas, and multi-tool logic into a clean, no-code experience. We’re backed, funded, and racing toward our v1 launch. Join us on the ground floor and shape the architecture, the product, and the culture.

The Role

We’re hiring two versatile full-stack engineers. One will lean infra/back-end, the other front-end/LLM integration, but both will ship vertical slices end-to-end.

You will:

• Design and build the agent-execution runtime (LLMs, tools, schemas).
• Stand up secure VPC deployments with Docker, Terraform, and AWS or GCP.
• Build REST/GraphQL APIs, queues, Postgres/Redis layers, and observability.
• Create a React/Next.js visual workflow editor with drag-and-drop blocks.
• Build the Prompt Composer UI, live testing mode, and cost dashboard.
• Integrate native tools: search, browser, CRM, payments, messaging, and more.
• Ship fast—design, code, test, launch—and own quality (no separate QA team).
• Talk to early users and fold feedback into weekly releases.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–6 years building production web apps at startup pace.
• Strong TypeScript + Node.js or Python.
• Solid React/Next.js and modern state management.
• Comfort with AWS or GCP, Docker, and CI/CD.
• Bias for ownership from design to deploy.

Nice but not required: Terraform or CDK, IAM/VPC networking, vector DBs or RAG pipelines, LLM API experience, React-Flow or other canvas libs, GraphQL or event streaming, prior dev-platform work.

We don’t expect every box ticked—show us you learn fast and ship.

What You’ll Get

• Meaningful equity at the earliest stage.

• A green-field codebase you can architect the right way.

• Direct access to the founder—instant decisions, no red tape.

• Real customers from day one; your code goes live, not to backlog.

• Stipend for hardware, LLM credits, and professional growth.

Come build the future of work—where AI agents handle the busywork and people do the thinking.

Technical Leadership: Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of engineers to deliver high-

quality software solutions. Provide technical guidance and support to team members,ensuring adherence to coding standards and best practices.

• Full Stack Development: Hands-on coding in ReactJS, Golang, or Java to contribute

directly to project deliverables. Lead by example, demonstrating best practices in coding,

design, and testing.

• Micro services and Cloud-Native Architecture: Design, implement, and maintain

microservices architecture for scalable and resilient applications. Leverage cloud-native

technologies and principles to build robust and efficient systems.

• Squad Management: Independently manage engineering squads, ensuring effective

collaboration and delivery of project goals. Foster a positive and collaborative team

culture, encouraging innovation and continuous improvement.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with product managers, UX/UI designers,

and other stakeholders to define project requirements and priorities. Ensure alignment

between technical solutions and business objectives.

• Technology Stack Expertise: Stay updated on industry trends and emerging

technologies. Evaluate and introduce new technologies/tools to enhance the

development process.
