Apply NowAbout Alphaworks
The Alphaworks mission is to empower passionate communities to become owners in the companies they love. Our thesis is that over time, this new kind of community owned business will lead to more profitable and lasting organizations.
We’re a small, passionate team of people who all work out of the betaworks studio in Meatpacking and wear multiple hats. Since Alphaworks is a super early startup, every day is different, and we’re learning new things all the time. We’re looking for very smart, motivated, hard working people to join our team and help us change the future of investing.
What we’re looking for
Our CEO has a finance (meaning very non-technical) background. This means that you’ll have a lot of freedom and responsibility in the technical decisions you make for the company. Our ideal candidate will find this environment invigorating.
Your approach:
- You relish in figuring out ways to surprise and delight as part of an integrated product services team
- Creative problem solving is in your DNA: you are good at brainstorming technical solutions with non-technical people
- You understand the difference between prototyping and writing scalable code and are comfortable with the trade-offs
- You can work in and maintain an established code base while implementing new tools and offerings
- You thrive in an intense, loosely structured, fast-paced startup where we are trying new things every day
- You have a can-do attitude, positive outlook and great sense of humor
In terms of skills and qualifications, you should:
- be really, really smart
- have solid experience building production level systems in Python / Flask / MySQL, particularly running on AWS
- be familiar with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, SASS, JavaScript)
- have experience working in regulated industries where data confidentiality is critical
- ideally, have some financial services experience
