About the team

We're standing up a new function at Alloy: Forward Deployed Engineering. Our largest enterprise customers need a trusted technical partner with a strong point of view on how Alloy fits into their tech stack and fraud strategy. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be that partner - embedded with our most strategic accounts and owning the technical outcome end-to-end, with each deployment becoming the foundation for the next.

You'll be one of the first two engineers on this founding team. This is a software engineering role through and through - based within our Engineering org, with a scope that spans software, product, and solutions engineering. You won't just join this function - you'll define how it works.

Alloy operates in a hybrid-work environment. We look to foster collaboration and community by having our local employees onsite three days a week.

What you'll be doing

  • Architect and tune customer and channel-partner deployments end-to-end — API integrations, third-party data integrations, SDKs, and latency constraints.
  • Write production code across our stack: TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6/React), Python (Django), Node.js, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, and AWS.
  • Serve as Alloy's credible technical voice with customer engineering leadership, making architectural calls in real time.
  • Own the engineering track of QBRs for your accounts and serve in their on-call escalation path.
  • Turn your work into reusable platform primitives and docs, so each deployment makes the next one faster.

Who we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing production-ready software, with a proven track record of delivering robust, scalable solutions.
  • Experience in a customer-facing technical role, Forward Deployed Engineering, solutions engineering with deep technical ownership, or similar - where you were accountable to an external stakeholder, not just an internal roadmap.
  • Strong backend and API fluency, with the ability to read and write production code across services you don't own.
  • Sound architectural judgment under ambiguity: you can make and defend technical decisions in the room, with a customer watching.
  • A genuine pull toward customer-facing work - you find energy in solving a real customer's real problem, alongside their engineers.
  • A clear technical communicator who can explain a complex integration tradeoff to a bank's VP of Engineering and to an Alloy PM in the same afternoon.
  • Ability to travel on occasion to our NYC office, as well as client offices in the US.

Nice to have:

  • Experience at a company with a strong Forward Deployed Engineering culture (Palantir, Scale AI, Ramp, Plaid, Stripe, etc.).
  • Familiarity with identity, fraud, KYC/KYB, or financial services infrastructure.
  • Experience with SDK development or embedded front-end integrations.

We're a lean team, so your impact will be felt immediately, and opportunities will grow as the company scales up. If this all sounds like a good fit for you, why not join us?

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
