Alpha Hub is building an AI-powered platform for private capital markets. There is still significant room to shape our architecture, engineering culture, and product direction.

We're looking for a versatile Full Stack Engineering Lead who wants to help build the platform and guide the team building it.

*Role overview *

You will write and review production code across the frontend and backend while leading technical delivery, architecture, and mentorship across the engineering team. This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable moving between implementation, product questions, system design, APIs, databases, and production delivery—and helping other developers do their best work.

The initial six-month term is compensated through common shares issued monthly in lieu of cash salary, based on a company valuation of $26 million. After six months, there may be an opportunity to transition to a compensation structure that includes salary, bonus, and equity, subject to performance, company needs, and successful fundraising.This transition is not guaranteed. We understand that's not a conventional arrangement, and it won't be the right fit for everyone. We're looking for people who value ownership, impact, and the opportunity to help shape a company from an early stage. If you're considering the role, we encourage you to review the materials linked in the career site and reach out if you have any questions.**

What you'll do

Build, test, and maintain core platform functionality across the frontend and backend, contributing production code regularly.
Own technical direction and evolve platform architecture, balancing immediate product needs with long-term maintainability, reliability, and scale.
Design and improve APIs, data models, search and matching capabilities, and asynchronous workflows, maintaining data consistency across services and integrations.
Mentor all developers on the engineering team through practical guidance and knowledge sharing, and conduct peer code reviews to improve quality, consistency, and maintainability.
Establish and uphold coding standards and engineering practices that support code quality, automated testing, security, and clear technical documentation.
Integrate AI-powered capabilities into reliable user-facing product experiences.
Work directly with product and leadership to evaluate tradeoffs, break complex initiatives into achievable delivery plans, and communicate technical risks.
Guide technical delivery, remove blockers, and prioritize technical debt alongside product development.
Strengthen production readiness through reliable deployment practices, monitoring, alerting, and incident resolution.

What we're looking for

Hands-on experience delivering and supporting full-stack web applications in production environments.
Ability to work across modern frontend development, APIs, databases, backend services, and third-party integrations.
Practical experience with our core stack—TypeScript, Node.js, Express, React, Next.js, and MongoDB—including designing and integrating REST APIs; familiarity with Tailwind CSS, Docker, Azure, and Kubernetes.
Experience leading technical delivery and mentoring developers while remaining actively involved in implementation.
Experience designing and evolving application architecture, including service boundaries, data models, API contracts, and asynchronous processing.
Understanding of search indexes, caching, and data consistency across connected systems.
Practical experience with automated testing, CI/CD, production monitoring, and secure application design.
Sound technical judgment, including knowing when to introduce new infrastructure or abstractions and when to keep the solution simple.
Strong problem-solving, communication, and ownership in ambiguous technical environments.

*Behind every application is a person—and behind our hiring process are people, too, not AI filter! *Due to the high volume of applications, our team cannot respond individually to everyone. We will contact only candidates whose experience and skills closely match the role.
Only applications submitted through our careers site will be reviewed and considered. Please do not contact team members via LinkedIn to submit an application or request updates.
