Senior Fullstack Engineer - Operational Automations

As an Senior Fullstack Engineer, you will embed directly within brokerage operations functions to systematically eliminate manual work and replace it with durable, auditable software systems. You start by immersing yourself in operational workflows: observing, documenting, and deeply understanding processes end-to-end before designing solutions. Every recurring manual process is treated as a system defect, and every fix you ship is measured by its real-world impact on efficiency and reliability. You will work closely with licensed brokerage staff, domain experts, and platform engineers to build automations and tooling that allow Alpaca's operations to scale globally without scaling headcount linearly. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable shadowing an operational process and architecting the backend service that replaces it. ## Who You Are (must-haves)

• Deep, hands-on expertise in Golang, including a strong command of its concurrency models (goroutines, channels), memory management, and standard library. - Proven track record of building user-facing features end-to-end with Typescript/React
• Proficient with SQL and relational databases, preferably PostgreSQL. - Demonstrated ability to reason about human workflows as systems, not just software services. - Experience with observability, tracing, continuous profiling
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to deconstruct complex requirements into clear technical components and excellent communication skills for working in a cross-functional environment. - High ownership mindset with bias toward durable, structural fixes over tactical patches.
