Why join us?
We are well funded by VC's such as First Round Capital, Box Group, SV Angel in addition to the founders of Stripe, Blackrock and Coinbase.
We have the right team in place, led by the founder of Lob.com and powered by early engineers and product people from companies who that have successfully scaled before like Opendoor, Flexport, and Branch Metrics.
The market we are going after is massive and is at a turning point. Alternative assets are right where the stock market was in the late 70s/early 80s. They are increasing in demand but lack the infrastructure to support them.
Engineering at Alt
We are really early on and are in full-on build mode. Our engineering team structure is flat and we all work together with a common mission of getting our products out the door. We are completely remote at the moment, so we stay in close contact though three scheduled weekly syncs, ah hoc zoom meetings, slack communication, and pair programming. We work on a weekly sprint schedule, continuously release multiple times a day, take testing and PR reviews seriously.
One of our goals is create the foundation and source of truth for the alternative asset industry and this means gathering a lot of data. Our data challenges span from sourcing, scraping, refreshing, cleaning, and standardizing data from a variety of different sources of asset and transaction data. We are building a set of models to take this data and generate accurate values for these assets.
On the product side, we building out a platform for transacting, researching, insuring, and securitizing alternative assets. We are just getting starting on building out most of this infrastructure.
You would get to work on our data pipelines for gathering, standardizing, and refreshing asset and transaction data. You'd be working with tools like python and airflow to pull data from a variety of sources and making if useful for our customers and our ML pipelines.
You would get to work on building out a first of it's kind alternative asset exchange. What makes our exchange different is our distributed vault. We are taking custody of the assets on our platform in order to increase fluidity in the exchange.
You would get to build out our mobile app for transacting, researching, insuring, and securing alternative assets. We anticipate mobile being a big focus for us and you would get to take full ownership of building this our.
