Summary from the posting
We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical direction of our Margin & Risk team, part of Prime Engine. The team builds the systems that protect Alpaca, our partners, and their customers from financial exposure across every asset class the platform supports , equities, options, and crypto today, and new asset classes as the platform expands.
These systems calculate margin requirements, enforce real-time risk and exposure limits, manage margin calls through their full lifecycle, and automate operational workflows that were historically manual or split across fragmented services.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Alpaca's own career page.
