Summary from the posting
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Platform team, you will own the technical direction of Alpaca's streaming platform - our Redpanda-based event backbone and the user-facing streaming infrastructure. Platform also owns Authentication, Developer Experience and QA, and AI-Native Engineering. Streaming is roughly two-thirds of the job and where we expect you to become the deepest engineer in the company; across the other three you review the designs, hold an informed opinion, and lead the work where they meet streaming.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Alpaca's own career page.
