The Build team owns the core logic of Alloy’s decisioning platform. We create tools to allow our customers to build out their policies using our flexible decisioning engine in a way that supports a wide range of use cases, from the simplest ones to the most complex. In Build, we focus on unlocking new functionalities for our customers, ensuring that our policy-building platform is both robust and easy to use, and continuously improving the experience of building and maintaining our clients’ unique policies in Alloy.

Alloy operates in a hybrid-work environment. We look to foster collaboration and community by having our local employees onsite twice a week, and remote employees onsite once a quarter.

The Engineering Manager's responsibility is primarily their team. They need to be able to balance their three key responsibilities: recruiting and hiring great people, developing and mentoring each person that reports to them, and assisting their team to build and ship the best product by whatever means possible.

• Create, track, and manage our engineering team's metrics and KPIs - think Accelerate's "Four Key Metrics"
• Hold weekly 1:1's and support the professional development of team members
• Support the happiness and productivity of the team alongside our values: to collaborate, be bold, get scrappy, and celebrate our differences.
• Drive code review, QA, release, and continuous deployment processes
• Manage agile projects in conjunction with our Senior Leadership Team to improve the platform our product is built on
• Communicate technical and product decisions to the right people, resolve blocking issues, and keep our development machine humming
• Embody technical ownership and spread that through your team to ship great features that everyone can be proud of
• Improve the quality, security, and performance of the product through the work your team does and how you prioritize work that isn't directly client-facing

  • Ability to give thorough code reviews and help engineers solve bugs
  • Experience with AWS infrastructure
  • Experience with highly scalable and highly available application architectures
• Experience recruiting and hiring
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
