Company mission
To provide developers with the fundamental building blocks they need to create the future of technology without the hassle of managing blockchain infrastructure in-house.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience in modern full-stack software development (React, Typescript, Next.js, Node), with a strong emphasis on building user-facing applications and developer tools
- 1+ years in engineering management; proven success in building and leading high-performing full-stack or product engineering teams, ideally in a fast-paced startup environment
- A user-first mindset: passionate about simplifying complex workflows for developers and reducing time-to-launch
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment where priorities evolve rapidly
- Experience with blockchain technologies is a very strong plus
- Background in developer platforms, API products, or fintech/financial infrastructure preferred
- Know how to find the right balance between perfection and shipping quickly
- Curiosity on the leading edge - plays with crypto, the latest in AI, and pushes to unpack black boxes
- Excellent cross-functional communicator and collaborator
What the job involves
- Alchemy is the leading web3 development platform, powering millions of users and billions of dollars of transactions globally. Our Developer Experience (DevEx) team sits at the center of this mission: building the tools, docs, dashboards, and SDKs that make it simple for developers to launch and scale production-ready applications
- We’re looking for an Engineering Manager (EM) to lead a team of engineers dedicated to elevating the developer journey—from first touch in docs, through onboarding, to scaling enterprise-grade apps in production.
- You’ll own a critical part of Alchemy’s strategy: ensuring that developers building on our platform, particularly those in fintech and money-movement use cases, have a seamless, reliable, and secure experience
- Lead & Grow the Team: Build and mentor a high-performing team of engineers focused on Dev Tools and Developer Relations. Drive execution across multiple roadmap tracks while fostering a culture of simplicity, iteration, and developer empathy
- Shape the Developer Experience: Partner with Product, Design, and Security to continuously improve every surface developers touch—documentation, SDKs, dashboard flows, sample projects, observability tools, and onboarding paths
- Enterprise-Ready Foundations: Ensure the platform meets the needs of enterprise and financial app developers by delivering robust security, compliance, and management capabilities (e.g., role-based access control, API key scoping/rotation, audit logs, observability)
- Accelerate Developer Adoption: Drive projects that shorten time-to-value for developers: refreshed tutorials, streamlined onboarding, AI-assisted workflows, and clonable sample apps tailored to money-movement and smart wallet use cases
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate across Alchemy (Product, Security, Infra, Growth, Design) to set priorities, define standards, and align execution with company-wide goals for revenue and developer activation
- Raise product & design quality across dashboards, docs, and onboarding
- Deliver enterprise-grade features like RBAC, account activity logs, management APIs, and key rotation
- Invest in observability and reliability, ensuring developers can trust Alchemy for production workloads
- Expand education and adoption resources - guides, tutorials, productivity tools, and sample code for top use cases
Our take
Blockchain technology is a rapidly growing industry with many startups and established companies developing new applications that utilize it. However, many companies reinvent the wheel as they each attempt to build their own version of the blockchain software.
Alchemy offers a platform that simplifies the creation of blockchains and the launching of new nodes. It provides developers with “building blocks” that can be used to make the process more efficient. Alchemy is already working with multinational organizations like Meta, Adobe, and Splunk, and it has won many clients from their current top competitor, Infura.
The company has seen considerable growth and is now acquiring companies to improve its stack. It now serves over 10M end users and became a deca unicorn after attracting impressive funding in 2022. It continues to refine its platform to gain competitive edge, recently launching a transaction simulation product to help reduce the chances of transactions becoming susceptible to scams.
