Your Role:
As a part of the Global engineering team, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the systems and services that form the foundation of Alpaca and empower millions of users trading billions of dollars worth of assets.

The Japan team is building a modern ledger system (Securities backend system) localized for Japan (but scalable to global). The purpose is to maintain a complete and correct view of everything that has ever happened in every account. From a business perspective, the ledger provides a structured and organized system for recording and aggregating transactional data. We will build them with modern architecture. In Japan, many securities companies still use old-fashioned and traditional ledger systems, but the day may come when the modern system we create will replace it. The next product will support NISA, API trading, and global stocks.

For this role, we seek an experienced engineer who is committed to delivering defect-free solutions, has proven experience architecting and building at scale, and is not afraid of challenging conventions or voicing their opinions. In this role, you will have the autonomy to design and implement solutions to achieve defined goals while actively defining those goals in cooperation with a cross-functional team.
