Alliance - Software Engineer (Full Stack)

Compensation

$180k-$260k base + 0.1%-0.4% equity (depending on seniority)

About Alliance

Alliance is the leading accelerator for crypto founders. Since 2020 we’ve backed 300+ startups (Pump, Synthetix, Pendle, Believe, and many more), now collectively valued at $10B+. We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join our in-house engineering team.

What You'll Do

• Own products end-to-end: discovery → definition → design/UX → implementation → launch → iteration.
• Write production-grade TypeScript across the stack (React/).

Why NOT join us

• Not willing to get hands dirty: doesn’t matter how important you were in past organizations; at Alliance we’re all builders, not managers (even though many of us were managers in past lives).
• Prioritizing work/life balance: this role demands focus, hunger, and a career-defining level of commitment. You must be locked in.
• Low agency: if you need someone else to set your priorities or keep you on track, you will fail.
• You can’t relocate to NYC. This is non-negotiable: our founders are here, and so are we.

Why join us

• Work with the most ambitious founders in crypto (and AI). Learn firsthand from hundreds of startups succeeding – or failing.
• Join a small, high-trust, high-performance team with outsized impact. We’re ex-Meta, WhatsApp, Coinbase, YC, and have collectively founded multiple venture-backed startups.
• We’re backed by S-tier investors including Initialized Capital, Founders Fund, Multicoin, and Dragonfly, along with angels such as Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase CTO), Kevin Weil (CPO at OpenAI), Kevin Lin (Twitch co-founder), and Jeremy Allaire (Circle CEO), among many others.
• Direct ownership and visibility: your work shapes how the next generation of founders discovers Alliance.
• Career accelerator: this role sets you up, experience- and network-wise, for any high-impact path in crypto/AI – at startups, venture firms, or your own company.
• Alliance startups are reinventing industries – from media to payments – and improving the lives of everyday people. You’ll have a front-row seat as they change the world.
