Job description
Alloy Automation (YC W20) is the connectivity layer for companies building AI Agents. With our platform, companies can power their agents and products with 400+ ready-to-use connectors in minutes, not months. And our engineering team’s goal is to deliver an incredible experience for our customers and users, trusted by global leaders including Amazon, Mastercard, and UPS.
Here you’ll do the best work of your life and have a massive impact. Our Connectors Squad is the engine behind this mission - building and maintaining the integrations that allow agents to interface with the world’s most important applications. Tens of thousands of people rely on us for their day to day operations – you’ll have a key role in shaping that experience.
How you’ll make an impact here
- Build and scale our connector ecosystem, designing and implementing new integrations across APIs, SDKs, and protocols that power agentic workflows.
- Own end-to-end development for connectors, from architecture and data mapping to job scheduling, error handling, retries, and monitoring.
- Solve diverse engineering challenges from debugging complex API behaviors to designing infrastructure that abstracts away API quirks for customers.
- Collaborate across squads, working closely with platform, infrastructure, and product teams to make connectors more discoverable, performant, and developer-friendly.
- Improve internal tooling, contributing to frameworks and automation that help us ship new connectors faster and with fewer errors.
- Raise the bar, participating in code reviews, share knowledge, and mentor peers while continuously leveling up engineering best practices.
What you’ll bring to the team
- Over 5 years of relevant software engineering experience, and building web applications at scale
- Strong backend expertise with Node.js/TypeScript, REST APIs, and database design; experience with React is a plus.
- API-first mindset with deep understanding of authentication/authorization (OAuth2, API keys, SSO), schema design, and handling inconsistencies across third-party APIs.
- Production ownership with experience deploying, monitoring, and debugging services in production environments.
- Performance and reliability focus with strong debugging skills, ability to identify bottlenecks, and track record of improving system scalability.
- Curiosity and grit with enthusiasm for learning new APIs, frameworks, and solving problems no one’s solved before.
