Senior Software Engineer – Agent Developer Platform

Описание

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build the developer platform that agents and partners use to integrate and build on. You will evolve Alpaca’s MCP servers, tools, and skills, and build the APIs behind them. This is a hands-on role where you will define the architecture, lead through code, design reviews, and mentorship, and ship the first version.

Responsibilities

• Design and build Alpaca’s agent-facing developer platform: MCP servers, tools, skills, and the APIs behind them
• Evolve that platform as the MCP protocol and connector, plugin, and skill standards change
• Build new APIs that make trading and account capabilities available to apps and agents
• Decide which components the platform renders, so developers and partners build apps faster from shared building blocks
• Keep Alpaca’s execution model current with the MCP protocol and with connector, plugin, and skill standards, and translate what changes into the application architecture of the developer platform
• Own production reliability and quality for the services you build
• Mentor engineers and raise the quality of design and implementation in this area

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with ownership of production systems that other developers use
• Shipped a developer-facing API, SDK, or platform as a primary contributor
• Enough MCP architecture to work with stateless and stateful behavior, and experience building to MCP, or to connector, plugin, or skill standards, as they have changed in production
• Strong API design, including schemas, compatibility, and responses other developers can rely on
• Proficiency in Python or TypeScript, and a willingness to work primarily in Go
• Strong architectural judgment, with a record of shipping while requirements are still being defined
• Clear communication with engineers, product, compliance, and risk partners

Nice to have

• Experience shipping developer-facing tools, SDKs, or MCP servers
• Experience building agents with a framework such as LangChain
• Experience or understanding of financial markets
• Production experience with Go
• Experience working at a startup
• Experience working remotely

We offer

• Competitive Salary & Stock Options
• Health Benefits
• New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
• Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card
