About The Position

Alchemy is the Web3 infrastructure and developer platform that powers millions of users and the world’s most innovative blockchain applications. From enabling $1+ trillion in financial transactions worldwide to scaling L2s and enabling DeFi, Alchemy provides the infrastructure and tools developers need to build reliable, scalable, and accessible experiences. Trusted by companies like JPMorgan, Stripe, Visa, Franklin Templeton, Nike, and backed by a16z, Coatue, Silver Lake, Lightspeed, and Stanford University, Alchemy is building the foundational layer for a decentralized and AI-enabled Web3 ecosystem. For more information, visit alchemy.com. We are hiring a software engineer on the Developer Experience team. You will own projects from the first problem statement through production, and measure whether they worked. The team owns how developers discover, adopt, and operate Alchemy: the dashboard, APIs, SDKs, CLI, and MCP server that sit between our infrastructure and the people building on it. A growing share of those users are coding agents, so we design for both. Recent work spans enterprise controls, management APIs, developer observability, onboarding, and self-serve growth. Ahead of us is the shift to agents that discover tools, write code, pay for services with x402, and operate onchain infrastructure on their own.

Requirements

TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, Temporal, Kafka, AWS, and Kubernetes stack experience.
Experience with agent-native developer tools: CLI, SDKs, MCP server, x402 payments, and Agent Wallets.
Experience with enterprise capabilities for teams running production traffic: organizations, roles, SSO, key management, audit history, and spend controls.
Experience with public and management APIs for usage, billing, apps, and teams.
Experience with developer observability and product quality: usage analytics, request logs, alerts, and the reliability of the surfaces developers use every day.
Ability to scope, design, and ship a project across APIs, backend services, and dashboard or CLI.
Ability to join on-call and handle incidents without escalation.
Ability to ship launches with alerts, a runbook, and a rollback plan.
Ability to move metrics such as feature adoption, free-to-paid upgrades, time to first API call, or support tickets.
Ability to make sound technical decisions, collaborate across functions, and improve code and design quality.
Ability to propose what the team should build next, backed by usage data and conversations with developers.
