Наша компания

We invite people of all backgrounds ( We have engineers who learnt coding much later in life, who learnt coding on the side, we have engineers who are still in school and we also have engineers who went to the top schools (CMU, Stanford, UIUC, UPenn, Oxford, NUS, Cornell), all are welcome if one comes in with a curious mind and an infectious work ethic.

Чем предстоит заниматься

We love engineers who love solving new problems every single day

Data Egress - How does one transport 100s of TBs of data around the world without breaking the piggybank? (

Handle high traffic - How can we support the biggest applications in this industry and allow handle 100,000 QPS at peak traffic and not go down? (

Botnets - This industry is in its early days, how does one catch botnets based on their behavioral patterns? (

Fraud (Sybil) Detection - Is it possible to transfer the same fraud detection heuristics into this blockchain world? (

Who is real? - What constitutes meaningful and organic transactions on the blockchain? (

Bring Your Own Transformation - How do we let our customers design their own APIs and transform their own realtime data streams? (

Data Governance - We pride ourselves on our data quality - How can we ensure our data is consistent across every copy and every region 24/7?

AI and LLMs - How does one design the LLM and AI experience on top of our data to lower the barrier of entry to crypto data? (

Data Transformation Holy grail: How can one unify streaming and batch transformation logic into a single code base?

If any of those bore you, we have many many more problems we have to solve!

Allium sizzle reel

Giant infrastructure budget per head

You will make mistakes, costly mistakes, but at Allium's expense. We have an internal leaderboard of the costliest infrastructure mistakes made, and we (try to) learn from them. We don't have fancy Michelin-starred meal budgets, but we have a huge infrastructure budget for one to get better at your craft. Why? We leverage every tool (no prereqs) out there because we meet our enterprise customers where they are at

Every OLAP: Snowflake, Databricks, Bigquery, Clickhouse

Every OLTP: Postgres, Aurora

Every Event bus: Kafka, SNS, PubSub

Every Cloud Provider: AWS, GCP, Azure (one day)

A copy of data in every region: US East, Central, West, Europe, Asia

Every data transformation and orchestration tool: Apache Beam, Materialize, TinyBird, DBT, SQLMesh, Temporal

Data governance tools: DataFold

(if any of the names above sound like foreign Pokemon names, fret not, you can come here and catch them all, we are here to teach and make you successful.)

All applicants have to answer this pop quiz: "What is an Allium? What is your favorite Allium?". Bonus points for the right pronunciation

Дополнительно

Obsessiveness - The best people at Allium cannot put a problem down once they pick it up. We care more about the work than is strictly rational. Institutions trust us because our data is right. Right means caring about the small things. The decoded contract that ships with one wrong field. The label that is 99% accurate but wrong on the address that matters. The query that runs in 4 seconds when it should run in 400 milliseconds. Most companies tolerate these. We do not

Obsessiveness shows up as depth of care. It is not measured in hours worked or visible effort. You should feel something physical when work ships half-right. That instinct is what we hire for

Pro Athlete Mindset - Consistency. Day in and day out, in pursuit of excellence. A win yesterday does not guarantee (or even imply!) a win tomorrow. I hope anyone who supports a failing sports team will feel the pain (cough Man United fans) of inconsistency

Figure It Out & Extreme Ownership - Every day is unexplored territory. There are new engineering frameworks, new legal docs, new compliance, new sales, new regulations, and new operational procedures every single day. If you don’t know it, learn it. If you can’t learn it, find someone or a product that does it. If you can’t find someone, find someone who can find someone. It is never a lack of resources, but lack of resourcefulness

High Agency - (One of) the highest commonalities between all successful people is their responsiveness. Most successful billionaire CEOs still reply to emails within minutes (within working hours). And when you reply, respond fast with effective solutions - and even better, resolutions. If you’re looking for a superpower, you can’t go wrong with responsiveness. Well of course this doesn't make sense when you're an engineer coding in flow, but in general high agency of problem solving gets one very far in life

Leading from the Front - No one is going to listen (and adopt) your suggestion unless you lead by example. It’s one thing to say We need to do XYZ this better & it’s another thing to build an MVP and say “This is the way we should do things”. The proof of work and momentum goes a long way

Strong Opinions On the Future (loosely held) - It is okay to be wrong, but what is not okay is not to have an idea of how a better future should be. Alliumites take pride in trying to improving everything about the company all the time

Sense of (Allium) business smell - There are number of folks who live to eat at Allium, but the Allium smell we are talking about is that we love folks who naturally want to know why and how the work they are doing builds leverage for their teammates and also relates to the business goals
