About the role

About Alex
Alex was just named to the CB Insights AI 100 of 2026, the 100 most promising AI startups in the world. We're building the future of hiring: our AI recruiter conducts live job interviews, coordinates follow ups, and more giving companies deeper hiring signal faster than ever. We work with some of the most respected brands in the world and have raised $20M to date.

Who are we?

We’re people who:

  • genuinely enjoy solving complex engineering problems

  • learn quickly and do what it takes to deliver results

  • work really, really hard

  • move with urgency

  • enjoy and value working together in person in San Francisco 5 days a week

What technologies do we use?

Experience preferred in:

  • Javascript (Typescript, React, Node, Next)

  • Python

  • Cloud / DevOps (Azure, Kubernetes, Docker)

  • System Architecture

What can I work on?

Alex is similar to a marketplace, as we serve both candidates through the interview experience and employers through a data aggregation and analysis platform. As a hands-on engineer, you will build both consumer-facing and enterprise-grade software with a clear opportunity for growth. Problems that you could work on related to consumer software are:

  • How can we bring the average interviewer response latency down to 200ms?

  • How can we fine-tune our models to decrease hallucination and help Alex pass the Turing test?

  • How will our system architecture change as we scale to thousands more users, concurrently?

Problems that you could work on related to enterprise software are:

  • How do we integrate with our customer’s internal hiring systems?

  • What’s the best way to present interview results visually and as fast as possible?

  • How can Alex expand to coordinating the hiring process end to end?

  • And many, many feature requests that need to be built out!

What’s in it for me?

  • Take ownership of building the next billion dollar company

  • Collaborate with a tight-knit team of talented builders

  • Launch products that directly impact people’s careers

  • Work with the founding team daily in-person in San Francisco

  • Competitive salary and equity

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • FSA, DCFSA, HSA options

  • Flexible paid time off (PTO)

  • 401(k) plan

  • Fully paid parental leave program

  • Commuter benefits

  • In office lunch

  • Dog-friendly office

If you’ve gotten this far and our culture/tech resonates with you, we want you to apply. Your first conversation will be with Alex, our AI recruiter.

Alex is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
