Alumni Ventures is one of the world’s most active venture capital platforms, with $1.4B+ in assets raised and investments in 1,300+ companies. Our network of 850,000+ members and 40+ dedicated investors connects accredited individuals to high-quality venture deals—typically reserved for institutions—through our alumni-driven communities and diversified co-investment strategy. With offices in Boston, New York, Chicago, Menlo Park, and Manchester, NH, we’re rapidly growing and committed to fueling entrepreneurial success while developing the next generation of VC professionals.
Alumni Ventures operates a scaled, technology-enabled venture platform rather than a traditional VC model. Our engineering team builds and operates the systems that power investment tracking, portfolio analytics, and new financial products. The team is small and fast moving, and engineers own problems end to end with direct visibility into how their work is used by investors and founders. You will work across the stack, from APIs and data pipelines to investor-facing UI, while building mission-driven tools that support real investments in innovative startups.
This is a hybrid role with an expectation of T/W/Th in the office.
What You’ll Do- Design, build, and ship features across the platform, including investor dashboards and internal workflow automation.
- Solve complex problems in data modeling, system design, API development, and third-party integrations, with an emphasis on scalability and reliability.
- Use AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining full accountability for code comprehension, quality, and security.
- Contribute to a culture of curiosity, ownership, and continuous improvement.
- A Master’s degree in Computer Science (or related field) or a Bachelor’s plus 2 to 3 years of professional software engineering experience.
- A deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, databases, and how to apply them to real-world problems.
- Proficient in Python and/or JavaScript (both is a plus; mastery of at least one is required). You care about code quality, readability, and maintainability.
- Leverage AI to increase velocity while critically reviewing and improving generated code.
- Proactive in identifying problems, proposing solutions, and driving them to completion.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and motivated by hard problems and building from the ground up.
Compensation range of $90,000 - $130,000 plus equity and corporate bonus.
Our benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k match, HSA, FSA, Life Insurance, Pet Insurance, Flexible PTO, and Parental Leave as well as career development.
