Senior Software Engineer - Alti (AI)

Alternative Payments is building the financial operating system for SMBs, consolidating the disconnected tech stack that holds service-based businesses back. Starting with MSPs, we’ve spent five years perfecting accounts receivable, and we’re now expanding into accounts payable, AI-powered analytics, and beyond. We’re at an inflection point: closing the loop on money movement and laying the foundation for a platform that will reshape how service businesses operate financially.

We’re growing fast, thinking big, and building a global team that wants to be part of something that lasts. We believe the best solutions come from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and a shared obsession with customer impact. If you’re energized by real problems, real customers, and real impact, we want to hear from you!

• Experience with at least one of: chatbots/conversational AI, RAG, or LLM evaluation pipelines.

• Strong skills in at least one of Go, TypeScript/JavaScript or Python.

• A product mindset: you care about what gets delivered to users, not only the model.

• Comfort in a fast-paced environment where you own many parts of the delivery chain.
