Alder is building next-generation, scalable, intelligent applications at an e-commerce-level scale with AI-augmented development speed and product-driven engineering excellence. The goal is to help families navigate the aging journey with expert care and support.
Requirements
- Strong full-stack experience with Java (Spring Boot, Micronaut, or equivalent) and React (or similar frontend frameworks).
- Deep understanding of scalability in distributed systems, performance optimization, caching, and database design.
- Hands-on AWS experience (EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc.) and DevOps best practices.
- Expertise with AI-assisted development; leveraging tools that amplify productivity and innovation.
Responsibilities
- Design and build end-to-end features across the stack (React frontend, Java-based backend, AWS infrastructure).
- Architect scalable systems capable of handling high user traffic and complex data flows, similar to e-commerce-scale applications.
- Leverage AI tools (Claude Code, Copilot/Codex, custom LLM integrations, etc.) to augment and write, test, and ship code faster and smarter.
- Collaborate closely with CTO, founders and product to define and deliver new capabilities.
- Drive technical excellence to improve code quality, scalability, observability, and developer velocity.
- Shape our engineering culture through mentorship, tooling choices, and processes that balance speed and quality.
Other
- Self-starter mindset who thrives with autonomy, owns outcomes, and moves fast.
- Curiosity and growth mindset; you experiment, learn quickly, and adapt technologies as the product evolves.
