About the Role:

Alfa Wave is a boutique recruitment firm that partners with digital marketing and performance-driven companies across the US.  We are currently partnered with a top-tier email marketing firm entering an exciting phase of growth. Their high-impact engineering team develops proprietary tools and platforms that support domain health, email sending automation, and core internal systems that powers the entire business. They are seeking a confident Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer who can contribute across the entire stack while playing an active role in design and architecture decisions. This is a small, fast-moving environment where engineers are expected to wear multiple hats, take ownership, and adapt quickly as priorities shift.

This role is ideal for a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys variety, ownership, and helping shape technical direction within a modern environment. While the immediate focus is ramping up as a strong individual contributor, there is clear potential to grow into a technical lead over time. The stack includes Python/Django, TypeScript/JavaScript, SQL databases (Postgres), and cloud infrastructure (primarily GCP). If you feel comfortable stepping into this stack and want to make an impact on a lean, high-performing team, read on for details:

• Work across a modern stack: Python/Django, Golang, TypeScript, JavaScript, SQL databases (Postgres), and GCP cloud infrastructure.
• Collaborate closely with the existing engineering team and product manager to deliver against a shared product roadmap.

• Contribute to cloud engineering initiatives including Kubernetes, serverless infrastructure, and scalable system design.
• Own end-to-end development of new internal features and improvements, ensuring reliability, performance, and thoughtful engineering standards.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer working within an engineering team.
• 2+ years working in a major cloud environment (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure acceptable).
• Strong experience with Python (Django is a plus) and TypeScript/JavaScript.
• Proficiency with SQL databases (Postgres ideal).
• Familiarity with cloud engineering best practices (service deployments, IaC, CI/CD, containerization).
• Ability to think and communicate in terms of architecture, design patterns, and long-term maintainability.
• Experience with Kubernetes, distributed systems, or serverless technologies.
• Comfortable working in a small, fast-moving team where responsibilities evolve.
• Exposure to Go or additional backend languages is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive Annual Base Salary: $150,000 – $180,000 (DOE)
• Bi-Annual Bonuses based on company performance
• Early Stage Equity (eligible after 90 days of employment)
• Comprehensive Medical Benefits
• 401k with company match
• Generous PTO policy
• Flexible work environment: ideally working East Coast hours with occasional travel to Boston/Cambridge (2–4 times per year) for team meetings.
