Join an early-stage team modernizing utility billing. High autonomy, direct access to leadership, and the chance to shape the product and the culture from the ground up.
Open roles ↓How we think about the work
We believe small teams of exceptional people build better software than large ones. We care deeply about craft, we move quickly, and we own our work end to end. We’re AI-capable and AI-curious — we use modern tools to do more with less, and we expect everyone to keep learning. If you want real ownership and real impact, this is the place.
How we think and work
- 01
Have fun
We take the work seriously, not ourselves. Fun is part of how we operate.
- 02
Stay curious
We’re AI-aware and forward-thinking. We learn fast and question defaults.
- 03
Be human
Approachable, direct, and honest. We say it as it is and assume good intent.
- 04
Own the outcome
High autonomy means high ownership. You ship, you own it, end to end.
- 05
Ship and iterate
Launch quickly, learn from real use, and improve. Done beats perfect.
- 06
Build to last
Put care into the foundation. Don’t make it a future person’s problem.
Engineering at Alaka’i
Our engineers are product-minded and own features end to end — from data model to deployed UI. We build primarily in Node and TypeScript — Next.js and Nest.js on the backend, Angular in a few places — all deployed on AWS, and we lean on AI-assisted development to move faster. We’re looking for people who are AI-capable and AI-curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by ownership.
- Product-minded: you care about the user, not just the ticket
- End-to-end ownership: you design, build, ship, and maintain
- Comfortable across our stack: Node/TypeScript, Next.js, Nest.js, and Angular, all on AWS
- AI-capable and AI-curious: you use modern tooling to move faster
- Strong fundamentals and a bias for shipping
- Comfortable with startup ambiguity and rapid iteration
