Alloy | San Francisco, CA and Vancouver, BC | Full-time, Onsite | <a href="
Over $20 trillion worth of goods are manufactured, transported, and sold each year - the things we use, wear and eat every day. The global supply chain is one the world's largest economic engines.
The manufacturers, distributors, brands, and retailers that make up this complex network struggle to track and respond to supply and demand as their products travel from production to consumer. Those who try rely on 40-year-old data standards, lots of manual Excel work, and hordes of human middleware.
Alloy is an end-to-end supply chain visibility platform that provides the first comprehensive, low-latency view of demand and inventory across all distribution channels. Our platform connects manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and retailers, allowing businesses to track their products down to the store shelf and better respond to end-consumer demand. We tie all of this information together with smart notifications that help get products to the right place at the right time.
We are post-revenue, well funded by leading VCs, and growing rapidly, with large contracts from some of the world's most recognisable brands. Our small team has diverse backgrounds and experience in analytics, large-scale enterprise SaaS, and retail and financial technology. Culture really matters to us: we value diversity in all forms and strive to foster integrity, respect, and open communication.
We use Google Cloud Platform, Postgres, Redis, Python, modern Java, and React, all wrapped in beautiful design.
