We're searching for passionate individuals eager to contribute to Alpaca 's rapid growth. If you align with our core values—Stay Curious, Have Empathy, and Be Accountable—and are ready to make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply.
We are looking for a Head of Data to lead Alpaca ’s ~15-person data department across Platform Engineering, Analytics Engineering, and Data Science. You will own the data strategy, the team’s execution, and the department’s roadmap.
The Data department serves every function at Alpaca : it powers partner invoicing and revenue attribution, provides the analytical foundation for sales, product, and compliance, and operates the data platform that processes hundreds of millions of events daily. You will manage three team leads, balancing operational delivery (invoicing, embedded analytics, regulatory reporting) with strategic bets (self-service warehouse, AI-powered analytics, enterprise search).
This is a player-coach role. You will set direction for the team while staying close enough to the technical details to make architecture decisions, unblock your leads, and represent data’s capabilities to the executive team.
Support product launches with data change management: coordinate data impact analysis for new products (fixed income, global stocks, perps, 24/5 trading) across downstream datasets, dashboards, and reverse ETL.
Accelerate self-service: move the organization toward self-serve analytics via semantic layers, data catalogues, and conversational BI so the data team can shift from ad-hoc queries to strategic projects.
Straight to the employer's own application — no middleman.
Tell us and we'll mark Alpaca as a company that has actually hired in the Caribbean. It's the most useful thing on this board and it only exists because people report it.
