About the team

Data fuels everything we do at Alloy - not just for our product, but also how we operate. For our clients, it powers the decisions that they make about thousands of data points every millisecond of the day to onboard customers, automate processes, and stay vigilant against fraud. Internally, data drives how we serve those clients - from measuring client health and identifying opportunities for deeper engagement, to optimizing our support and implementation processes.

Our ability to utilize data at these massive scales is only as powerful as our ability to make it available and actionable across our business and product.

We're at an inflection point: our data volumes are surging, our product is evolving, and our clients  needs are growing more sophisticated.
