We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the Expert Research mission that drives all expert call services at AlphaSense. We're a collaborative group of full-stack teams responsible for everything from the internal systems that support 9,000+ monthly expert calls to enhancing how users engage with this content in the AlphaSense frontend. Our tech stack includes Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, Vue.js, and React.
As part of our team, you’ll help streamline workflows for over 250 analysts, integrate third-party data sources, create new content flywheels to expand our world-class expert library, collaborate with our ML teams to embed AI into the product, and contribute to the frontends relied upon by tens of thousands of users every day.
10+ years of software development experience building highly reliable, mission-critical software.
A strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, such as algorithmic complexity, asynchronicity, and distributed computing.
Familiarity with Agile software development processes and software testing.
Experience in shipping pragmatic and high quality solutions with a sense of urgency
Build robust, well-designed and effective software that solves complex problems.
We deploy over 10 times per day and manage major releases with feature flags rather than coordinated deployments.
Write tools and develop practices for the engineering team. From GraphQL-to-Typescript compilers to fully automated deployments, we take the time to invest heavily in our own productivity.
Own projects from end-to-end. On a given day you might be building a system to measure search engine performance, reworking an integration with a telephony provider, or designing a UI component library.
Analyze and design solutions to business problems. At AlphaSense, you’ll be fully involved in determining what to do, not just doing it.
Mentor senior engineers, shape technical culture, and raise expectations for system design and execution.
Contribute to long-term technical strategy while remaining hands-on with critical implementations.
In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. You may also be offered equity, and a generous benefits program.
