Senior Staff Software Engineer

Role Description

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.

• 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.
• Contribute to the frontends relied upon by tens of thousands of users every day.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Good knowledge of design and architecture concepts.
• Familiarity with Agile software development processes and software testing.
• Experience in shipping pragmatic and high-quality solutions with a sense of urgency.
• Track record of technical leadership across teams without formal people management.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity where none exists.
• Ability and desire to work in an open and team-oriented environment.

Requirements

• Build robust, well-designed and effective software that solves complex problems.
• Test, review and deploy code quickly; we deploy over 10 times per day and manage major releases with feature flags rather than coordinated deployments.
• Research, learn and share new techniques for solving complex engineering problems.
• Write tools and develop practices for the engineering team.
• Own projects from end-to-end.
• Analyze and design solutions to business problems.
• 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.

Benefits

• Compensation Range: $202,400 — $278,300 USD.
• You may also be offered equity and a generous benefits program.
