Reports to: Engineering Manager

About the Team:

Our diverse Product & Engineering team values innovation, collaboration, and the continuous improvement of our platform. We offer a dynamic work environment where employees can grow and thrive while working on cutting-edge technology that shapes the future of AI and search.

At AlphaSense, we believe that diverse experiences and perspectives are critical to our success. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where all employees feel valued and empowered to be their authentic selves.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Reference and Entity Data Services mission. This team builds systems that ingest metadata from multiple sources, normalizing, deduplicating, and publishing it to every service at AlphaSense that surfaces company information. We’re a collaborative group of teams responsible for ensuring metadata quality, coverage and timeliness for over 9 million companies worldwide. In the near future, we plan to expand the types of reference data we manage to include people, industries, governments, and more. Our tech stack includes Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, MySQL, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and AWS.

As part of our team, you’ll implement new data feed ingestions, integrate reference data with downstream systems, and ensure the health of systems that manage large flows of strategically important data relied upon by tens of thousands of users every day.

Who You Are:

• 5+ 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 on 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.
• Ability and desire to work in an open and team-oriented environment.

What You’ll Do: 

• 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. We’re a highly collaborative team and we push each other to find better solutions every day.
• 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. Companies that throw solutions over the wall to engineers are wasting half their abilities. At AlphaSense, you’ll be fully involved in determining what to do, not just doing it.

For base compensation, we set standard ranges for all roles based on function and level benchmarked against similar stage growth companies and internal comparables. 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. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience/expertise and may vary from the amounts listed below.

You may also be offered equity, and a generous benefits program.
