About the Role
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.
Who You Are

- 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.
- Track record of technical leadership across teams without formal people management.

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.
