Company mission
AlphaSense's mission is to organize the world’s business information and leverage technology to enable companies to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.
Role
Who you are
- You have managed engineers, with a passion for developing and growing people as they progress on their career journey, working in a fast-paced, startup environment using Agile development methodologies
- You are an experienced software engineer that solves complex engineering problems to delight users and drive business results. Even if you aren’t coding regularly, you are able to provide technical thought leadership and code review feedback
- You are a great communicator that can partner well with your customers, stakeholders, and your team to keep everyone aligned and motivated
- You are forward-thinking and able to analyze and anticipate project, technology and team solutions to ensure successful project delivery
- You have a team-first mentality and you work collaboratively with different stakeholders to set the technical direction for our products, developing easy-to-use solutions for our customers
- You are highly organized. With many people doing many things in a dynamic company, strong organizational skills—both for yourself and for the team—will be required
- You may have experience with Python, Node, GraphQL and Typescript, but not required
What the job involves
- To support our growth, we are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead part of our FinData Experience organization. This group is responsible for building all the quantitative features in our products.
- This includes industry comps, models, and company metrics both on web as well as served in our companion excel add-in. The right manager will provide unique, diverse perspectives to not only support their own team, but all of engineering, product and design at Alphasense
- As a technical leader, you’ll manage 1 - 3 full stack engineering teams that own specific parts of the AlphaSense product offering
- You will hire and mentor a team of top tier engineers
- You will work directly with multiple stakeholders in our product and design as well as other engineering leads and managers to ensure we’re building solutions that solve business problems the right way
- You will guide your teams to build robust, well-designed and effective software that solves complex problems, including testing, reviewing and deploying code quickly. AlphaSense values technical leaders that are able to guide architectural and technical decisions, as well as getting hands-on as needed
- You will contribute to the broader engineering teams practices and culture. As an early stage company, AlphaSense needs engineering managers that will help to define and shape our team
Our take
Manual research can be a serious pain : financial analysts spend hours every week searching through PDFs one keyword at a time, just to find a single usable insight. To remedy this, AlphaSense has built a smart search engine that slashes research time for analysts, using thousands of sources and a semantic indexing layer that can effectively query finance-specific language.
As a disruptor and market leader in this field AlphaSense has few direct competitors, being most closely compared to Wolfram Alpha or LexisNexis. It helps that its tools are undoubtedly effective and valued by knowledge professionals: the company counts about 85% of the S&P 100 as customers and is trusted by J.P.Morgan, Microsoft, Credit Suisse and Google, among other major enterprises.
Having raised a large amount of funding over 2022 and 2023, AlphaSense has moved quickly to double down on its expansion in European markets, opening an office in Berlin to support this. With 2024 seeing investment from Singaporean EDBI, it is now setting its sights on the Asia-Pacific region. As business intelligence will remain key for enterprises as they compete for market share, AlphaSense is well-placed for additional future growth.
