What the job involves
- The Cloud DX team owns the outer loop of software development at AlphaSense, everything from the moment code is pushed to source control to the moment it reaches production, for ~400 engineers distributed across the globe
- We've built a solid delivery foundation and we're now raising the bar toward industry-leading CI/CD
- Progressive delivery, canary deployments, automated rollbacks, trunk-based development, GitOps workflows: these aren't aspirations but the direction we're actively building, and we're looking for passionate engineers to help shape what best-in-class looks like
- This is a Staff Engineer role with real breadth
- It requires both operational and software development skills, the ability to lead projects and collaborate across timezones with Engineering leaders and very senior Engineers across dozens of teams
- You'll design and operate production-grade delivery infrastructure, contribute hands-on in Go and Python, and help shape the engineering practices a global organisation depends on
- We're looking for someone who genuinely embraces AI tooling in their day-to-day work, appreciates the productivity value it brings, and is motivated to push that further, both in their own practice and by helping embed AI-assisted workflows into the SDLC for the wider engineering organization
- Own and evolve our CI/CD architecture and the developer-facing experience
- Drive continuous improvements to pipeline reliability, speed, and predictability
- Define paved paths that let product teams ship fast and safely without deep platform knowledge
- Own the delivery process end-to-end, from code merge to production
- Champion progressive delivery practices: canary deployments & automated rollbacks
- Build tooling that makes deployments observable, repeatable, and self-service
- Own and evolve our Internal Developer Portal and the self-service experience around it
- Partner with Cloud Platform teams on infrastructure while owning the developer-facing delivery
- Embed AI tooling into delivery workflows in ways that create lasting productivity gains

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 has now set 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.
