AlphaSense is looking to solve the problem of uncertainty in decision-making by empowering professionals to make smarter decisions through AI-driven market intelligence, and the Core Developer Experience (Core DX) team is expanding its US time zone footprint to shape the future of developer productivity and engineering experience.
Requirements
- 8+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, or DevEx roles, with 3+ years in a Senior+/Tech Lead capacity.
- Strong experience building developer platforms, frameworks, or productivity tooling.
- Proficiency in at least one major programming language (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript)
- Experience with or strong interest in AI-driven developer tooling (e.g., automated documentation, test generation, developer insights, support systems).
- Exposure to Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) such as Backstage, Port.io, or similar.
- Hands-on experience with feature flag platforms and rollout strategies (e.g., LaunchDarkly, Statsig).
- Experience driving test automation and code coverage at scale, enabling product teams to own quality.
Responsibilities
- Build Developer Paved Paths: Architect frameworks, SDKs, and self-service tooling that streamline development, testing, deployment, and documentation workflows.
- Feature Flags & Dev Tooling: Lead the development of feature flagging systems, local dev tools, CLI utilities, scaffolding tools, and inner dev loop automation (linters, pre-commit hooks).
- Knowledge Flow & Standards: Build systems for documentation automation, onboarding portals, and changelog tooling; define and evolve engineering standards, definition of done, and tech radar. Use AI to reduce manual overhead and keep knowledge always up to date.
- Developer Insights: Deliver systems that surface actionable DX insights (e.g., surveys, telemetry, workflow analytics) and explore AI-powered insights to continuously improve the developer journey.
- QA Platform Evolution: Enable and multiply test automation owned directly by software engineers by providing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Testkube), test reporting (Allure), and performance testing capabilities. Leverage AI to accelerate test creation, reduce flakiness, and improve efficiency across the engineering organization.
- Common Platforms: Contribute to shared libraries, event bridge, and internal frameworks that unify the developer experience across teams.
- Mentor & Multiply: Elevate engineers across teams by sharing expertise, driving adoption of best practices, and influencing architectural decisions.
Other
- Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or related field.
- Excellent collaboration and mentorship skills.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work with a geographically distributed team.
