Senior Staff Software Engineer
AlphaSenseThe market intelligence and search platform trusted by over 3,500 leading organizations
• 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. • Mentor senior engineers, shape technical culture, and raise expectations for system design and execution. • Contribute to long-term technical strategy while remaining hands-on with critical implementations.
• Write elegant, efficient, and testable Ruby code that is easy to maintain and debug. • Cover code with tests and perform manual testing of features, while reviewing the work of colleagues. • As a true teammate, continuously improve the team’s processes, brainstorm ideas, communicate statuses, and progress. • Mentor team members, provide feedback, and continuously improve as a professional. • Learn new concepts and technologies. • Design, develop, document, analyze, create, test, or modify computer or cloud-based systems or programs.
