About the Role

Join us as a Full Stack Staff Engineer to lead the evolution of the AlphaSense Application Portfolio through robust architecture and cutting-edge AI integration. This role is designed for a seasoned engineer who thrives on solving massive-scale frontend challenges and building performant, customer-focused systems.

  • Design the frontend architecture that serves as the gateway to our AI platform. You will build robust, scalable interfaces capable of rendering insights from millions of documents with sub-second latency. By bridging the gap between complex AI services and the end-user, you will ensure that massive-scale data is transformed into performant, intuitive, and highly responsive web applications.
  • Partner with cross-functional, distributed teams to evaluate and adopt emerging technologies, while leading the seamless integration and optimization of intelligent features and high-impact workflows across the platform
