The Role:

We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to join the Core Developer Experience (Core DX) team and help make AlphaSense an exceptional environment for building software. In this role, you’ll focus on enabling engineers to work at high velocity, with confidence and flow, by reducing friction and improving the speed and quality of feedback in local development. You’ll design and evolve the tools, environments, and workflows that support fast, reliable iteration for ~400 engineers globally.

Core DX owns the inner loop of development, the day-to-day experience of writing, building, and testing code, along with the internal developer platform, self-service tooling, and developer productivity insights that support it. This is distinct from Cloud Platform DX (outer loop), which owns CI/CD and production infrastructure. You’ll work closely with Cloud DX to ensure a seamless SDLC experience from local development to production, while staying focused on the developer-facing side of that journey.

A key part of this role is embedding AI into the SDLC in a way that meaningfully augments engineers’ day-to-day workflows, from code authoring to debugging and testing, while ensuring consistent quality and safe adoption at scale.

Responsibilities:

Improve the inner development loop (local dev, build, test) for fast, reliable feedback
Integrate and advance AI across the SDLC (coding, testing, documentation, workflows)
Improve developer experience around CI/CD collaboration with CloudDX
Identify and eliminate friction across the developer journey
Build and evolve self-service tooling and internal platforms (DX/IDP)
Establish and improve developer productivity metrics and engineering insights (e.g., DORA, DX)
Enable engineering scalability through better tooling, shared libraries, standards, and automation
Partner across teams to improve developer experience without blocking autonomy

Requirements:

Strong experience in Developer Experience, Platform Engineering, or Internal Tooling
Proven experience building, rolling out, and operating internal developer platforms (IDP)
Track record of improving developer workflows and productivity at scale
Hands-on experience with CI/CD, improving reliability, speed, and predictability
Experience defining and using developer productivity metrics (e.g., DORA, DX insights)
Ability to identify systemic friction and solve it with pragmatic, scalable solutions
Experience building self-service platforms, tooling, and paved paths
Hands-on experience with, or strong drive to adopt, AI-enabled workflows across the SDLC
Passion for using AI to improve engineering velocity, quality, and developer experience
Strong collaboration skills and ability to influence across teams

Nice to have:

Experience with progressive delivery
Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and Kubernetes-based platforms
Experience with test platforms / QA automation and improving feedback loops
Familiarity with modern frontend architectures and microfrontend delivery models
EST or UK timezone for closer overlap with direct team members
