[Hiring] Staff Engineer @AlphaSense

Role Description

This is a Staff Engineer role on the team that manages identity and access for AlphaSense's entire, and constantly growing, customer base, and that nearly every product engineering team depends on for user and entitlement data. You'll work across all three pillars of identity:

• Creating and managing users
• Authenticating them
• Authorizing what they can do

Security is core to this role, not adjacent to it — you'll work closely with our security teams to ensure what we build is secure by design, in an environment governed by SOC2 and GDPR.

Qualifications

• Backend: Java 2X, Spring Boot 3.X.X, WebFlux, Maven
• Data & APIs: SQL, GraphQL, gRPC, REST
• Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Helm
• Identity & Security Protocols:
  • RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC
  • OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and JWT
  • SAML 2.0 and enterprise SSO federation
  • SCIM for user provisioning and deprovisioning
• Engineering Practices: Event-driven architecture patterns; TDD or a genuine passion for automated testing

Requirements

• Strong experience building and operating identity, authentication, or authorization platforms at scale
• Ability to understand needs behind a roadmap, shape it, and drive execution autonomously
• Interest in security and comfortable partnering closely with security teams
• Experience working in a distributed, cross-timezone setup

Benefits

• Base compensation range: $202,400 — $278,300 USD
• Equity options
• Generous benefits program
