[Hiring] Staff Software Engineer, Identity & Access Management @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

• Strong experience building and operating identity, authentication, or authorization platforms at scale
• Experience in a platform/product-platform engineering context
• Genuinely interested in security
• Comfortable partnering closely with security teams on secure-by-design systems
• Experience working in a distributed, cross-timezone setup

Requirements

• 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

Benefits

• Base compensation range: $164,450 — $226,550 CAD
• Equity options
• A generous benefits program
