About the Role:
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Reference and Entity Data Services mission. This team builds systems that ingest public and private company data from multiple sources, normalizing, deduplicating, and publishing it to every service at AlphaSense that surfaces company information. We’re a collaborative group of teams responsible for ensuring data quality, coverage and timeliness for over 9 million companies worldwide. In the near future, we plan to expand our scope beyond companies to other types of reference data including people, industries, governments, and more. Our tech stack includes Python, MySQL, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and AWS.
As part of our team, you’ll implement new data feed ingestions, integrate reference data with downstream systems, and ensure the health of systems that manage large flows of strategically important data relied upon by tens of thousands of users every day.
Who You Are:- 3+ years of software development experience building highly reliable, mission-critical software.
- Strong software engineering skills in back-end engineering on data-intensive applications with professional, real-world experience with applications at scale.
- A strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, such as algorithmic complexity, asynchronicity, and distributed computing.
- Experience writing high-quality code and tests, which includes handling error cases, asynchronous code, streaming data, caching, logging and analytics for understanding behavior in production.
- Knowledge of modern development practices, including CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks.
- Excellent communication, organizational, problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
- Ability and desire to work in an open and team-oriented environment.
What You’ll Do:
- 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 third-party provider, or designing the next generation of a data pipeline.
For base compensation, we set standard ranges for all roles based on function and level benchmarked against similar stage growth companies and internal comparables. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience/expertise and may vary from the amounts listed below.
You may also be offered a performance-based bonus, equity, and a generous benefits program.
