With market intelligence and search built on proven AI, AlphaSense delivers insights that matter from content you can trust. Our universe of public and private content includes equity research, company filings, event transcripts, expert calls, news, trade journals, and clients’ own research content.
The acquisition of Tegus by AlphaSense in 2024 advances our shared mission to empower professionals to make smarter decisions through AI-driven market intelligence. Together, AlphaSense and Tegus will accelerate growth, innovation, and content expansion, with complementary product and content capabilities that enable users to unearth even more comprehensive insights from thousands of content sets. Our platform is trusted by over 6,000 enterprise customers, including a majority of the S&P; 500. We are a product platform team, not a product team: we build the identity and access infrastructure that other engineering teams build on top of, rather than shipping user-facing features ourselves. We also act as a security guardrail for AlphaSense, since identity and access sit at the center of how the platform stays secure.
The team is well-established and senior, based in Helsinki, Finland. We're now expanding into Canada to build follow-the-sun coverage, so our customers get proper support around the clock, and to push deliberately toward a true platform model — scaling our authentication and authorization systems so they can be safely self-served by teams across the company.
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. We're looking for a genuinely senior, self-sufficient engineer with strong experience building and operating identity, authentication, or authorization platforms at scale, ideally in a platform/product-platform engineering context. This is someone who doesn't just execute a roadmap, but helps understand the needs behind it, shapes it, and then drives execution — largely autonomously, and in close collaboration with our core team based in Helsinki. Java 2X, Spring Boot 3.Data & APIs: SQL, GraphQL, gRPC, REST
Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Helm
Engineering Practices: TDD or a genuine passion for automated testing
[Design, build, and evolve our user management platform — creating, provisioning, and managing user identities and entitlements — supporting our entire customer base
Design and implement highly scalable systems that keep pace with a constantly growing number of users and customers
Help define the long-term roadmap across all three domains — authentication, authorization, and user management — not just execute against one handed to you
Build self-service systems and APIs (GraphQL, gRPC, REST) that make authentication, authorization, and user data consumable by product engineering teams across the company




Drive projects autonomously from Canada while staying closely aligned with our Helsinki-based team
Champion strong testing, observability, and reliability practices across the platform
For base compensation, we set standard ranges for all roles based on function and level benchmarked against similar stage growth companies and internal comparables.
