About AlphaSense AlphaSense is the AI platform redefining market intelligence and workflow orchestration, trusted by thousands of leading organizations to drive faster, more confident decisions in business and finance. The platform combines domain-specific AI with a vast content universe of over 500 million premium business documents — including equity research, earnings calls, expert interviews, filings, news, and internal proprietary content. Purpose-built for speed, accuracy, and enterprise-grade security, AlphaSense helps teams extract critical insights, uncover market-moving trends, and automate complex workflows with high-quality outputs. About the Team The User Management team owns the full identity lifecycle at AlphaSense — from creating and provisioning users, through managing their identities, to authenticating who they are and authorizing what they can do in the system. User Management — creating, provisioning, and managing user identities - Authentication — verifying who users are - Authorization — determining what users can do in the system 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. About the Role 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 robust 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. X, WebFlux, Maven - Data & APIs: SQL, GraphQL, gRPC, REST - Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Helm - Identity & Security Protocols: RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC;
