Job Description

Senior Engineering Manager leading backend teams building API-first product platforms and AI usage metering. Driving reliable, auditable systems for AlphaSense’s market-intelligence products.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead, grow, and develop a team of backend and platform engineers across the API and usage/consumption areas
  • Own delivery: roadmap commitments, execution quality, and predictable outcomes for platforms with many internal and external consumers
  • Own the direction of usage metering and AI credit accounting, including accuracy, auditability, latency, and cost of the metering pipeline itself
  • Partner with Product to shape a platform roadmap driven by real product and customer needs
  • Hire strong engineers, build a healthy pipeline, and raise the bar with every offer
  • Uphold API governance, versioning strategy, and backward compatibility
  • Own operational excellence: SLOs, observability, on-call health, and follow-through on incidents
  • Partner with Finance, RevOps, and Pricing on consumption models, entitlements, quotas, overages, and reporting
  • Create clarity in ambiguous, cross-team problems and break them into executable work
  • Grow senior ICs and tech leads, and make succession and technical ownership explicit
  • Communicate technical trade-offs and risk to engineering and business stakeholders across time zones

Requirements:

  • Proven experience managing backend or platform engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development
  • Strong hands-on engineering background in backend or distributed systems prior to management, with the ability to engage credibly in design and code reviews today
  • Experience with product platforms or shared services consumed by multiple product teams
  • Track record of delivering and operating APIs at scale, with strong grounding in RESTful API design
  • Experience with data-intensive systems: high-volume event ingestion, aggregation, and reporting
  • Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to influence technical direction across teams
  • Strong written and verbal communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Benefits:

  • Equal-opportunity employer committed to a supportive, respectful work environment
  • Reasonable accommodation for qualified employees with protected disabilities, as required by applicable laws
  • AlphaSense never asks candidates to pay for job applications, equipment, or training
