For more information, visit www.alpha-sense.com. Come join us.\nThe Role: \nWe're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the teams building shared product platforms at AlphaSense. The domain covers two connected areas: the API-first platforms that power multiple product surfaces, integrations, and agentic workflows, and the usage platform that meters and reports AI credit consumption across our product features.\nBoth areas are built as products, not as internal plumbing. That means well-designed APIs, clear contracts, strong reliability guarantees, and a roadmap driven by real product needs. Our consumption platform is business-critical: it underpins how AlphaSense packages, prices, and reports on AI capabilities, so accurate, timely, and auditable metering is a hard requirement rather than an implementation detail.\nThis is a people-management role. The immediate team is largely based in EMEA/US, so global people management is preferred. You'll own hiring, growth, delivery, and the operational health of your teams, and you'll partner closely with Product, Platform, SRE, and Finance/RevOps to set direction. You'll stay technical enough to hold credible design discussions, review architecture, and push back where it matters, but your leverage comes through the engineers you grow and the systems they own. You'll work alongside Principal Engineers in long-term technical direction rather than duplicating that work.\nResponsibilities:\nLead, grow, and develop a team of backend and platform engineers across the API and usage/consumption areas\nOwn delivery: roadmap commitments, execution quality, and predictable outcomes for platforms with many internal and external consumers\nOwn the direction of usage metering and AI credit accounting, including accuracy, auditability, latency, and cost of the metering pipeline itself\nPartner with Product to shape a platform roadmap driven by real product and customer needs\nHire strong engineers, build a healthy pipeline, and raise the bar with every offer\nUphold API governance, versioning strategy, and backward compatibility, and hold the line on contracts that other teams depend on\nOwn operational excellence: SLOs, observability, on-call health, and follow-through on incidents\nPartner with Finance, RevOps, and Pricing on consumption models, entitlements, quotas, overages, and reporting\nCreate clarity in ambiguous, cross-team problems and break them into work your teams can execute\nGrow senior ICs and tech leads, and make succession and technical ownership explicit\nCommunicate technical trade-offs and risk to engineering and business stakeholders across time zones.\nRequirements: \nProven experience managing backend or platform engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development\nStrong hands-on engineering background in backend or distributed systems prior to management, with the ability to engage credibly in design and code reviews today\nExperience with product platforms or shared services consumed by multiple product teams\nTrack record of delivering and operating APIs at scale, with strong grounding in RESTful API design\nExperience with data-intensive systems: high-volume event ingestion, aggregation, and reporting\nComfort with ambiguity and the ability to influence technical direction across teams\nStrong written and verbal communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders\nNice to have: \nExperience with consumption or usage-based business models: metering, rating, entitlements, quotas, and billing integrations\nExperience with AI cost, token, or credit accounting systems\nExperience building or enabling agentic and AI-driven workflows, including orchestration, state management, and integration patterns\nFamiliarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar agent integration patterns\nSome experience with GraphQL (design, usage, or operating in production)\nExperience working in large-scale, distributed systems environments\nExperience working closely with Platform and SRE teams\nExperience leading globally distributed teams\nAlphaSense is an equal-opportunity employer.
