We are seeking a Principal Design Engineer to play a key role in shaping the future of AlphaSense’s product experience. This is a senior individual contributor role, where you’ll lead through craft, systems thinking, and technical excellence, building AI-powered experiences that feel tailored, intelligent, and essential to our customers’ workflows
You will operate at the intersection of design, engineering, and product strategy, translating complex, data-rich problems into high-quality, production-ready experiences. You won’t just prototype ideas; you’ll define how they are built, scaled, and experienced in the product
As a senior member of the Design team, you’ll act as a multiplier—mentoring others, guiding technical and design decisions, and strengthening the connection between user needs, business goals, and engineering realities
Why this role matters
At AlphaSense, design is a core driver of how we win. As we build an AI-native platform, the quality of our user experience will define how effectively customers can navigate complexity, build conviction, and make decisions
In this role, you will help define that standard—through the systems you build, the experiences you ship, and the team you help elevate
Create high-fidelity, coded prototypes and interaction models that bring complex, AI-powered workflows to life and clearly communicate product direction
Own high-impact initiatives from concept through production, shipping experiences that reflect strong design thinking, technical rigor, and a deep understanding of customer workflows
Lead technical design discussions, make architectural decisions, and guide cross-team implementation efforts
Advance AlphaSense’s design system as a core piece of product infrastructure—defining scalable patterns, enabling consistency, and accelerating teams building across AI-native experiences
Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to research and evaluate user requirements, translate them into effective designs, and ensure that the final product meets both user and business needs
Collaborate with engineering teams during development, advocating for design quality and user experience by championing design fidelity and attention to detail throughout the development lifecycle
