We’re looking for a Principal Engineer in Developer Experience (DevEx) to shape and drive a holistic developer experience strategy across AlphaSense
This is a highly strategic, cross-cutting role focused on ensuring that developer experience evolves consistently and intentionally across the organization. You will operate across both Core Developer Experience (inner loop), that focused on local development, internal tooling, and productivity, and Cloud/Platform DX (outer loop), that focused on CI/CD and production systems, aligning efforts across teams with distinct ownership to create a cohesive, end-to-end developer experience
You will work closely with the Head of Developer Productivity & Experience and other platform teams to define direction, priorities, and long-term strategy, making execution aligned and impactful. You will also establish a clear system of developer productivity metrics and engineering insights, ensuring decisions are data-informed and that improvements scale with the organization
A key part of this role is driving the transformation of our SDLC through AI, identifying where it can fundamentally change how we build, test, and operate software, and leading its adoption to deliver step-change improvements in developer productivity and system reliability. This includes integrating AI deeply into day-to-day workflows while establishing the standards, guardrails, and engineering practices needed to scale its use safely and consistently
Define and evolve the DevEx strategy across the org in partnership with engineering leadership
Align and connect efforts across Core DX (inner loop) and Cloud/Platform DX (outer loop)
Ensure a holistic approach to DevEx, avoiding local optimizations and fragmentation
Identify and drive improvements across the end-to-end developer journey
Establish and standardize developer productivity metrics and engineering insights (e.g., DORA, DX)
Guide the evolution of internal developer platforms (IDP) and self-service capabilities across teams
Drive consistency and reliability in CI/CD systems, ensuring fast and predictable delivery workflows
Lead the adoption of AI-enabled SDLC practices across teams, enabling safe experimentation
Partner with engineering, SRE, and platform teams to influence direction without direct ownership
Act as a technical leader and mentor, raising the bar for DevEx thinking and execution
For base compensation, we set standard ranges for all roles based on function and level benchmarked against similar stage growth companies and internal comparables. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location
You may also be offered a performance-based bonus, equity, and a generous benefits program
