About the Team:
As a member of our Search team, you will take ownership of a pivotal platform that significantly influences how our customers uncover insights. This role involves not just maintaining a search system but innovating the next generation of information retrieval at scale. You’ll leverage modern technologies, including hybrid lexical/vector search, while applying your expertise in distributed systems to tackle intriguing scaling challenges.
The best part? You’ll collaborate with a team of talented engineers who are passionate about learning. Your experience in creating resilient systems will enhance the capabilities of the entire team.
About the Role:
AlphaSense is on the lookout for a seasoned engineer to contribute to the search platform that drives market intelligence across billions of documents.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives on challenges and has a proven track record in building robust, high-performance systems. While prior search experience is advantageous, we believe that exceptional engineers can adapt to new domains—what matters most is your ability to construct scalable, fault-tolerant systems.
