Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

About the role

  • You'll work across all three pillars of identity: creating and managing users, authenticating them, and authorizing what they can do - designing systems built to scale with a constantly growing number of users.
  • Backend: Java 2X, Spring Boot 3.X.X, WebFlux, Maven

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and evolve our authorization platform (RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC), enabling teams across the company to answer "what can this user do?"
  • Design, build, and evolve our authentication platform, covering authentication patterns across our range of use cases, working closely with our Auth0 integration
  • Design, build, and evolve our user management platform - creating, provisioning, and managing user identities and entitlements - supporting our entire customer base
  • Build self-service systems and APIs (GraphQL, gRPC, REST) that make authentication, authorization, and user data consumable by product engineering teams across the company
  • Drive projects autonomously from North America while staying closely aligned with our Helsinki-based team
  • Partner closely with security teams to ensure our authentication, authorization, and user management platforms are secure by design and aligned with SOC2 and GDPR requirements
  • We are committed to a work environment that supports, inspires, and respects all individuals.
  • With market intelligence and search built on proven AI, AlphaSense delivers insights that matter from content you can trust.

Requirements

  • SpiceDB / Zanzibar-style authorization system experience
  • Experience operating within SOC2 and/or GDPR-compliant environments

Skills

  • Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Helm

Compensation

  • AlphaSense never asks candidates to pay for job applications, equipment, or training.
  • $202,400 - $278,300 USD
  • 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.

Benefits

  • Our universe of public and private content includes equity research, company filings, event transcripts, expert calls, news, trade journals, and clients' own research content.
  • You may also be offered equity, and a generous benefits program.

Company info

  • The User Management team owns the full identity lifecycle at AlphaSense - from creating and provisioning users, through managing their identities, to authenticating who they are and authorizing what they can do in the system.
  • Our work spans three core domains:
  • User Management - creating, provisioning, and managing user identities
  • Authentication - verifying who users are
  • Authorization - determining what users can do in the system
  • We are a product platform team, not a product team: we build the identity and access infrastructure that other engineering teams build on top of, rather than shipping user-facing features ourselves.
  • We also act as a security guardrail for AlphaSense, since identity and access sit at the center of how the platform stays secure.
  • The team is well-established and senior, based in Helsinki, Finland.
  • We're now expanding into North America - with roles based in both Canada and the US - to build follow-the-sun coverage, so our customers get proper support around the clock, and to push deliberately toward a true platform model - scaling our authentication and authorization systems so they can be safely self-served by teams across the company.
  • Design and implement highly scalable systems that keep pace with a constantly growing number of users and customers
  • Our platform is trusted by over 6,000 enterprise customers, including a majority of the S&P 500.
  • Founded in 2011, AlphaSense is headquartered in New York City with more than 2,000 employees across the globe and offices in the U.S., U.K., Finland, India, Singapore, Canada, and Ireland.

Equal opportunity

  • In addition, it is the policy of AlphaSense to provide reasonable accommodation to qualified employees who have protected disabilities to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances where a particular employee works.
