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
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.
