Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Files H-1B transfers

7 transfer filings in the last year, covering 7 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

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 Canada 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.
  • AlphaSense is the AI platform redefining market intelligence and workflow orchestration, trusted by thousands of leading organizations to drive faster, more confident decisions in business and finance.
  • With AI solutions like Generative Search, Generative Grid, and Deep Research, AlphaSense delivers the clarity and depth professionals need to navigate complexity and obtain accurate, real-time information quickly.

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.
  • $164,450 - $226,550 CAD
  • 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

  • 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 Canada 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.
