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.

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
