Desktop Software Engineering Manager

You've been the most technical person in the room in IT settings, and you've also successfully made the shift to leading a team — without losing your instincts for what good engineering looks like.

You hold a high bar for documentation, automation, and root cause analysis, and you bring that standard to everything the team produces.

Experience with Kandji/Iru specifically, including Blueprint architecture and enforcement scripting

Familiarity with Electron-based desktop applications and their specific deployment, update, and permission behaviors on managed endpoints

Experience with CrowdStrike Falcon, Cloudflare Zero Trust / WARP, or Okta in an enterprise endpoint context

Background in a SaaS product company where Corporate IT and Engineering teams collaborate closely

AlphaSense is building a new Desktop Software Engineering function within Corporate Technology, and we are looking for the manager who will shape it from the ground up.

This role sits at the intersection of enterprise endpoint engineering and internal product quality — primarily responsible for ensuring that AlphaSense's own desktop applications behave reliably on every managed endpoint across the company, while also contributing to the team responsible for macOS and Windows device management at scale.

You will lead a team of engineers (not generalist support technicians) who own MDM platforms, write automation, and serve as the technical bridge between Corporate IT and the product engineering organization.

As the founding manager of this function, you will define how the team operates, how work gets prioritized, and how the team earns trust with both the internal IT organization and the engineering teams you partner with.

You'll report to the Senior Manager of Integrated IT and work closely with Security, Business Applications, and Information Engineering teams as part of AlphaSense's broader Secure IT initiative.
