Principal Engineer, Developer Experience (DevEx)

Extensive experience in DevEx, Platform Engineering, and large-scale engineering systems

Deep systems and operational thinking, grounded in a strong software engineering background

Proven track record of defining and driving cross-organizational technical strategy

Experience working across multiple domains (e.g., platform, cloud, CI/CD, developer tooling)

Strong experience with internal developer platforms (IDP) and enabling self-service ecosystems

Deep understanding of developer productivity, metrics, and engineering insights (e.g., DORA, DX)

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.

You will work closely with the Head of Developer Productivity & Experience and other platform teams to define direction, priorities, and long-term strategy, making execution aligned and impactful.

You will also establish a clear system of developer productivity metrics and engineering insights, ensuring decisions are data-informed and that improvements scale with the organization.

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.

The Developer Experience team enables engineers to do their best work with high velocity, strong confidence, and a seamless path from local development to production, while ensuring improvements are coordinated across domains rather than optimized in isolation.
