Senior/Staff Design Engineer

About the Team

AlphaSense’s Design team is a strategic driver of product differentiation, shaping how the world’s leading companies make high-stakes decisions with confidence. We believe great UX is not just about usability, it’s about deeply understanding our customers’ workflows and building experiences that feel tailored, intelligent, and indispensable to how they work.

As AlphaSense evolves into an AI-native platform, Design plays a critical role in defining how AI shows up in real workflows, from search to synthesis to decision-making. We partner closely with Product and Engineering to turn complex data and advanced AI capabilities into cohesive, intuitive, and high-quality experiences.

Our team is a global group of craftspeople, systems thinkers, and innovators who care deeply about quality, velocity, and impact. We operate with a strong sense of ownership, a bias toward action, and a commitment to raising the bar for what great product design looks like in an AI-first world.

About the Role

We are seeking Senior and Staff Design Engineers to play a key role in shaping the future of AlphaSense’s product experience. This is a senior individual contributor role, where you’ll lead through craft, systems thinking, and technical excellence, building AI-powered experiences that feel tailored, intelligent, and essential to our customers’ workflows.

You will operate at the intersection of design, engineering, and product strategy, translating complex, data-rich problems into high-quality, production-ready experiences. You won’t just prototype ideas; you’ll define how they are built, scaled, and experienced in the product.

As a senior member of the Design team, you’ll act as a multiplier—mentoring others, guiding technical and design decisions, and strengthening the connection between user needs, business goals, and engineering realities.

Why this role matters

At AlphaSense, design is a core driver of how we win. As we build an AI-native platform, the quality of our user experience will define how effectively customers can navigate complexity, build conviction, and make decisions. In this role, you will help define that standard—through the systems you build, the experiences you ship, and the team you help elevate.
