AlphaSense is seeking a Staff Quality Engineer to lead the company's transition to an AI-First Operating Model. You will architect quality standards for the next generation of market intelligence platform, defining how the organization builds, tests, and operates in an AI-centric ecosystem.
In this strategic role, you will own quality initiatives across complex data pipelines, AI model validation, system observability, and agentic search interactions. You'll establish "AI-First" as the standard operating procedure, defining quality gates that enable delivery of state-of-the-art market intelligence at scale.
Key responsibilities include: defining long-term testing strategy and quality culture emphasizing "Quality by Design" and "Automation by Default"; establishing quality metrics and coverage standards in partnership with product and engineering teams; growing test coverage through scalable, domain-specific automation; guiding test planning for new features across unit, integration, and E2E layers; continuously improving testing processes and performing exploratory testing to discover risks; and coaching engineers on sustainable quality practices.
You should have deep fluency with AI tools and proven ability to accelerate software delivery. Required technical skills include proficiency in at least one of: Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, or Java; strong testing methodology knowledge; experience with Test Management Systems (e.g., Allure TestOps); API testing expertise; UI test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright); cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure); containerization (Kubernetes); and continuous delivery practices.
Critically, you must demonstrate ability to operate autonomously and set direction without a dedicated QE team or manager in place. You'll coach engineering teams on quality-by-design and shift-left practices, influencing without direct authority. Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills are essential.
Bonus qualifications include CI/CD tool configuration, GraphQL knowledge, performance engineering (k6) and observability expertise (OpenTelemetry/Grafana), financial data domain knowledge, backend/data pipeline testing experience, and a BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or Information Technology.
AlphaSense is a market intelligence platform trusted by over 6,000 enterprise customers, including a majority of the S&P 500. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in NYC with 2,000+ employees globally.
