About the Team

As a key member, you will be instrumental in managing the technical development of AlphaSense Expert Insights, a groundbreaking initiative where we conduct one-on-one interviews with industry and company subject matter experts, including thought leaders, former executives, customers, partners, and competitors. These experts offer invaluable perspectives that are typically inaccessible to investment analysts and other professionals.

Our commitment to delivering these insights extends to offering transcribed interviews through searchable and readable documents, audio formats, and a user-friendly iOS app. We even go the extra mile by providing additional features like text sentiment highlighting, the possibility to request personalized interviews, and direct communication with the experts.

This encompasses designing and implementing user interfaces, optimizing user experience, and ensuring responsive design. You will play a pivotal role in architecting both end-to-end solutions, setting the direction for cross-team collaboration and processes, and providing guidance to fellow engineers in their daily tasks.
