About this role

The Principal Cloud DX Software Engineer role at AlphaSense is a remote, United States-based position that focuses on scaling delivery architecture for a global engineering team. This opportunity is well-suited for a seasoned platform engineer with deep expertise in CI/CD, GitOps, and cloud-native systems who wants to drive organization-wide technical direction.

Role Overview

AlphaSense is seeking a Principal Engineer to own the outer loop of software development for hundreds of distributed engineers. This position involves architecting the next generation of software delivery, moving from dozens of production systems to hundreds running across multiple Kubernetes clusters. The candidate will design the framework for how code moves safely from source control to production without slowing down product delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Design and own the CI/CD and configuration management architecture for the entire production fleet.
Turn the creation of a new production environment into a simple, templated process.
Establish reference architectures with performance profiles tailored to specific cluster scales.
Address version skew and manage release cadences across environments operating at different speeds.
Implement progressive delivery standards, including canary deployments and automated rollbacks.
Create paved paths that enable product teams to ship software to any environment without deep platform knowledge.
Manage end-to-end delivery, focusing on pipeline speed, predictability, and reliability.
Enhance the internal developer portal and self-service capabilities.
Collaborate with Security, Compliance, and Cloud Platform teams to satisfy necessary controls.
Integrate AI tooling into daily delivery workflows to boost developer productivity.

Requirements

Background in platform engineering focused on CI/CD within organizations employing over 250 engineers.
Experience administering and architecting CI/CD platforms at scale, covering configuration, security, and enablement.
Fluency in GitOps and declarative configuration techniques.
Demonstrated ability to design and operate large-scale software delivery systems.
Hands-on, production-grade software development capabilities.
Strong enthusiasm for progressive delivery methods like canary releases and automated rollbacks.
Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and Kubernetes environments.
Commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance engineering velocity and quality.
Excellent communication skills to influence technical direction across multiple time zones and teams.

Nice to Have

Prior experience establishing new production regions or isolated deployments from scratch.
Professional background combining both product software engineering and platform engineering.
Practical knowledge of compliance standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR, alongside RBAC and OAuth.
