The Role:
We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the teams building shared product platforms at AlphaSense. The domain covers two connected areas: the API-first platforms that power multiple product surfaces, integrations, and agentic workflows, and the usage platform that meters and reports AI credit consumption across our product features.
Both areas are built as products, not as internal plumbing. That means well-designed APIs, clear contracts, strong reliability guarantees, and a roadmap driven by real product needs. Our consumption platform is business-critical: it underpins how AlphaSense packages, prices, and reports on AI capabilities, so accurate, timely, and auditable metering is a hard requirement rather than an implementation detail.
This is a people-management role. The immediate team is largely based in EMEA/US, so global people management is preferred. You'll own hiring, growth, delivery, and the operational health of your teams, and you'll partner closely with Product, Platform, SRE, and Finance/RevOps to set direction. You'll stay technical enough to hold credible design discussions, review architecture, and push back where it matters, but your leverage comes through the engineers you grow and the systems they own. You'll work alongside Principal Engineers in long-term technical direction rather than duplicating that work.
Responsibilities:
- Lead, grow, and develop a team of backend and platform engineers across the API and usage/consumption areas
- Own delivery: roadmap commitments, execution quality, and predictable outcomes for platforms with many internal and external consumers
- Own the direction of usage metering and AI credit accounting, including accuracy, auditability, latency, and cost of the metering pipeline itself
- Partner with Product to shape a platform roadmap driven by real product and customer needs
