Summary from the posting
AlphaSense runs a large-scale, Kubernetes-native platform built on a modern microservices architecture, serving the majority of the Fortune 500. We are moving it to a cell-based architecture, where each cell is an independent deployment of the platform.
The hardest part is data. Our platform relies on a broad ecosystem of data platforms and storage systems, including Vespa, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Redis, ScyllaDB, PostgreSQL, Temporal, and Kafka, to name a few. This role is focused on the Data Platform: the capabilities that let engineering teams build, run, and scale their storage at large scale without each team becoming an expert in every system.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on AlphaSense's own career page.
