About the Role:

AlphaSense has spent more than a decade helping professionals find, trust, and synthesize market intelligence. With SuperAnalyst, we are expanding that foundation into continuous, decision-ready execution: workflows that monitor change, update outputs, and surface what matters as situations evolve. Mobile is a critical part of that future because the moments that matter do not only happen when customers are sitting at a desktop.

Android is an important surface for that future because continuous, decision-ready workflows need to feel fast, secure, and reliable across phones, foldables, and managed enterprise environments.

As a Senior Staff Android Engineer, you will set technical direction for Android and the mobile-facing systems that shape product quality across customer workflows. You will work from deep Android expertise while influencing the architecture, standards, and system contracts that help teams build reliable native experiences across initiatives.

This is a hands-on Senior Staff role with significant architectural ownership, multi-team leverage, and long-term product impact. You will help teams move faster while preserving the quality, reliability, and trust that enterprise mobile experiences require, including by shaping how AI-enabled development changes mobile engineering.

What You'll Do:

• Set Android-rooted mobile-system direction: Define the technical direction for Android and the mobile-facing systems that make AlphaSense experiences fast, reliable, secure, and easier to evolve across teams.
• Lead through hands-on Android system design: Turn complex mobile-system problems into durable production architecture grounded in deep Android expertise.
• Scale reliability and execution practices: Shape how mobile work is designed, reviewed, tested, shipped, and operated across initiatives, including the automation, observability, rollout practices, and AI-enabled validation needed to move quickly with confidence.
• Create durable mobile-facing system contracts: Help teams define the boundaries, ownership, and operating expectations that let mobile-facing systems evolve without pushing hidden complexity into native clients.
• Raise mobile-system judgment across teams: Turn complex mobile-system work into reusable standards and stronger engineering judgment for the teams building native experiences.

What Were looking for:

Required:

• Deep expertise in modern production Android architecture, with a track record of setting technical standards beyond one feature team.
• Ability to represent mobile platform principles from a deep Android base, with enough iOS fluency to shape cross-functional architecture decisions where backend, web, and product choices affect identity, reliability, release quality, observability, and native product outcomes.
• Experience shaping mobile-facing platform contracts or backend service boundaries that improve product quality across native and adjacent client surfaces.
• Ability to read, debug, and contribute to backend systems when needed to unblock mobile-facing outcomes.
• Experience shaping AI-enabled engineering systems that improve validation, product quality, and delivery confidence across teams.
• Strong reliability and release-quality judgment across production mobile systems, with experience raising quality standards across multiple initiatives.
• Track record making engineers around you better by turning complex mobile-system work into clear standards, reusable patterns, and stronger technical judgment across teams.
• Excellent product judgment and communication skills, including the ability to connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and align teams around durable technical decisions.

Preferred:

• Experience building Android product experiences across varied device and form-factor contexts, such as foldables, wearables, Android Auto, or other platform-native surfaces.
• Experience with enterprise mobile environments where identity, device management, compliance, or security constraints shape architecture, including MDM/EMM.
• Experience shaping mobile design-system foundations and design-to-code workflows that improve consistency, accessibility, development velocity, and AI-assisted UI generation across native platforms.
