About the Team:

Our diverse Product & Engineering team values innovation, collaboration, and the continuous improvement of our platform. We offer a dynamic work environment where employees can grow and thrive while working on cutting-edge technology that shapes the future of AI and search.

At AlphaSense, we believe that diverse experiences and perspectives are critical to our success. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where all employees feel valued and empowered to be their authentic selves.

About the Role:

AlphaSense is moving beyond search toward AI-powered decision workflows and proactive intelligence that help professionals understand markets, monitor change, and act with confidence. Mobile is a critical part of that shift: our customers need trusted intelligence in fast-moving moments, not only when they are sitting at a desktop.

As a Senior Staff iOS Engineer, you will set technical direction from a native Apple home base for the systems that determine mobile quality at scale. You will shape the architecture, quality bar, and engineering foundations for iPhone and iPad today, while helping define how mobile, backend platforms, identity, release practices, and adjacent product systems work together as customer workflows expand.

This is a hands-on Senior Staff role with significant architectural ownership, multi-team leverage, and long-term product impact. You will help define how AlphaSense builds high-trust native experiences for enterprise customers who expect security, reliability, and polish by default, and raise the standard for how complex mobile-facing systems are designed, validated, and shipped across teams.

You will also help define how AI-enabled development changes mobile engineering at scale. The best version of this role is not just building with AI tools. It is setting the mobile-wide guardrails, validation practices, and engineering systems that let AlphaSense move faster without lowering the bar for quality or trust.

What you'll do:

• Set mobile-facing system direction from an iOS home base: Define the architecture, standards, and technical direction that keep AlphaSense on iOS fast, reliable, secure, and maintainable while raising the bar for the application and platform systems mobile depends on.
• Lead through hands-on system design: Work deeply in Swift, SwiftUI, Swift concurrency, and mobile architecture, translating ambiguous product, platform, and backend problems into production-ready systems that teams can build against.
• 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.
• Raise the bar for mobile-facing system contracts: Define and drive standards for client-serving APIs, backend service boundaries, BFF-style systems, authentication and session flows, startup/config behavior, failure modes, performance expectations, and ownership boundaries, so teams can design, validate, and evolve systems that protect mobile quality across domains.
• Mentor and multiply at Staff+ level: Elevate Staff, Senior, and mid-level engineers across mobile and adjacent technical teams through architecture reviews, API and system design reviews, technical guidance, and reusable decision practices that make higher standards easier to apply across native clients, backend APIs, reliability work, and AI-enabled validation.

What We´re looking for:

Required

• Deep expertise in iOS platform architecture, modular design, performance, security, reliability, SwiftUI, and modern Swift concurrency in production systems, with a track record of setting standards beyond one feature team.
• Ability to reason across the application and platform systems mobile depends on, including Android constraints, backend API behavior, authentication and session flows, startup/config behavior, release risks, observability, testing strategy, identity/platform dependencies, and client/backend service contracts.
• Experience shaping client-serving API strategy, backend service boundaries, or BFF-style systems that improve product quality across mobile and adjacent client surfaces.
• Ability to read, debug, and contribute to backend APIs or BFF-style systems in stacks such as Java/Kotlin, Spring Boot, Node.js, or Python when needed to unblock mobile-facing outcomes.
• Experience shaping AI-assisted development workflows, AI harnesses, evaluation practices, or AI-driven testing systems that improve engineering velocity, product quality, and regression confidence across teams.
• Strong reliability and release-quality judgment, including experience defining testing strategy, automation, observability, CI/CD, rollout practices, and production mobile quality standards across multiple initiatives.
• Track record of leading ambiguous, multi-team technical initiatives, setting engineering standards, mentoring Staff and Senior engineers, and raising the technical bar across teams whose systems affect mobile outcomes.
• Excellent product judgment and communication skills, including the ability to connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and align teams through RFCs, ADRs, technical plans, decision records, or reusable decision frameworks.

Preferred:

• Experience with iPadOS, macOS, or multi-platform Apple product experiences.
• Experience with enterprise mobile application development, MDM/MAM, or regulated customer environments.
• 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.
