Requirements

  • High-achieving recent graduate with a degree in a STEM subject, but we’re happy to work with people who perfected their craft via a different route.
  • Proven track record – you have clear accomplishments both in and out of university, standing out from your peers.
  • Technical familiarity with Frontend: at least one Frontend framework, ideally React. Backend: at least one programming language (we use Kotlin and a bit of Ruby), and ideally experience with relational databases.
  • Highly driven and proactive – you relentlessly and independently push through hurdles and drive towards excellent outcomes.
  • Meticulous – you hold high standards and have an obsessive attention to detail.

Responsibilities

  • Design solutions: Define the best technical solutions to business problems, contributing to an architectural vision that will scale up to be the world’s leading research platform.
  • Ship working code: We primarily work with React and NextJS on the front end and Kotlin microservices with Postgres on the backend, with some older services written in Ruby on Rails. We’ve always got an eye open to assess new technologies that might improve our stack.
  • Deploy and iterate: We release frequently to our customers, using CIrcleCI and Spinnaker for CI/CD, and quickly gather feedback in order to inform our next iteration.
  • Build your competency: You will learn quickly by building market-leading technology with experienced colleagues in a high performance environment. Engineers can also use our L&D budget to fast-track development of specific technical competencies.
  • Maintenance and troubleshooting: Carefully monitor our services, catching errors before users notice them, diagnosing the root cause and deploying fixes.

Culture & Values

  • Results-Orientation

    Are you energized by results and outcomes? We focus on results — look at every angle of a problem, come up with actionable solutions, and execute on ideas that maximize outcomes. Our success is driven by how much value we provide to our internal and external clients and other stakeholders. Wherever we can, we tie rewards to results and outcomes.

  • Drive

    Do you excel beyond what’s asked of you? For us, success begins at the extra mile: we embrace a whatever-it-takes mindset, push ourselves beyond our comfort zones, and challenge ourselves to continuously improve.

  • Adaptability

    Do you thrive in an ever-changing environment? Our work is full of changing circumstances so we pivot quickly and think on our feet. We embrace ambiguity and change with confidence and positivity.

  • Humility

    Do you view yourself as a constant ‘work-in-progress’? We believe that yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games. We approach every day not with a sense of entitlement, but with a growth mindset. We believe that a better version of ourselves and AlphaSights is always on the horizon.

  • Empathy

    Can you see the world through other’s eyes? We believe that the path to our own success starts from the success of others — our clients, our colleagues, and our industry professionals. We actively seek to understand others’ experiences and perspectives, and to build and maintain lasting, trust-based relationships with those whom we encounter.
