About the Role

We are seeking a Principal Design Engineer to play a key role in shaping the future of AlphaSense’s product experience. This is a senior individual contributor role, where you’ll lead through craft, systems thinking, and technical excellence, building AI-powered experiences that feel tailored, intelligent, and essential to our customers’ workflows. You will operate at the intersection of design, engineering, and product strategy, translating complex, data-rich problems into high-quality, production-ready experiences. As a senior member of the Design team, you’ll act as a multiplier—mentoring others, guiding technical and design decisions, and strengthening the connection between user needs, business goals, and engineering realities. In this role, you will help define that standard—through the systems you build, the experiences you ship, and the team you help elevate.

Responsibilities

Create high-fidelity, coded prototypes and interaction models that bring complex, AI-powered workflows to life and clearly communicate product direction.
Own high-impact initiatives from concept through production, shipping experiences that reflect strong design thinking, technical rigor, and a deep understanding of customer workflows.
Lead technical design discussions, make architectural decisions, and guide cross-team implementation efforts.
Advance AlphaSense’s design system as a core piece of product infrastructure—defining scalable patterns, enabling consistency, and accelerating teams building across AI-native experiences.
Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to research and evaluate user requirements, translate them into effective designs, and ensure that the final product meets both user and business needs.
Collaborate with engineering teams during development, advocating for design quality and user experience by championing design fidelity and attention to detail throughout the development lifecycle.
Act as a senior leader within the Design team, mentoring designers and engineers, raising the bar for craft, and contributing to a strong, collaborative design culture.
Serve as connective tissue across design, product, and engineering—helping teams navigate tradeoffs between technical constraints, business goals, and user experience to deliver high-quality outcomes.

Requirements

12+ years of experience in product design, design/UX/front-end engineering, design systems, or a related discipline.
Hands-on experience with modern front-end technologies (e.g., HTML/CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React) and evolving design systems.
Experience building AI and agentic experiences, and you are already leveraging AI to speed up and augment your end-to-end design and development process.
Expertise with modern AI technologies and ability to apply them to design problems (e.g., MCP, Claude Code, Codex, Skills).
Experience shipping production-ready experiences and influencing technical and design choices across teams.
Strong understanding of user-centered design principles, end-to-end customer workflows, and the ability to turn new users into habitual users.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Demonstrated experience in project leadership, mentorship, and providing constructive feedback to foster professional growth.
