## About the role

AlphaSense runs a large-scale, Kubernetes-native platform built on a modern microservices architecture, serving the majority of the Fortune 500. We're now moving it into a cell-based architecture, where each cell is an independent deployment of the platform, and the cell count is heading from dozens toward hundreds, including private and isolated clouds.

## What they're looking for

- Deep hands-on architecture experience in large microservice estates, at least in hundreds
- Strong in Java and Python, and willing to contribute to other tech stacks if needed
- Track record decomposing large service estates into sub-systems that can evolve independently
- Proven experience designing for horizontal scalability across regions and independent deployments
- Experience with cell-based, multi-tenant or multi-region architectures
- Strong cloud-native background: Kubernetes, containers and AWS
