About the Role
AlphaSense is building a new Desktop Software Engineering function within Corporate Technology, and we are looking for the manager who will shape it from the ground up. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise endpoint engineering and internal product quality — primarily responsible for ensuring that AlphaSense's own desktop applications behave reliably on every managed endpoint across the company, while also contributing to the team responsible for macOS and Windows device management at scale.
This is not a traditional IT management role. You will lead a team of engineers (not generalist support technicians) who own MDM platforms, write automation, and serve as the technical bridge between Corporate IT and the product engineering organization. As the founding manager of this function, you will define how the team operates, how work gets prioritized, and how the team earns trust with both the internal IT organization and the engineering teams you partner with.
You'll report to the Senior Manager of Integrated IT and work closely with Security, Business Applications, and Information Engineering teams as part of AlphaSense's broader Secure IT initiative.
About You
You've been the most technical person in the room in IT settings, and you've also successfully made the shift to leading a team — without losing your instincts for what good engineering looks like. You're energized by building something new: defining how a function should work, earning trust with peers across the organization, and growing engineers who are proud of the quality of their work. You hold a high bar for documentation, automation, and root cause analysis, and you bring that standard to everything the team produces. You're not looking for a role where you just manage tickets — you want to build something.
