Your contributions will focus on our learning management SaaS products.

This position reports to the Software Engineering Manager and collaborates with senior leadership from the product and engineering departments.

The team you will join focuses on delivering high-quality (low escaped defects), well-tested (Cypress/Selenium automation framework with focus on unit test coverage), secure (scanned and verified), scalable (AWS, but hardware isn’t the answer) software that delivers exceptional experiences for our clients.  This is a great opportunity to join a growing company, be part of an excellent team, architect solutions to complex problems, and deliver valuable features where clean code matters. 

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

• Be a teammate, communicate well, show up when expected, and be available.
• Write secure code. Avoid introducing an OWASP vulnerability. Know how APIs are secured, sessions are handled, and data is validated properly.
• Work in an agile development model and participate in or even lead sprint planning activities to break down epics, estimating accurately and consistently.
• Look for and surface dependencies that can create technical challenges, bottlenecks, or otherwise inhibit deliveries.
• Build reliable observability; monitor and log alerts to ensure the team is aware of, and can respond to, quality issues or outages.
• Help other teammates resolve complex problems or think through design/architecture challenges. Be available and responsive.
• Foster an excellent engineering culture based on trust, accountability, character, and honesty.
• Seek feedback and deliver constructive criticism (e.g., code reviews) tactfully and empathetically; build others up and mentor without ego.
• Proactively move to new cards/stories and contribute to the team’s forward momentum.
• Maintain multiple microservices, including upgrading them to the latest versions of their core language.
• Remediate security risks found via penetration tests and scans.

Requirements & Skills

• Possess a bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, or Information Systems is preferred.
• Have a minimum of 5 years of software engineering experience with SaaS applications.
