Software Engineer III Academic Product

Profile

What We’re Looking For:
Engineering with the Content Creation team works like a junction box; there are many inputs coming in that we just turn into many outputs. This creates a unique, dynamic and challenging engineering environment. This means wearing different hats from time to time ( “I only do backend” does not work well ) and dealing with stakeholders from time to time.
We are looking for someone who does not mind wearing more than one hat from time to time. A good candidate will be self-organizing and autonomous. One be able to consume new information and be able to disseminate what information is a key requirement and what is not.
You will participate in cross-functional projects and help debug software. You will be asked to lean towards a “stable” system; data-integrity is paramount at Content Creation over “performance”.
Content Creation builds and maintains the Course Outline/Syllabus and the LTI platform that allows our data to be utilized both internally and with 3rd party Client/Tools such as GitHub Classrooms and others. Thus, data integrity is paramount and is an interesting challenge as most software applications push performance over data.
Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To:
Light Mentorship of Team Members
Write maintainable code that supports a stable data environment
Conduct exploratory testing and investigations
Efficiently debug complex problems
Help with technical design of applications
Plan and estimate short term projects
Things That Should Be In Your Background:
NodeJS and/or React
Node HTTP Web Framework (e.g. express, hapi, etc.)
Some AWS
Some Docker or container orchestration
Experience tooling applications for proper monitoring
Other Attributes That Will Help You In This Role:
Detail oriented
Able to quickly understand business requirements and recognize when they are incomplete or ambiguous.
Strong communication
Able to provide succinct updates on work progress and raise blockers early.
Leadership
Being interested in mentoring more junior members and willing to advocate for better/smarter processes, system designs, architecture for the team and our services.
