Staff Software Engineer

Role Description

Staff Software Engineers within HMH Labs oversee feature development and maintenance throughout the software development lifecycle. Beyond core engineering responsibilities, they influence multiple teams, contribute to architectural decisions, and help shape technical direction and prioritization. They maintain a strong awareness of broader business goals, ensuring alignment between technical solutions and organizational objectives. Additionally, they mentor fellow engineers and proactively identify and resolve complex challenges related to system performance, scalability, security, and reliability.

HMH Labs is a small, highly agile group within HMH, whose engineers operate with considerable autonomy. This is excellent for self-starters and independent problem solvers but would not be ideal if you prefer a more structured environment. You will report directly to an SVP and enjoy frequent collaboration with senior leaders, engineers, subject matter experts, and classroom success/support personnel.

Qualifications

• BA/BS degree preferred.
• Full-stack development experience.
• Considerable experience as a senior level (or higher) developer/engineer.
• Self-motivated with ability to take direction, seek input, and work independently.
• Able to work remotely.
• Working hours aligned with US time zones (UTC -5/-8).

Requirements

• Tools/Technologies You will Use:
• Front end work in HTML5.
• Backend work with ASP.NET MVC, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
• May also work with Angular, React, Java, and various libraries and tools for integrations with other HMH properties.
• A wide array of tools for AI development work.

Benefits

• Salary range: 150k – 170k.
