• Collaborating across engineering and product teams to align technical implementation with product and business requirements
• Establishing standards for observability, including logging, metrics, and tracing across production systems
• Improving deployment and operational workflows through better provisioning, configuration management, and monitoring
• Identifying and eliminating operational bottlenecks, helping the platform increase resilience, automate recovery, and reduce manual intervention
• Taking ownership of product and feature delivery, developing and releasing in a manner that increases deployment frequency, reduces cycle time, and failure rate
• Driving continuous improvement of reliability and performance across APIs, services, and frontend integrations
• Providing technical leadership for other engineers, ensuring their contributions are meaningful to our delivery so that they grow as developers

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field
• Strong communication skills, and be able to work closely with both technical and non-technical parts in the organization while always increasing clarity and reducing ambiguity

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to break down the development of products and features into manageable, iterative releases
• Experience with troubleshooting and debugging complex systems across multiple layers of the stack
• Comfortable working in an evolving technical ecosystem, improving legacy codebases while guiding the platform through modernization and incremental migration toward modern patterns
• 6+ years of software development experience, with a strong focus on building web applications with Node.js and TypeScript
• Possess a deep understanding of the fundamentals: HTML, JavaScript, client/server architecture, state management, and security principles
• High proficiency with React, Vue, or other Single Page Application (SPA) technologies
• Foundational knowledge of REST API development
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL database design and optimization
• Understanding of distributed system communication patterns, including asynchronous messaging, data pipelines, and event-driven workflows
• Experience with event-driven architectures and message brokers (e.g., SQS, SNS, Kafka, WebSockets, or similar)
• Ability to reason about system reliability, fault tolerance, and resilience in production environments
• Familiarity with logging, metrics, tracing, and observability best practices
• Familiarity with integration and unit testing
• Strong experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and Linux OS environments.

Preferred

• Experience in K-12 education technology or a related field
• Experience with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and computer networking
• Strong understanding of security protocols and best practices in software development
• Experience designing or maintaining distributed systems, especially those spanning on-prem and cloud environments
• Experience with IoT platforms or concepts (e.g., AWS IoT Core, device shadows, edge computing, or similar)
• Familiarity with hardware-software integration, device provisioning, or embedded system workflows
