Job Description

We’re looking to place a Senior Software Development Engineer with a cross functional team using the latest development technologies and agile practices. This is not a cross-fit team full of agile bros, just to be clear. This is a great opportunity with a great company with a start-up type feel. You know, in-office gym, office sports leagues, casual feel, and of course great pay and benefits.

Your role:

• You’ll be a magician of product experiences. Instead of cutting a human in half, you’ll make the technical and complex simple and effortless – PRESTO!
• Participate in all aspects of the software life-cycle, from ideation through development and including production support
• Mentor, educate, and lead other
• Collaborate deeply with a cross functional team of Engineers, UX, Product and Operations. You will do more than just write code
• Leverage practices such as Continuous Integration/ Continuous Deployment, Pairing, and Test Driven Development to deliver early and often
• Sometimes you’ll be late and infrequent, but not a lot or too soon… occasionally
• Actively engage with the education community to understand product needs
• Apply Lean Startup/Agile approaches to software development
• Work in an open space environment (no cube walls, or fences, or slats)

What you’ve got:

• BS in a related field or equivalent experience
• Experience with C# and at least one other modern language, multiple strongly preferred (e.g. Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby)
• Knowledge of full development stack (e.g. UX, Web, API, Data, Business Logic)
• Experience developing in Azure or other cloud services
• Awareness of web development best practices (e.g. MVC, REST, JavaScript)
• Familiarity with agile methods. Scrum and XP preferred
• Passion for self-driven, continuous learning, both in and out of the office, at home, at the club, in the store, and around the corner and back again
• Leadership qualities and capabilities
• Opinionated on technology, in theory, but flexible in practice
• Passion for Education is a must; experience in Ed-Tech helpful, but not required
• Passion for passionfruit is a plus
• Experience developing for mobile preferred, but not required
• Have a great day!
