Collaborate on modern web experiences, ensuring smooth state management, reusable UI patterns, and resilient backend services. * Model data and ship performant Postgres queries (migrations, indexing, connection mgmt, query optimization). * Architect multiregion deployments: traffic routing, latency budgets, failover/DR, config & secrets, and rollout strategies. * Build for international audiences: i18n/l10n pipelines, time-zone correctness, and data residency considerations. * Instrument services with logs/metrics/traces (OpenTelemetry or similar) and drive incident ready observability. * Champion accessibility (WCAG aware UI), testing (unit/integration/e2e), CI/CD, and code reviews. * Mentor peers, collaborate with Product/Design, and contribute to technical direction. WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW/HAVE: * 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. * A strong full-stack or T-shaped engineering background, with a clear interest and motivation to work across both frontend (React) and backend (Node.js/TypeScript) environments. * Product-oriented mindset, with the ability to create and iterate on both Greenfield features, and features that millions of learners rely on each day. * Strong Postgres chops (schema design, query tuning, migrations, understanding of transactions and isolation). * Security mindset (authN/Z, OAuth/OIDC, secrets, OWASP), plus familiarity with FERPA/GDPR implications in edtech. * Excellent communication, product sense, and a bias for shipping. IT WOULD BE A BONUS IF YOU ALSO HAD: * Experience with building LMS tools, especially Canvas. * A passion for continuing education and lifelong learning.
