We're looking for a talented and motivated Software Engineer II to join our Web Platform Team and help build the foundations that enable teams across the organization to deliver modern, scalable, and accessible web experiences. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working on platform architecture, developer experience, build systems, and engineering enablement. Rather than focusing on individual product features, you'll build and maintain the shared frameworks, libraries, tooling, and deployment capabilities that power WGU's Angular-based web applications. You'll work closely with application teams, architects, DevOps engineers, and fellow platform engineers to improve development workflows, establish engineering standards, and ensure our front-end ecosystem remains scalable, maintainable, and efficient. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who wants to deepen their expertise in modern web technologies, platform engineering, CI/CD automation, and large-scale enterprise front-end architecture while supporting a mission-driven organization focused on student success. What You'll Do * Design, develop, and maintain shared front-end libraries, tooling, and platform services used across multiple engineering teams * Build and support enterprise-scale Angular applications and reusable UI components * Contribute to the architecture and maintenance of Nx monorepos and shared codebases * Improve developer experience through automation, tooling, documentation, and engineering best practices * Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and related DevOps tooling * Support deployment and release processes using Octopus Deploy and ArgoCD * Establish and promote front-end standards for code quality, testing, accessibility, performance, and maintainability * Collaborate with application teams to identify platform needs and reduce development friction * Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards and architecture discussions * Troubleshoot and resolve issues involving build systems, deployment pipelines, development tooling, and platform infrastructure * Monitor platform health and continuously improve reliability, scalability, and developer productivity * Contribute to an Agile engineering culture focused on continuous improvement, innovation, and operational excellence, * Work with modern Angular, TypeScript, Nx, GitHub Actions, and cloud technologies * Influence engineering standards, platform architecture, and development practices * Collaborate with talented engineers in a supportive and mission-driven environment * Help improve educational outcomes by enabling teams to deliver high-quality digital experiences at scale ## Related Videos - [Web development best practices in 2021](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/280-web-development-best-practices-in-2021) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Making Teaching Code Less Academic and More Market-Ready - Peter Ruppel](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1911-making-teaching-code-less-academic-and-more-market-ready-peter-ruppel) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What’s the Difference Between Frontend and Backend Development?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/240-what-s-the-difference-between-frontend-and-backend-development) - [What is a web developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/18-what-is-a-web-developer)
