## Description

The Software Engineer will help build and evolve the shared platform capabilities that power U.S. Soccer's Soccer Services and Learning Center experiences. Rather than building isolated applications or one-off features, this engineer will create reusable components, services, content models, and workflow patterns that can be composed across public, authenticated, learner, and administrator experiences serving coaches, referees, educators, Organization Members, players, parents, and other participants
across the country.
The work spans education, course management, licensing and certification, member and organization services, registration and application workflows, safeguarding and compliance, content delivery, and administrative operations. This engineer will extend proven patterns across clear boundaries between experience, content, identity, and operational systems; make U.S. Soccer's design, accessibility, security, reliability, and performance standards the default; and modernize existing workflows incrementally
while maintaining reliable service for current users.
The ideal candidate is a systems-oriented full-stack engineer who is comfortable moving between user facing interfaces, server-side workflows, APIs, data, integrations, and production troubleshooting. They care about making complex processes understandable, view accessibility and reliability as product requirements, and work closely with product, design, content and curriculum, operations, and subject-matter experts to build new capabilities, integrate existing systems, and operate the resulting software
in production.
Depending on the product area, this engineer may work with technologies such as Go, PHP/Laravel, JavaScript and TypeScript, Sanity, PostgreSQL, Auth0/OIDC, AWS, containers and Kubernetes, and CDN/edge delivery. We do not expect candidates to arrive as experts in every part of the stack; strong web fundamentals, engineering judgment, and the ability to learn are more important.
Primary Responsibilities

 * Own production features end to end across Soccer Services and the Learning Center-from discovery and implementation through testing, release, monitoring, and iteration.
 * Create reusable platform building blocks-including user-interface components, service patterns, content models, templates, and workflow patterns-that solve shared problems and can be adopted across products.
 * Deliver learner- and administrator-facing experiences such as dashboards, course modules, video review, assessment and certification flows, renewals, progress tracking, in-person clinic logistics, and administrative tools; translate complex requirements involving profiles, organizations, registrations, credentials, eligibility, documents, and approvals into clear, maintainable software.
 * Develop responsive and accessible user interfaces and reusable components aligned with U.S. Soccer's design system, building for variable connectivity, older devices, media-rich content, and a broad range of screen sizes and browsers.
 * Build and maintain backend services, APIs, data models, and integrations across identity, content, learning, member, analytics, and third-party systems, using clear contracts that support incremental modernization and compatibility with existing workflows.
 * Partner with product, design, content and curriculum, data, and operational experts across Coaching Education, Refereeing, Safeguarding, Soccer Services, and U.S. Soccer's member ecosystem; help define requirements, acceptance criteria, and measurable outcomes.
 * Protect security, privacy, role-based access, auditability, and data integrity, including during migrations and integrations.
 * Improve automated testing, performance, scalability, resilience, and observability; monitor production health, diagnose incidents, and deliver durable fixes.
 * Participate in code and architecture reviews, technical planning, estimation, documentation, and disciplined release practices while communicating tradeoffs, dependencies, and delivery risk clearly.
