## Description

Over the past five years, FranklinCovey has rapidly evolved from a traditional training company to a premier edtech leader. In 2018, we transitioned to a digital, subscription-based model through the launch of our All Access Pass.

Since then, our Platforms team has accelerated innovation by delivering world-class solutions like the Impact Platform and AI Coach, now localized and enhanced for global learners.

We've modernized how leadership and organizational training happens, with thousands of companies using our tools to scale high-trust cultures and drive measurable behavior change. Join our Platforms team to help us expand this momentum-building the systems behind the most trusted leadership company in the world.

As a Software Engineer, you will build products to help organizations train their employees and overcome their most pressing people-related problems at scale. You will work with product, design, data, and content teams to build a modern learning platform with an emphasis on performance and scalability.
