What if your next release made it easier for someone to learn a new skill, change careers, or get back into education?

• We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build and improve digital learning platforms that expand access to education. You’ll get the variety of a startup-style product team, with room to shape the architecture, ship features yourself, and help other engineers grow. If you enjoy turning a rough idea into a working feature and making the next release easier for everyone, you’ll have plenty to dig into here. Location Tempe, AZ

• 6-month Contract to hire
• Hybrid role - 3 days a week on-site, 2 days a week at home
• Hourly rate and then salary conversion after contract terms

What you’ll get to build

• Turn learner needs and early product ideas into technical designs, then break the work into features the team can ship and test in stages.
• Stay hands-on from design through production. Write code and tests, own releases, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues.
• Design and improve the systems behind the product, including AWS infrastructure, APIs, data storage, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Make life easier for fellow developers by automating repetitive work, improving test coverage, and writing runbooks people can actually use.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to set sprint priorities, explain technical trade-offs, and make time for security, reliability, and code quality.
• Mentor junior engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and hands-on problem-solving.

• A bachelor’s degree and five years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of experience and training.
• Ideally, at least three years building software on a product team, with experience delivering work in Agile sprints.
• Strong software architecture and troubleshooting skills, plus the ability to turn an ambiguous request into a clear plan.
• 3+ years of Experience with AWS and familiarity with automated testing and CI/CD.
• 5+ years of Experience with some of the technologies used across the team, including TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, Vue.js, Nuxt.js, Python, and PHP.
• Clear communication skills and an interest in helping other engineers get better at their craft.

Sound like your kind of work? Apply with your rsum. We’d love to hear about a feature you took from idea to production or a system you left better than you found it.
