What You’ll Do

As a Software Engineer II on a cross-functional engineering squad for our confidential client, you will design, build, and operate features that support educators at scale. You will own work end-to-end — from design and implementation to monitoring and follow-up — and contribute to team-level decisions on tradeoffs, complexity, and quality.

• Build and ship product features across the stack (React front end; C#/.NET Core or Python back end) from design through operation
• Drive design discussions with concrete tradeoffs on performance, complexity, blast radius, and time-to-ship
• Close open questions by spiking, scripting, or prototyping to move the team forward
• Operate what you build: instrument systems, respond to alerts, and resolve post-release issues
• Conduct and participate in rigorous code review; improve code quality and test coverage
• Pick up technical debt, alerting gaps, and missing tests when you notice them
• Use AI-assisted tools responsibly to accelerate tasks while owning delivered results
