About us:

As a charter network of 25 schools, the organisation runs campuses in several cities.

Prairie Unified School District has an opening for a Software Engineer (Developer Tools). This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people.

Job duties:

• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.

What you'll need:

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
