Software Engineer II

ABOUT US:

Since 1988, the company has produced continuing education courses for nurses, pharmacists and accountants. We run a learning management system that corporate training teams use to assign, track and report on courses. Style guide reviews are part of every project.

THE ROLE:

We are adding a Software Engineer II to our Search team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. Remote within the US. The team meets in Memphis once a quarter, travel covered. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

IN YOUR FIRST FEW MONTHS YOU WILL:

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• 2+ years of professional software development experience
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up

WHAT YOU GET:

Pay range: $128,000 to $164,000 annually. Final offer will depend on experience.

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) with 4% match
• Three weeks of PTO to start

Start: Flexible.
