Impact the Moment

We're looking for a Sr. Software Engineer to join our K-12 Assessment engineering team. Do you enjoy testing the limits of possibility? At McGraw Hill, our Sr. Software Engineers (Full Stack) drive progress and help build the future of learning. If you have the passion and technical expertise to thrive in an innovative and agile environment, we want to learn more about you.

Your Impact on the Team

We're looking for people who like problem solving, exhibit independent creativity, and function cooperatively on a team. As a team member at McGraw Hill, you have a sense of personal accountability, a curiosity to research new technologies and methodologies, and a pervasive desire to dig into complex issues while respecting timelines and team commitments. By building the next set of platform capabilities and a wealth of interactive and engaging digital resources, you will support instruction for our newest programs and products at McGraw Hill.

Engineers in this role will build front-end web interfaces and back-end application code and APIs across our portfolio. This is a "full stack" role, so we are looking for people with experience in both front-end and back-end modern web development.

This position will entail designing and developing services and web applications.

This is a remote position open to applicants authorized to work for any employer within the United States.

What can you expect from the position?

• Hands-on software development experience with a focus on continuous delivery and deployment, enterprise application development, cloud automation, and building a container-hosting platform
• Architect, design, build, and deliver highly available, scalable, and resilient and establish clear service boundaries and contracts between different systems.
• Work collaboratively with product managers and engineering leaders with the expectation of driving solutions with them.
• Provide documentation, guidance, and support to teams on target architectures and engineering best practices that enhance education.

What can you bring to the role?

• 5+ years of software development experience
• You thrive learning new technologies and problem-solving with curiosity and urgency
• You think like a customer, understanding their pain points. You believe in understanding why work is being done and empathizing with the users, not just implementing code and moving onto the next task.
• You build front ends with the needs of our users in mind, partnering with our UX team members to build the best experiences for our teachers, students, and other personas.
• Alignment to our stack (described further in this posting) is nice, but diversity of experience is better.
• Strong front end development experience (deep Angular experience preferred).
