  • Build dynamic, responsive, and accessible user interfaces using React that enhance the learning experience for students and instructors
  • Develop scalable, high-performance backend services and RESTful APIs to support frontend functionality
  • Collaborate closely with Product, UX, QA, and other engineers to deliver cohesive, user-centered solutions
  • Write clean, maintainable, and testable code, demonstrating modern frontend patterns (hooks, component composition) and scalable backend practices
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the stack, including UI bugs, API failures, and performance bottlenecks
  • Contribute to platform modernization efforts, including frontend architecture evolution and backend service improvements

Skills You Will Need Here:

  • Experience integrating with or consuming AI-powered services (e.g., APIs for generative AI or intelligent workflows)
  • Demonstrated ability to apply AI tools in day-to-day engineering workflows (e.g., code generation, refactoring, test creation, CI/CD augmentation)
  • Practical experience working with agentic AI workflows, including using LLMs to perform multi-step tasks, invoke tools/APIs, and integrate with existing systems

Architecture & Cloud Platforms
  • Experience building and consuming APIs that integrate legacy systems with modern solutions
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization technologies (Docker; Kubernetes a plus)

Software Engineering & Product Delivery
  • Experience developing full-stack applications using Java (Spring/Spring Boot) and modern JavaScript (ReactJS)
  • Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including testing, debugging, and performance optimization
  • Experience working in agile environments (Scrum, Kanban), contributing to iterative delivery

Collaboration & Communication
  • Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross functional and distributed teams
  • Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly and contribute to team discussions and decision-making
  • Willingness to learn, take ownership, and continuously improve both individually and as part of a team

Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 2-5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with exposure to full-stack development
