Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. iT1 Nucleos is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build and own significant parts of its learning platform while growing toward an engineering leadership role. The role involves full-stack product development, production AI features, platform architecture and reliability, integrations, and mentoring engineers.
Responsibilities
- Build across the stack. Ship production features end to end, from the user interface through the API and the data layer
- Ship AI features. Help shape how AI shows up in the product, along with the evaluation and guardrails that make it appropriate for education and corrections use
- Own work end to end. Take meaningful parts of the platform and own them from design through delivery and ongoing reliability, including how they run across our multi-tenant, per-customer deployments
- Solve integration problems. Bring the learning applications and content providers our customers rely on into one coherent experience, including systems that were never designed to be integrated
- Grow into leadership. Mentor engineers, help set our engineering standards and code review culture, and grow into an engineering leadership role as we scale
- Help scale the product. Contribute to a ground-up product redesign and to scaling the platform as we expand into adult education and workforce development
Skills
- Six or more years building production software, with full-stack range and a record of shipping significant work end to end. You can take an ambiguous problem and drive it to done
- A hands-on builder. You write and review code every day and want to keep doing that as your scope and influence grow
- Production experience with AI and LLM features, including how you evaluated them and what you changed as a result
- Strong TypeScript and JavaScript across the front end and the server side, and solid relational database and API design. Comfortability with Rust, networking, and proxy design
- Comfort operating in cloud-native environments, including containers, orchestration, and CI/CD
- A strong problem solver. You break down messy, poorly defined problems and find pragmatic solutions
- Good with customers and a strong communicator. You are comfortable talking directly to the people who use what we build, and you explain technical tradeoffs clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike
- Product judgment. You think about the learner and the program rather than only the ticket, and you bring ideas about what we should build next
- The trajectory to grow into engineering leadership as the team scales, and the communication and judgment to work well in a distributed team that runs on trust rather than process
- Genuine investment in the mission. You want your work to expand access to education and economic opportunity for the people we serve
- Must live in and have authorization to work in the United States or a US territory
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
- Ability to balance product outcomes, user needs, security, reliability, and delivery priorities
- Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and exercise sound judgment with limited oversight
- Collaborative approach, professional communication style, and commitment to documentation and knowledge sharing
- Interest in expanding access to education and economic opportunity through technology
- Systems-level work in a compiled language such as Rust or Go, or the appetite to learn one
- Experience with browser automation, browser extensions, or network-level software
- Experience working closely with an offshore or India-based engineering team
- Background in education technology, or in secure or otherwise regulated environments
- Experience mentoring engineers or assuming technical leadership responsibilities
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits with highly subsidized premiums
- Two weeks paid time off in your first year, with increasing PTO as tenure increases
- Most major holidays off
- 401(k) Plan with employer match
- Remote position within the United States. Remote is defined as your home location when hired.
