Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Ellevation Education develops software that helps educators manage English Learner programs. The Software Engineer II builds and operates full-stack product features, contributes to technical design and code review, and maintains the quality and reliability of shipped software.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship product features across React, .NET Core/Python, and supporting infrastructure — from design through operation
- Bring concrete tradeoffs to design discussions — performance, complexity, blast radius, time-to-ship — so the squad is making decisions based on real costs
- Close open questions by spiking, scripting, or prototyping, keeping the team moving rather than waiting on answers that could be found by building
- Operate what you build: instrument it, respond to alerts, and close the loop on issues that surface after release
- Review code thoughtfully — ask questions, push for improvements when they matter, and welcome the same on your own PRs
- Pick up improvements you notice along the way — tech debt, alerting gaps, missing tests — without waiting to be asked
Skills
- 2–4 years shipping production software, with enough end-to-end ownership to know what "done" actually means
- Fluency in at least one frontend JS framework (React/Vue/Angular), and a strongly typed language (C#/.NET/Python/Go) — and comfort learning across the stack where the work takes you
- Experience naming tradeoffs concretely rather than just expressing preferences — you've been in design discussions where your perspective shaped the outcome
- Engineering habits — testing, observability, careful review — that reflect care for the long term, not just the current ticket
- Some experience operating what you've built: you've debugged production, you know what good instrumentation looks like
- Some experience with how code gets deployed and runs in production — you understand the path from commit to live, and you know what good instrumentation looks like
