The Opportunity:
As part of the Recruitment Partner Journey team, your mission is to deliver a best-in-class experience for the recruitment partners on a global scale
You will help drive the acquisition and engagement of recruitment partners. The team you would be joining is also responsible for building the mobile experience for our multi-sided marketplace
This position is for someone that likes to tackle both the technical and user experience challenge of making large sets of information easy to consume, comprehensible, and easy to navigate, but most importantly – relevant.
What you’ll be doing every day:
Design and develop new capabilities and enhancements – mainly for our recruitment partners who help students achieve their dream of studying abroad, but also connecting those capabilities in a multi-sided marketplace with clear outcomes.
Work closely with others in a cross-functional team to deliver high-quality software
Improve the quality and usefulness of existing features, by refactoring, decomposition, bug-fixing and preventive maintenance
Identify and act on opportunities to improve the way we plan, develop, test and deploy our software
Actively promote better software engineering, introducing advanced techniques and new tools to help other engineers improve their craft and deliver better software
What you bring to the table:
Experience providing technical guidance to teams of engineers developing web-based and mobile software that users love, across multiple domains and industries
Great communication skills. (Yes, everyone writes that – but we really mean it.)
Demonstrated ownership and pride in the quality of the software you work on, and the way that it succeeds in meeting the needs of its users
Extensive knowledge of design patterns, architectural paradigms, programming languages, tech stacks and frameworks – and deep understanding of the trade-offs entailed in choosing among them
Ability to influence and win over others by laying out the pros and cons of different options and the reasoning which supports your decisions, while maintaining an open-minded and collaborative atmosphere that makes people eager to work with you
A high level of skill and craftsmanship in building software that stands the test of time
Experience researching potential third-party technology solutions, and thoroughly evaluating when to build our own and when to pay for technology built by others
Track record of introducing the technical side of Agile software development to your teams, and explaining both how to apply its practices and the underlying principles which make them effective
Ideally, you also have experience with many of:
Developing and maintaining products that are used by many thousands or millions of people
React, Ruby, Rails, Node.js, Typescript, or python
Kafka, Amazon MQ, RabbitMQ or similar streaming or messaging systems
EdTech, eCommerce, or content-management software
Relational databases, ORM frameworks, and their alternatives
Microservices or SOA; RESTful APIs, JSON
AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, ELK stack
DevOps, Observability, Infrastructure as Code
Mobile technical framework experience
