Software Engineer III

Pearson • Oklahoma City, OK • 1d ago

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain Ruby on Rails services and APIs alongside modern JavaScript/React frontends, taking responsibility for their quality, performance, and reliability

Lead the design and delivery of complex, well-scoped features and systems end to end

Write clear, maintainable, well-tested code and reduce complexity by simplifying services, improving patterns, and paying down technical debt

Mentor junior engineers and level up the team through code reviews, feedback, and knowledge sharing

Evolve the platform to support new services and capabilities, including work across adjacent codebases and domains

Partner with external vendors and stakeholders across Product and Customer Success to turn requirements into sound technical solutions

Use AI-assisted development tools for coding, testing, and debugging

Follow and promote best practices for secure, scalable, cloud-native web application development

What We're Looking For

7+ years of professional software development experience

Proficiency with our core stack: Ruby on Rails, React, AWS, and PostgreSQL

Proven track record of making high-impact technical decisions in complex production environments, shipping well-tested code, and giving constructive code reviews

Excellent cross-functional communication, equally effective with engineers and non-technical stakeholders

Experience in software architecture, system design, and scalability with a strong hands-on background

Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers

Experience with distributed or service-oriented systems and asynchronous, event-driven communication between services

Comfort working across more than one codebase and ramping quickly into unfamiliar systems

AI-Native Expectations

You should be comfortable using AI tools to assist with coding, testing, documentation, and learning, and, importantly, exercising sound engineering judgment about their output. This means validating AI-generated code, knowing when to rely on it and when not to and staying curious about how AI can responsibly improve developer productivity across the team.

Nice to Have

Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating production workloads on AWS and Azure

Experience building and improving CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment practices that raise delivery velocity across the team

Experience integrating with, or building alongside, third-party or vendor-delivered services

Strong understanding of web application security best practices with a track record of raising the security bar across a codebase

Experience with design systems, component libraries, or advanced frontend tooling

Experience with scalability, resilience, or performance work at scale

Experience with messaging or event-streaming systems such as Apache Pulsar or Apache Kafka

Applications will be accepted through October 1. This window may be extended depending on business needs.
