As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, candidate will be responsible for complex software development including coding, managing small sections of ongoing projects and closely adhering to deadlines. Candidate will also take responsibility for creating design specifications, unit testing, and preparing technical documentation. Candidate will ensure relationships with customers and cross-team members are professional and meet expectations. A top priority of this role is advancing AI and automation development—building agentic-AI capabilities and AI bot automation testing that improve delivery speed and quality across the LMS (Learning Management System) platform and its integrations.
The Client is a not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to providing excellence and equity in education – manages a complex and comprehensive suite of data systems, data feeds and reports to support students and educators across multiple assessments, programs and services. Working within the Information Technology division and across the Operations and key business units, the Senior Full StackEngineer will analyze procedures, and design and implement solutions that strengthen the organization’s Learning Management System (LMS) ecosystem and the learning experiences it supports, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven and automated development. The Senior Full Stack Engineer will design, develop, implement, and deploy AWS cloud solutions and LMS integrations, based on a set of standards and processes which establish consistency across the enterprise data, reduce risk, and promote efficiencies in support of the organization’s goals and objectives.
The ideal candidate will have designed, developed and implemented serverless software solutions in support of AI-driven automation for our LMS and ERP platforms.
