The Opportunity

We are hiring an experienced Software Engineer to help support our Home team. The Home experience is the first thing a user sees after logging into Pluralsight. We are responsible for providing an experience that integrates closely with other teams and features and provides users with a seamless transition to these experiences. A strong home experience will help learners pick up where they left off and discover new content and features that enable them to accomplish their goals quicker. This is a highly collaborative role, where you will work with technical colleagues across the organization to drive important outcomes for learners around the world.

As a software engineer on the Home team, you will help shape our technical direction on how we make our user's landing page intuitive, informative, and insightful. We are always looking to better understand our customers and build features that motivate them to learn the latest technologies. You will collaborate with a bright, diverse team that is passionate about learning and helping our learners and customers reach their learning goals by crafting scalable, secure software that delights our users.

You'd be a great fit if you have:

• Experience building software with Node, React and Postgres

• Experience designing, building, or supporting self-service platforms

• Experience designing, building, or supporting high performance distributed systems

• Experience with continuous integration and continuous delivery platforms (Gitlab / Teamcity)

• Experience working on and/or a demonstrable understanding of messaging/queuing systems or stream processing systems

• Experience writing test driven code, pair programming, and leading/participating in design discussions about architecture, data shapes, and business logic

• A foundational understanding and experience with topics related to platform scale, security, availability, deployment and operations

• Experience with database and query performance tuning

• Experience solving analytical business problems using data

Ways we work:

• Test-Driven Development - we take responsibility for our code without QA engineers

• Pair programming - we value collaborative development

• Continuous Delivery - teams independently ship code to prod every day

• Kanban & Lean - We value limiting work in progress and focusing on continuous flow

• Continual improvement - we hold periodic retrospectives and adjust how we work

• Autonomous & responsible teams - making their own product & dev choices

• Cross-functional teams - collaborating through all phases of the product dev process

• Customer research - we build what our customers actually want

• Trusting leaders - who trust us to create and don't impose deadlines or features

• Solid technology - of the team's choice, for the right job

You are:

• A supportive and engaged team member, able to express complex information to a variety of consumers.

• Able to problem solve independently and prioritize work based on anticipated business value.

• Able to distill complex ideas into straight forward language.

• Passionate about data, innovation, and using technology to unlock the future.
