About You:
You have experience developing AI powered solutions at an enterprise level.

You interface well with other business units and leadership, being able to
describe situations and technical approaches to foster an environment of trust
and confidence.
You have deep expertise developing both front-ends and back-ends of modern
web applications and have a general understanding what is involved in front-end
development as well.

team members to build the best experiences for our teachers, students, and
other personas.
You consider the needs of accessible designs in all steps of the engineering
process for those with visual, auditory, sensory, cognitive, and other
considerations.
You design APIs that are meant to be consumed by others, so ease of use,
simplistic design, and other attributes that benefit interoperability are key.
You believe in understanding why work is being done and empathizing with the
users, not just implementing code and moving onto the next task.
You have demonstrated software delivery experience with a distributed product &
engineering team.
You can work in a fast-paced software release environment, where you
continuously deliver production-grade (near-zero downtime, fault-tolerant, etc.)
software daily for a system with millions of users around the world.
