WHAT WILL YOU DO?

• Design and oversee the end‑to‑end architecture of Open edX environments, including LMS, Studio, microservices, and integrations.
• Define scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions using cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Lead technical decisions around performance, availability, disaster recovery, and platform upgrades.
• Guide development teams on best practices for Open edX customization, XBlock development, and CI/CD implementation.
• Ensure compliance with security standards, accessibility (WCAG), and data privacy requirements.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business needs into technical roadmaps and architectural blueprints.

WHAT WE WANT

• 5+ years of experience in software architecture, with deep expertise in Open edX or similar large‑scale LMS platforms.
• Strong command of Python, Django, REST APIs, and microservices architecture.
• Hands‑on experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), Kubernetes, and infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, Ansible).
• Proven track record in designing high‑availability, secure, and scalable systems.
• Knowledge of authentication protocols (OAuth2, SAML), LTI integrations, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
• Excellent communication skills in English; ability to lead technical discussions and mentor teams.
• Open edX contributor or community involvement is a strong advantage.

WHY JOIN US?

• Lead architecture for a mission‑driven, global digital learning initiative.
• Drive innovation with full technical ownership and strategic influence.
• Grow your expertise with company‑sponsored certifications and access to cutting‑edge tech.
• Flexible remote work and international project exposure.
• Be part of a supportive, diverse community with regular team events, afterworks, and our annual Event of the Year.
• Comprehensive benefits: health insurance, meal & transit support, career pathing, and personal development budget.
