This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with between 5-7 years of software engineering experience looking to build on their leadership skills and make a direct impact. If you’ve previously held Director, Head, or VP-level roles, this position may not align with your current career goals.

You’ll be responsible for leading the development of internal tools that scale our business systems in areas like learning, training, and development management. These tools support operational efficiency, with features including scheduling, notifications, admin tools, contact management, self-service enrollment, assessments, and grading.

We impact companies’ bottom lines with improved productivity, increased retention, and differentiated quality of customer experience; employees experience the benefits of greater success in their current roles while unlocking future professional growth.

We’re a tight-knit, hardworking, mission-driven team of ~60 employees who are eager to scale our solution and transform careers across the United States. Want to learn more?
