Descrizione del lavoro

EF Education First in Boston seeks a Staff Software Engineer to set architectural direction across customer-facing sites, portals, and internal platforms. You’ll own web platform construction, performance, and scale while collaborating with product, design, and marketing to ship personalized experiences.

You will guide system design, modernize legacy CMSs, and lead high-visibility initiatives across teams, with a focus on security, accessibility, and SEO.

Competenze

• 8–12+ years of software engineering experience, with deep expertise in front-end and web platform engineering.
• Track record of setting architecture across multiple applications or teams.
• Expert-level React, TypeScript, and Next.js, including server-side rendering and caching strategies.
• Strong system design skills: APIs, data flow, distributed services, and failure modes across the full stack.
• Full-stack range: backend services in Node.js or .NET, GraphQL API design, and integrating with enterprise systems such as Salesforce.
• Hands-on experience with AWS (Lambda, ECS), modern hosting and edge platforms like Vercel or Cloudflare, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CDK).
• Solid grounding in security, testing strategy, and web performance at scale.
• Experience using AI coding tools in daily work.
• Excellent communication with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience influencing with leadership and external experts.

Mansioni

• Set the technical direction for our web platform and the standards that our applications are built on (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js).
• Make and document architecture decisions spanning multiple applications and teams.
• Guide system design across the stack—APIs, integrations, headless CMS, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Vercel, Cloudflare).
• Own performance, reliability, security, and accessibility of customer-facing sites with Core Web Vitals and SEO as requirements.
• Lead modernization of legacy systems and migrations.
• Raise the bar on quality and developer experience: testing, CI/CD, IaC.
• Use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully and adopt them to speed delivery.
• Stay hands-on: build the hardest pieces, prototype new patterns, review code.
