Job description

Req#: 50f7ee96-5a2b-4e32-aa93-7a4c5cbb1fa1

Over the last 10+ years, Ellevation Education has built a thriving business serving the administrators, specialists, and teachers who support English Learners (ELL) at public schools across the US. Today, over 1,800 school districts use our software to manage their EL programs and drive key outcomes for students. We are a successful, rapidly growing business with a mission—helping ELLs achieve their highest aspirations. We are investing in a benchmark assessment to inform instruction for EL students in grades 2–12 nationwide. This lightweight assessment will measure students’ growth between high-stakes, federally mandated assessments.

As a Software Engineer II on our assessment team, you’ll work in our instructional product domain to develop the assessment solution, including greenfield projects and deep system integrations. You should be comfortable working across the full stack with our backend (Python, Postgres, ECS) and frontend (React).

We seek engineers excited to leverage their skills in support of a mission-driven company. Our small, product-centric teams are remote, collaborative, and empowered to make impactful decisions. We operate with core hours from 10AM to 4PM (Eastern) and meet in person about four times a year at our Boston headquarters or offsite locations.

Ideal candidates are those who can balance quality and speed, understand business value, and own medium-sized features while communicating milestones clearly. Comfort across the tech stack and a willingness to go deep as needed are essential.

About you:

• 2-4 years of software development experience
• Experience in at least one modern language, e.g., Python, Go, C#
• Experience with React and/or TypeScript and related UI frameworks
• Success in collaborative, iterative product environments
• Versatility to learn new technologies and contribute across the stack
• Curious, team-oriented, with strong interpersonal skills
• Passionate about building impactful products through technology

Impact:

• 1 month: Contribute to feature development, participate in team processes, build domain knowledge
• 3 months: Own small features, lead discussions, advocate for best practices
• 6 months: Develop medium features, collaborate cross-functionally, resolve workflow pain points
• 12 months: Lead large features, prioritize technical investments, coordinate with product/design teams

Salary ranges from $125,000 to $145,000 annually, with comprehensive benefits, performance raises, and bonuses. We value diversity, creativity, and new perspectives, encouraging motivated, adaptable candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
