About The Position

As a Full Stack Engineer, this role plays a key part in building and evolving shared platform capabilities within Core Assessment Platforms. Engineers at this level work across the stack to design, implement, and improve systems that must balance experimentation with reliability at scale. You’ll collaborate closely with other engineers and cross-functional partners to make sound technical decisions in complex, often ambiguous problem spaces. The position offers the opportunity to influence architecture, engineering standards, and technical direction while continuing to grow as a builder. Success comes from strong execution, thoughtful tradeoffs, and a willingness to learn and adapt as systems and requirements evolve.

Requirements

4+ years of production level software development experience managing the entire lifecycle of features, including design, development, documentation, and deployment, with a focus on clear and accurate interfaces and integrations.
Proficiency in reviewing and improving code structure and architecture for testability, maintainability, and scalability, with hands-on experience in modern coding frameworks (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js), and AWS Serverless technologies.
Strong problem-solving skills, working collaboratively with team members to identify and resolve issues, and partnering with Product Owners to prioritize backlog.
Proven ability to pitch new ideas and implement improved systems and processes, delivering excellent results.
Effective communicator and team lead, able to provide actionable feedback, mentor team members, and participate in interviews to evaluate engineering talent.
Ability to travel 3-5 times a year to our NYC or Reston, VA office.
