Our culture of service enables us to form long-lasting and trusted partnerships, while our focus on creativity and innovative solutions empowers our customer communities to thrive. As a Nelnet company, the perks at NBS go beyond our benefits package. You’re part of a community, invested in you as an individual and united by our mission to create opportunities for people where they live, learn and work. We’re FACTS Student Information System (SIS), and just like our parent company, Nelnet, we are dedicated to diversification and growth. We are people driven. As opportunities arise to diversify and apply our customer service and software expertise, we look to develop our associates to grow along this same path as our company. Things move fast here so we’re agile and innovative in how we work, consistently looking at how we can improve. We’re only as good as our people – that’s where you come in. As a Software Engineer II at FACTS SIS, you will be a key component of the application development process. You’ll work closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters and other team members to better understand their needs in order to create new products and product features that will enhance and evolve FACTS SIS solutions. You will also have the opportunity to mentor less experienced engineers and give guidance on adherence to best practices and development/quality standards. Lastly, you will be given ample opportunity to further your own technical knowledge and skills. This position offers a hybrid work option. Nelnet values flexibility and understands the importance of work-life integration. Our hybrid work environment allows associates to work remotely for part of the week, while also fostering collaboration and team connection through in-office presence. The in-office requirement will fluctuate depending on the current need of the rotation and offers flexibility for candidates still attending college courses on campus through graduation.
