The Senior Software Engineer will build and enhance features for the Rise Course Authoring platform, focusing on usability and accessibility, while collaborating with team members and influencing application architecture.
Articulate is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our amazing Rise Course Authoring and Learning team!
This team builds the experiences that authors use to create learning and that learners engage with around the world. In this role, you’ll own frontend-heavy problem spaces, shaping flexible, high-quality capabilities with a strong focus on usability, performance, and accessibility. You’ll be expected to ramp up quickly, get comfortable in unfamiliar parts of the codebase, and make good technical decisions even when the path forward isn’t fully defined.You’ll evolve foundational workflows and interaction patterns, working closely with partner teams and underlying services to ensure powerful features scale reliably while remaining intuitive and delightful to use.
What you'll do:
- Build and Evolve Features: Design and build new features and enhance existing ones with an eye for quality, iterating quickly to bring value to customers
- Shape Solutions Collaboratively: Work closely with engineers, designers, and product leaders to define direction, navigate tradeoffs, and deliver thoughtful solutions
- Influence Architecture: Participate in defining application architecture, particularly in frontend systems and patterns, using sound judgment to balance short-term needs with long-term maintainability
- Mentor and Guide: Provide technical leadership through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship of less experienced engineers
- Own Reliability: Participate in on-call rotation and help improve how the team responds to and learns from incidents
- Ramp up and take ownership: Build context quickly in a large, evolving system, spot opportunities for improvement, and carry work from early investigation through delivery
What you should have:
- Senior-level experience building, shipping, and owning production software, with a history seeing work through over time
- Strong experience building complex, user-facing applications using modern JavaScript/TypeScript and component-based UI frameworks (we use React today), gained through many years of professional software engineering work
- Working proficiency with backend technologies (Node.js, Postgres, Docker) and comfort collaborating across service boundaries
- A proven track record of implementing, shipping and maintaining production software
- Ability to write clear, testable, and maintainable JavaScript
- Demonstrated commitment to accessibility and inclusive design
- Little need for direct oversight and comfort owning ambiguous problem spaces
- Strong communication skills and an ability to clearly explain technical topics to engineers and non-engineers alike
- Strong familiarity with Git and GitHub-based development workflows
We care more about depth of experience, judgment, and ownership than having an exact match for every tool or technology listed.
Nice to haves:
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform) and AWS services (S3, CloudFront, etc) - experience operating and evolving team-owned deployment infrastructure
- Event-driven architectures
- Integrating independently deployed frontend modules into a cohesive application
- Building real-time collaborative editing features and conflict resolution
- Using AI tools to improve developer workflows or product capabilities
