Software Engineer, Frontend Infrastructure, Education - remote

The Opportunity

Our work in education is aimed at ensuring that every student —not just a lucky few —can get an education that’s tailored to their individual needs and supports every aspect of their development. We’re pairing engineering with grantmaking, impact investing, policy, and advocacy work to help every energetic person enter adulthood with the skills and abilities they need to reach their full potential —and equip every teacher with the tools and research they need to help students get there. The Education Infrastructure team supports the development of the Summit Learning Platform and Along. By building shared tools and infrastructure, we ensure that the platform is stable, performant, secure, and scalable. In this role, you will partner closely with members of the product engineering team and the core infrastructure team to cultivate shared best practices that will allow the entire team to rapidly improve our product.

Frontend Infra Team Culture:

• Autonomy and collaboration - Engineers contribute to our roadmap and we work as a team, with other teams to accomplish our goals.
• Sustainable development - We believe that functionally complete does not mean it’s ready for production. We care about automated tests, accessibility, responsiveness, monitoring, taking vacation, and building for the long term.
• Growth - Technical and professional growth are important for every engineer
