Software Engineer III

When you join Renaissance®, you join a global leader in pre-K-12 education technology! Renaissance’s solutions help educators analyze, customize, and plan personalized learning paths for students, allowing time for what matters—creating energizing learning experiences in the classroom. Our fiercely passionate employees and educational partners have helped drive phenomenal student growth, with Renaissance solutions being used in over one-third of US schools and in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Every day, we are connected to our mission by exemplifying our values: trust each other, win together, strive for the best, own our actions, and grow and evolve.

As a Software Engineer III, y ou will build features across the discovery layer and the products behind it: the search and browse experiences teachers use to find the right lesson, the curation tools admins use to govern what their district sees, and the services that make four separate products feel like one library. You will be making it fast and intuitive for admins to govern and curate, for teachers to find and instruct, and for students to explore and grow their respective libraries.

You will work with a high degree of independence and help ensure that problems and solutions are appropriately scoped.

In addition, you will be the first team to adopt Renaissance’s S3model of software development. You will be expected to build multi-agent orchestration , where specialized agents coordinate on complete features and engineers shift from managing individual tasks to designing the systems that produce the work.

• Build features across the discovery layer and the products it connects — search and browse for teachers, curation and governance for admins, exploration for students.
• Develop backend services that leverage relational databases, non-relational data stores, message queuing, and cloud infrastructure, against typed contracts.
• Build and test frontend experiences in Type Script and React, contract-tested against the backend, with accessibility treated as a requirement rather than a follow-up.
• Write the tests and the instrumentation with the feature — unit, component, and contract tests, plus the traces, metrics, and logs that make the system debuggable.

• Professional experience building and shipping production web applications or services.
• Experience developing backend services against relational databases, and comfort with non-relational data stores, message queuing, and/or cloud infrastructure.
• Excitement to help craft a new, AI-first software development lifecycle. The idea of encoding engineering understanding into formal constraints that can be consumed by an AI workflow is an interesting problem to you, not a necessary evil.
• Working knowledge of cloud operations — you can deploy across environments, read a dashboard, and troubleshoot an application problem in a cloud environment.
• Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate well with distributed engineering, product, and design teams.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent industry experience.

• Proficiency in a typed language, ideally Type Script, and comfort working in a strictly typed codebase.

• Experience leading and mentoring others
• Experience with the AWS technologies
• Knowledge of Dev Ops processes and technologies
