Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States Pearson Full time

Summary:

As a Senior Software Developer with team lead responsibilities, you will be the primary leader of the new software development team for a relatively new product offering from Pearson VUE. You'll be part of a USA-based team of 4 other less experienced employees including Developers and QA engineers. You will supervise all engineering activities of the team, including technical decision-making, creating team processes, and leading code review. You will provide work direction as part of Agile software development processes and serve as the team's Scrum Master. Though supervising and mentoring other engineers is a responsibility of this role, we want to ensure that part of your time (50% or so) is hands-on coding work. We strongly prefer Angular experience because it is an important technology for this product. Though you will supervise the work of other engineers on the team, this is an individual contributor role and HR management responsibilities of other engineers would be with someone else.

The Product:

Our Item Assist product started off as a prototype tool for letting users use generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) to create test questions. Expanding the capabilities of Item Assist beyond the limited prototype into a web-based production system is the long-term mission of this software product team. At Pearson VUE we have many ideas of how to use generative AI to serve our customers and after extensive research we are making Item Assist our first AI-powered product.

Special note: this role and this specific team will not be doing AI-based development work. Other engineering teams at Pearson are working on the AI capabilities that power the Item Assist product. The Item Assist product and this team's work represents the user interface and the application experience for our customers. Therefore skills like machine learning, prompting, LLM models, etc are not applicable to this role, but some knowledge about AI concepts could be beneficial.

In this role you'll partner with the Product Manager to bring their vision to reality and work alongside the Architect, Project Manager, and Business Analyst.

Item Assist's tech stack is Java (currently version 11) with Spring Boot, Angular (currently version 13), MariaDB, and we strive to use modern versions of our software. Item Assist runs in Microsoft Azure using cloud CDN and containerized backend services orchestrated by Kubernetes.

Work Location:

REMOTE - United States , required to work mostly Central time zone normal business hours.

Duties:

  • Provide leadership for the team of engineers in an Agile software development approach
  • Create work processes for the team and continually evolve them as needs change
  • Enforce high standards of software development to achieve quality
  • Coach other team members to help them grow and bring out their best work
  • Make technical decisions on behalf of the team with partnership of the Architect
  • Plan the team's work and estimate future desired work
  • Act as Scrum Master of the Agile team
  • Develop new features and other technical implementation work (50% of the time)

Required Education and Experience:

  • 5+ years work experience as a software developer
  • 2+ years supervising the work of technical staff either formally or informally
  • 2+ years experience with Angular or similar front-end software frameworks (like React, Svelte, etc.)
  • 2+ years experience with Java or similar back-end languages

Desired Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

  • Relational databases
  • DevOps workflows related to cloud-based development and deployment
  • Experience in an Agile software development environment
  • Demonstrated technical leadership
  • Clear communication skills to various types of audiences
  • History of continuous improvement
