Job Description
Learning Ally is a leading nonprofit education solutions organization that transforms the lives of struggling learners by delivering proven literacy solutions that help students reach their potential. Its mission is to radically change education, transforming the lives of children by providing solutions based on the Whole Child Literacy System to help them succeed academically, build self-confidence, and thrive in school and beyond.
65% of fourth-graders read below proficiency and are 400% more likely to drop out of high school. And, for “most at risk” students (students of color, low-income, English Language Learners, and students with learning disabilities), the problem is even more acute.
Learning Ally seeks to break this cycle. Our Whole Child Literacy System interacts at all levels of the educational system by simultaneously addressing the Whole Student and the Whole Educator.
To drive this goal, we are building and expanding our next-generation platform to enable a new portfolio of products and services that address a student’s cognitive, environmental, and literacy learning variables. Our goal is to create immersive digital learning experiences that help develop a student’s love of reading and support an educator’s understanding of their role in student success.
We use React on the front end and prefer Typescript in our codebase. Our front end talks to our GraphQL and REST APIs. We deploy via Jenkins pipelines to Kubernetes on AWS. That said, we are not dogmatic and believe in using the best tool for the job.
We look for teammates who think about platforms and products holistically and be an accelerator for the team to build new services and features that are reliable and maintainable. If you are humble, curious, resourceful, and will challenge us to think differently about solutions, this is an incredible opportunity to drive change in education and improve how millions of students learn.
Role Description
As the Director of Engineering for Learning Ally’s Implementation platform, you will lead and contribute to a cross-functional platform team to deliver seamless onboarding experiences (rostering, integrations, and account management) for our customers. You will work alongside product teams and engineering and DevOps leaders; you will develop technology roadmaps and assist in the architecture and development of foundational rostering and administrative systems to support our growing portfolio of products focused on delivering value to educators and students.
Responsibilities
Outcomes and Key Results of the platform & frontline team(s) aligned to capability
Representing the voice of tech for the platform capability within the business
Understanding tech requirements for the business/product line portfolio
Understanding strategic objectives for the capability and innovation opportunities
Co-development of Tech Roadmap with the Product Owner
Working with Portfolio Owners to address resourcing constraints and mix of Run,
Grow, Transform work
You will lead and manage the Implementation team with a steady, agile, and hands-on leadership approach.
Drive impact through Engineering Managers and Staff Engineers by promoting sound engineering practices, regularly assessing the technical state of teams, and providing mentoring, coaching, and sponsorship.
Ensure our solutions are scalable, balanced, and architecturally sound and that technical debt is incurred consciously and repaid reasonably.
Foster a working environment that supports Learning Ally’s cultural values. Act as a role model and engage in discussions and feedback to ensure the intent of the culture statement is integrated into day-to-day activities, planning, and communications.
Skills and Experience
10+ years of relevant experience; including 4+ years leading a team and 5+ years building software as an individual contributor
Experience with a tech stack similar to ours; AWS, Node.js, React, GraphQL, REST, SQL/NoSQL databases designed in a microservice architecture
Experience growing the skills and leadership capacity of engineering teams
Demonstrated experience using major cloud platform services and architectures to build consumer-facing products
Prior experience working in Lean and Agile environments; hypothesis testing, MVPs, iterative development cycles
Experience building psychologically safe environments that encourage everyone to contribute their ideas and feedback to the conversation
Experience working with cross-functional teams and collaborating across all areas of the business to align stakeholders with competing priorities
Proven ability to tie the organization’s goals, both big and small, to build technology solutions that enable and drive growth.
About Learning Ally
