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, you 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 S3 model 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 datastores, message queuing, and cloud infrastructure, against typed contracts.
• Build and test frontend experiences in TypeScript 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.

• SQL (MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)
• Proficiency in a typed language, ideally TypeScript, and comfort working in a strictly typed codebase.

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