Overview
Application

At Instructure, we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers. We do this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome.

And that's where you come in:

We're looking for a senior full-stack engineer to lead development of modern web experiences and services used globally by educators and learners. You'll work across the stack from elegant, accessible UIs to resilient backend services, and you'll help us scale safely across regions and time zones. This person should be located in the US, and be able to travel on occasion to meet with other team members in person.

What you will do:
- Design, build, and own production features in Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS.
- Model data and ship performant Postgres queries (migrations, indexing, connection mgmt, query optimization).
- Architect multiregion deployments: traffic routing, latency budgets, failover/DR, config & secrets, and rollout strategies.
- Build for international audiences: i18n/l10n pipelines, time-zone correctness, and data residency considerations.
- Instrument services with logs/metrics/traces (OpenTelemetry or similar) and drive incident ready observability.
- Champion accessibility (WCAG aware UI), testing (unit/integration/e2e), CI/CD, and code reviews.
- Mentor peers, collaborate with Product/Design, and contribute to technical direction.

What you will need to know/have
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant time in TypeScript and [Node.js](http://node.js/).
- Product-oriented mindset, with the ability to create and iterate on both Greenfield features, and features that millions of learners rely on each day.
- Strong Postgres chops (schema design, query tuning, migrations, understanding of transactions and isolation).
- Security mindset (authN/Z, OAuth/OIDC, secrets, OWASP), plus familiarity with FERPA/GDPR implications in edtech.
- Excellent communication, product sense, and a bias for shipping.

It would be a bonus if you also had:
- Experience with building LMS tools, especially Canvas
- A passion for continuing education and lifelong learning.

Get in on all the awesome at Instructure!
- We offer competitive, meaningful benefits in every country where we operate. While they vary by location, here's a general idea of what you can expect:
- Competitive compensation, plus all full-time employees participate in our ownership program - because everyone should have a stake in our success.
- Flexible schedules and a remote-friendly culture, with hybrid or onsite work options available in some regions for specific roles
- Generous time off, including local holidays and our annual company-wide "Dim the Lights" week in late December, when we encourage everyone to step back and recharge
- Comprehensive wellness programs and mental health support
- Annual learning and development stipends to support your growth
- The technology and tools you need to do your best work -- typically a Mac, with PC options available in some locations
- Motivosity employee recognition program
- A culture rooted in inclusivity, support, and meaningful connection
