About The Role

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain integrations involving learning management systems, including SSO, APIs, learning content standards, and related data flows.
• Implement and maintain platform features, state-specific configurations, and reusable functionality within a shared multi-client environment.
• Partner with platform leadership on technical architecture and implementation decisions, raising risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early.
• Lead strong development practices around branching, releases, automated testing, CI/CD, documentation, performance, security, and accessibility, including WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 requirements.
• Facilitate Agile team practices, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, and retrospectives, while helping manage sprint commitments, team capacity, and delivery goals.
• Partner with product owners and product managers to break work into clear, estimable stories and maintain a ready, prioritized backlog.
• Help remove technical blockers and identify practical solutions that keep delivery moving.
• Use AI-assisted development tools for coding, testing, review, documentation, automation, and other appropriate development workflows.
• Help establish responsible and effective standards for the team’s use of AI development tools.
• Integrate identity and access solutions using technologies and standards such as Auth0, OIDC, SAML, or similar approaches.
• Clearly communicate and present technical decisions, implementation progress, risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and nontechnical stakeholders, including product, program, executive, client, and state-agency audiences.
• Contribute technical input to estimates, solutioning, build-versus-buy decisions, and future platform capabilities.
• Document technical decisions and implementations so knowledge is shared across the team and does not depend on any one individual.
