Role Description We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to help lead the development of fast, well-tested, and performant code for our web applications and modernizing our application stack. If you are the kind of engineer passionate about developing well-built, reusable components following industry best practices, and love working in a collaborative environment with your product partners and dependency teams, then we want to talk to you. - Collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, and Software Engineers to build and maintain the user experience, accessibility, and development feasibility of the website, applications, and supporting digital spaces. - Design and implement innovative solutions for the presentation of data and content on our websites, mobile apps, and other platforms. - Adhere to JoVE’s brand standards and convey it cohesively across the website, supporting digital spaces and third-party platforms. - Stay updated on the latest standards, changes, and web design and development trends. - Contribute towards engineering excellence in areas like automated unit testing. - Collaborate with key stakeholders on project design and implementation and other developers to maintain standards and create a reusable codebase. - Expected to be self-motivated, needing little guidance on completing tasks on time and meeting expectations in terms of requirements. - Explain and “whiteboard” complex technical issues to audiences with varying levels of technical expertise. - Debug software components and identify code defects for remediation. - Assist in automating deployments to development and other environments. Qualifications - A Bachelor’s degree. - 5+ years of experience building scalable, data-driven backend systems and APIs. - Strong proficiency in server-side programming (Node.js). Familiarity with PHP is an added advantage. - Strong understanding of system design, data architecture, and microservices or modular monoliths. - Skilled in designing and implementing RESTful APIs and integrating with third-party services and external SDKs. - Familiarity with event-driven systems, asynchronous processing, and message queues (Kafka, SNS/SQS, RabbitMQ, etc.). - Experienced with SQL and NoSQL databases — e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis — with the ability to optimize queries and model complex data relationships. - Solid experience with cloud-native architecture using AWS (serverless, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3, CloudFormation, etc.) or equivalent platforms. - Demonstrated understanding and implementation of software design principles such as SOLID and DRY with Software as a Service (SaaS), multi-tenancy application development. - Embraces the concepts of Agile Scrum software development and its related collaboration and issue-tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, Rally). - Experience working in a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CICD) model, including GitHub and CI pipeline automation tools. - Ability to triage and resolve incidents and lead incident investigations. Benefits - A competitive compensation package. - You will make a direct impact in accelerating science research and education. - Opportunity to work with global teams and in an environment that promotes innovation and collaboration. - Our strong promotion from within culture draws a clear path to advance your career with us.
