Software Engineer II, Engineering

About this role

As a
Software Engineer II
on an engineering squad at Ellevation, you'll build and operate features that directly shape how educators manage English Learner programs across thousands of school districts. You'll work across a full-stack environment — React on the frontend, C#/.NET Core or Python on the backend — and you'll own your work end-to-end: design, build, ship, and keep it running.


At this level, you're not just executing tickets. You're expected to bring a proposed path when you surface a problem, close open questions by building rather than debating, and leave the systems you touch in better shape than you found them. You'll be a real contributor to how the squad works — in design discussions, in code review, and in the day-to-day quality bar the team holds together.


About You:


You might be a great fit if you:

• You bring a proposed path along with the problem — you've found that framing a solution, even a rough one, moves things forward faster than waiting for the perfect answer.
• When something is blocking the team, your instinct is to build the smallest thing that answers the question rather than debate it — a spike, a script, a quick prototype.
• You share real opinions in design discussions — on tradeoffs, complexity, and risk — because you believe teams make better decisions when people actually weigh in.
• You take code review seriously in both directions: you ask until you understand before approving, and you welcome the same rigor on your own work.
• You stay engaged past the merge — on cleanup, follow-up bugs, and alerts that trace back to what you shipped — because you care about the full lifecycle, not just the delivery moment.
• You use AI tools to move faster, and you read and own everything that goes out under your name.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and ship product features across React, .NET Core/Python, and supporting infrastructure — from design through operation.
• Bring concrete tradeoffs to design ...
