About the Role
Location: Remote, United States
Role-Type: Full-Time
Reports To: VP of Product Engineering
Compensation: $140,000 to $160,000 per year
CodePath is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong DevOps expertise who will design, develop, and maintain our infrastructure and web-based applications that are the centerpiece of our mission to enhance and revolutionize the educational experience for emerging engineers.
We operate a moderately sized deployment (12-15 VPS instances plus supporting services) and seek someone with DevOps principles rather than enterprise-scale experience. You won't have sole responsibility—we've maintained this infrastructure ourselves for years. Your role is to help our team level up while also contributing to product features as part of our full-stack engineering team.
The ideal candidate will thrive in ambiguity, relish autonomy, and be excited about leveraging and building the technology that is at the center of CodePath's ambitious vision to transform college computer science education, empower the tech leaders of tomorrow and generate over $1.5T in wealth for low-income communities within the next 20 years.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will join a small team of engineers who collaborate directly with stakeholders to comprehend the needs of our students and staff, actively participate in the decision-making process about which features and functionalities to tackle and then independently execute. On CodePath's Product Engineering team, you'll make high-impact decisions about how we solve our problems.
