JOB DESCRIPTION
Our mission is high stakes: ensure enterprise exam analytics are consistently available, accurate, and trusted. We operate at the intersection of engineering excellence, operational rigor, and stakeholder partnership—translating complex data systems into dependable decision-support tools for technology, operations, security, and client-facing teams.
We document thoroughly, automate intentionally, and design scale from day one. More than dashboard builders, we engineer the analytics backbone that supports ***'s most critical exam experiences and decision-making. We celebrate deep expertise in data engineering, observability, security, and platform reliability while delivering as a cohesive, high-performing team aligned to enterprise outcomes.

About the Opportunity
As a Full Stack Engineer, you will contribute to the design, development, and reliability of enterprise analytics platforms that support mission-critical exam operations. You will help build scalable data architectures, real-time telemetry pipelines, and high-performance reporting systems that operate reliably during peak exam delivery.
You bring strong cloud full-stack engineering experience, with hands-on skills across backend services, data platforms, APIs, and front-end analytics applications. You are comfortable working on cloud-native solutions end to end—from data ingestion and transformation to secure service layers and intuitive dashboard experiences.
Junior to midlevel, but skilled engineer with experience in AWS event-driven serverless cloud environment; scripting using Python, JavaScript, and solid communication skills and naturally curious about technology.
You will contribute to engineering excellence by following established architectural patterns, automation standards, and observability practices that improve system reliability and operational readiness. This includes implementing robust automated testing strategies using tools to ensure quality, reliability, and seamless user experiences.
You understand cloud software delivery, tools, and processes that empower efficient and resilient delivery that adheres to top-notch development practices. You are technologically curious and seek out
opportunities to research emerging technologies and trends, standards, and products. Your excellent communication and collaboration skills allow you to effectively articulate solutions to the development community, enabling all to succeed. You are communicative, approachable, self-driven, and collaborative.

In this role, you will:
