Job Description

About the Role:

We are seeking a creative and technically-minded Full Stack Software Engineer (Junior to Mid-Level) to help us build the future of student data analytics. In this role, you won't just be moving data—you'll be designing how educators interact with it. You will work across our entire stack, from building Python-based APIs to crafting beautiful, responsive frontends. A strong eye for design is essential here; we need someone who cares about user experience and knows how to make complex data look clean, intuitive, and actionable.

What You'll Be Doing:

• End-to-End Feature Development: Build and ship new features using Python (Flask) on the backend and React on the frontend.

• Data Visualization: Create engaging, interactive charts and dashboards using Chart.js and other modern visualization libraries.

• UI/UX Implementation: Translate product ideas into polished user interfaces, ensuring a high-quality look and feel across the platform.

• Semantic Layer: Work with Cube (formerly Cube.js) to manage our semantic data layer (we’ll train you on this if you haven't used it!).

• Database Integration: Interface with Postgres (Spanner) and BigQuery to ensure our application has fast, reliable access to student data.

• Growth & Learning: Actively participate in code reviews and collaborate with senior engineers to level up your technical skills and architectural thinking.

About You:

• 2-4 years of professional experience in full-stack web development.

• Frontend Proficiency: Strong experience with React and a deep understanding of modern CSS/styling.

• Design Sensibility: A "strong eye for design" and a passion for creating clean, user-friendly interfaces. You should be comfortable making UI decisions that improve the user experience.

• Backend Fundamentals: Solid experience with Python and web frameworks (like Flask or FastAPI).

• Data Viz Interest: Experience with Chart.js, D3.js, or similar visualization libraries to tell stories with data.

• SQL Skills: Comfortable writing and optimizing queries for relational databases (Postgres) or data warehouses (BigQuery).

• Adaptability: Excited to learn new technologies like Cube and dive into the nuances of K-12 educational data.

Why you’ll love working at Newsela:

• Work From Home: We are a fully remote company. We provide a monthly tech stipend to support your WFH needs!

• Time Off: Flexible PTO plus 10 company holidays plus winter break (Dec 24th - Jan 1st).

• Make A Difference: No matter your role or department, the work you do each day helps share the future of education and improves the lives of students and teachers.
