About the Role

As a Staff Full Stack Engineer on the Surveys squad, you’ll help lead the next phase of

Panorama’s first and most foundational product. Surveys sit at the core of how districts

understand student experience and well-being, and this role is about building on a strong

foundation to unlock new capabilities, scale with confidence, and continuously improve how

insight turns into action for educators.

You will bring strong full-stack expertise, systems thinking, and product-minded engineering to

complex, high-leverage problems. You’ll partner closely with product managers, designers, data

science, and other engineers to deliver thoughtful, maintainable solutions that balance speed,

quality, and long-term sustainability. In addition to hands-on development, you’ll serve as a

technical leader within the squad and a mentor across the broader engineering organization.

You’ll also help identify and support opportunities to apply AI and automation thoughtfully within

survey workflows, reporting, and internal tooling to reduce manual effort and improve insight

quality over time.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working on a mature, mission-critical system,

strengthening foundations, and making improvements that unlock outsized impact for customers

and internal teams.
