Job Description:
Pluralsight is the technology workforce development company that helps teams build better products by knowing more and working better together. Using our Skills and Flow products, teams can develop critical skills, improve processes and gain insights through data.
We build this exciting product ecosystem by working with smart people and uniting behind a passion for what tech can create. We're a group of good-natured, nimble go-getters dedicated to helping people and businesses build better with technology. That means when we see opportunities to create, we go for it. We don't let the unknown stop us from solving challenges and winning together. And most importantly, we treat each other like adults. If you can see possibilities where others see problems, have candid conversations to ensure all voices are heard and thrive in a collaborative environment, you'll do some of the best work of your career here.
The Platform team is looking for hands-on, system-level problem solvers who understand the many trade-offs of technology choices, engage with distributed teams, and build system-level libraries and services.
We work with system partners and our product development teams. Providing design guidance, developing platform tools, and managing system complexity to help teams deliver value more easily and in a maintainable way. As part of this team, you will be responsible for building performant, reliable, and maintainable systems in a large, polyglot, distributed environment.
Challenges include system-level communication, storage, routing, monitoring, understanding and communicating broad architectural concepts, system scaling, crafting coherent user experiences, and working in many languages, runtimes, and environments.
Experience and Technologies

• Able to work with critical systems - always with quality and reliability
• System level thinking - holistically consider a problem, see the forest from the trees
• Strong ability to communicate complex concepts
• Collaborative to your core - you enjoy pairing & mobbing within your immediate team, and with others outside of your team
• Developer productivity approach - root out and solve problems to improve the efficiency of the greater engineering organization

What you'll own:

• Continuously analyzing and evaluating the Pluralsight system for potential platform projects
• Working on software teams (pairs, mobs) to collaboratively develop, deploy and maintain software platform projects
• Reviewing designs, architecture, and software for the overall Pluralsight platform
• Communicating with development teams to understand problems and places where the platform can be improved
• Educating others on the proper use of platform tools

Experience you'll need:

• Have a history of being a Technical Leader on the teams that you have been a part of
• A successful candidate will have experience with multiple programming languages, paradigms, and runtimes especially in the implementation of larger complex systems
• Have a broad set of technology skills - full-stack, from web UI to operations
