  • Architecture & System Design: Deep understanding of microservices, distributed systems, and scalable architecture.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on with Azure (App Services, Functions), Docker, Kubernetes (basic), and CI/CD tools like Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
  • Frontend Exposure: Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one modern framework (React, Angular, or Vue).
  • Code Quality: Strong grasp of data structures, algorithms, and performance-oriented development.
  • Version Control & Collaboration: Proficient with Git in a team environment.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Exposure to Data Warehousing (ETL/ELT).
  • Familiarity with Snowflake or Azure Synapse.
  • Integration experience with BI tools.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and implementation of complex reporting and analytics systems that deliver real business impact for Degreed clients.

  • Translate open-ended product or analytical requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions.
  • Act as a technical expert for core areas of the reporting infrastructure, supporting peers and cross-functional teams.
  • Provide thoughtful feedback in design reviews, solidifying architectural choices and surfacing assumptions early.
  • Debug and resolve issues across modules, quickly identifying root causes in data pipelines or service dependencies.
  • Anticipate and manage technical risks tied to analytics delivery — including data quality, performance, and system limitations.
  • Write clean, reusable, and reliable code, and champion modern engineering practices.
  • Continuously improve the reporting stack, identifying opportunities to increase automation, speed, and system resilience.
