The Integrated Teaching and Learning Program (ITLP) at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) welcomes applications for our Senior Software Engineer. The Senior Software Engineer provides the technical vision and support, strategic leadership, and software engineering best practices for the ITL Program’s software systems. They provide similar leadership for the software systems of multiple other education-focused spaces and programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS). They serve as the primary contact for resolving complex technical issues encountered by the software engineering team, and they are involved in all phases of project design and implementation. They have full-stack responsibilities for the front-end and back-end aspects of all software systems. The Senior Software Engineer designs and builds software systems that integrate with multiple campus and in-house systems, using existing department and campus resources when possible. They identify the simplest—and most strategic—solution that balances the ITLP’s short-term and long-term needs. The Senior Software Engineer reports to the IT Director and provides mentorship to other ITLP software engineers.
This position serves as the technical expert, project manager, and design director for two proprietary products which support distinct organizational priorities:
TeachEngineering.org (TE), which is a NSF-funded digital library that offers standards-aligned, design-rich curricula to K-12 STEM-focused educators across the globe, serving over 2.5M unique users annually;
the ITLP's custom-built educational ERP, which supports the programming and coordination of resources associated with hands-on engineering education throughout the CEAS at CU Boulder. The custom ERP is critical to the day-to-day operational success of hands-on learning in the college, connecting up to 7K students annually to in-demand tools, resources, and support.
This role will occasionally represent the ITL Program on behalf of the IT Director and will directly engage with internal and external partners, vendors, and 3rd party partners to provide an invaluable ‘software-engineering lens’ during design, functionality, and integration discussions. The Senior Software Engineer assists the ITL Program’s IT Director with matters of budget, strategy, infrastructure, design, and reporting.
The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
This position is expected to work on campus 1-2 days per week. A final work arrangement will be determined with this position's supervisor at the time of hire.
