Who we are:
Our mission is to make sure employees get the credit they deserve for the skills training they already do. Many employers offer on-the-job training and now, with Craft, they can also provide a way for their employees to get college credit for that training.
Why are we focusing all our energy and expertise on this? Because with Craft, merit and effort - not money or connections - determine who gets ahead. We are re-seeding the American Dream through a more equitable approach to socioeconomic mobility by making sure that jobs are linked to skills that can be earned anywhere, rather than being limited to graduates from exclusive universities that few can access or afford.
What You’ll Do:
A Senior Application Engineer at Craft will have the opportunity to influence the product roadmap, future features and shape the product’s architecture as we grow. Key responsibilities include working with the team to design, build, test, and maintain a full-stack web application for a rapidly growing user base.
Specific responsibilities include:
● Work with our product manager and UX designer to understand and provide technical solutions to customer problems.
● Continue to develop the infrastructure of Craft’s web applications with skills in Docker and AWS. ● Build software from MVP to a fully functioning product using iterative and incremental development practices.
● Build complex, data intensive, stateful UI using React
● Develop efficient data structures in a relational database (PostgreSQL) to drive features, reports, and dashboards
● Develop backend services for features
● Develop a data graph in GraphQL that is efficient, secure, and concise
● Integrate with external services and APIs using REST and event streams.
● Participate in daily standups, as well as a weekly sprint cadence.
● Collaborate with other team members to contribute both strategically and directly through your code.
● Improve CI/CD pipelines and develop stronger CI/CD practices

● Architecture experience building production-ready web applications from the ground up.
● Experience working with Agile processes.
● Analytical and objective mindset, with the ability to partner with teammates who share this mindset.
● Ability to prioritize and get the highest impact things done.
● Ability to stay organized and focused, with a bias towards action, and ability to break down obstacles in your way.
● Strong communication skills with the ability to present information in verbal, written or visual form to a variety of audiences, from the internal team to client executives.
● Ability to self-manage and be an independent member within the larger project team.
● Ability to quickly learn products, technologies, and processes.
● Professional demeanor, able to manage a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
How You’ll Display Our Core Values:
● Focused & Creative: Putting our customers first and solving problems to bring Craft into existence is at the core of everything we are.
● Excited & Ambitious: We are super pumped to help people earn credit/credentials as they work towards a better life! This won’t be easy, but the best things never are.
● Succeeding Together: We must all work together to achieve our goals, or we all fail together. There are no silos at Craft and building something new is first and foremost a social exercise.
● Learning & Evolving: Listen to the market (and each other), adapt creatively and ship quickly.
