Senior Software Engineer, Squad Lead

Why Join Pearson?

This is an opportunity to develop engineering talent, strengthen delivery and quality practices, and help teams adopt emerging AI-assisted ways of working across technology that supports assessment experiences at scale.

You will own complex technical work from design through delivery and operational readiness. You will contribute to architecture and technical decisions, improve engineering quality, troubleshoot critical issues, mentor colleagues and help modernise the platform.

You will remain hands-on while taking responsibility for the day-to-day technical delivery and results of a squad. You will guide engineers, coordinate work, remove obstacles, influence technical direction and work closely with business and functional leaders. This is technical and delivery leadership, not formal HR people management.

Experience with Azure, Kubernetes, cloud-native delivery, DevOps and CI/CD would be valuable. Exposure to applications using audio and video, accessibility and WCAG, observability, application security, performance engineering, LLMs or AI-assisted development tools would also be useful. These are differentiators rather than universal requirements.

United States. Remote within the United States. Any state restrictions or travel expectations will be shared during the recruitment process.

Applications will be accepted through November 9th, 2026. This window may be extended depending on business needs.
