The role

IXL Learning, a global edtech leader with personalized learning products used by millions of students worldwide, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Lifecycle team and help maintain the pipelines and deployment systems that power containerized applications across IXL brands. The team is focused on automation, reliability, and developer productivity, helping brand engineering teams ship features quickly and safely. This role will be a key contributor to high-priority initiatives such as building reusable CI and deployment workflows, advancing automated testing strategies, and enabling smooth onboarding of new products onto our unified delivery systems.

Because these systems support multiple brands and engineering organizations, the role is highly dynamic — requiring collaboration across diverse teams and cultures, adapting to different ways of working, and helping to drive alignment as we extend our shared platforms more broadly.

This is a full-time position that requires you to be in our IXL headquarters office in San Mateo, CA.

Develop systems for artifact build and push, application validation, and automated deployment
Create and support dynamic test environments and database-aware testing strategies
Partner with brand engineering teams to ensure smooth, reliable releases
Collaborate on unifying CI and deployment workflows across repositories and brands
Provide support and troubleshooting for build and deployment pipelines
Contribute to developer productivity by improving reliability and reducing friction in release processes

What you need

Bachelor's or advanced degree in computer science/engineering or a related discipline
6+ years of professional experience with technical infrastructure and software engineering
Strong programming skills in at least one object-oriented language (Java, C++, etc.) and one scripting language (Python, Bash, etc.)
Experience building reusable CI and deployment systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
Hands-on experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
Experience managing cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across the stack
Effective collaborator with excellent communication skills
EAS/Expo or mobile release experience is a plus
Passion for building reliable systems that empower developers and improve product delivery
