Job Title: Senior Software Engineer
Location: Remote

Who We Are

HMH is a learning technology company committed to delivering connected solutions that engage learners, empower educators, and improve student outcomes. As a leading provider of K–12 core curriculum, supplemental and intervention solutions and professional learning services, HMH partners with educators and school districts to uncover solutions that unlock students' potential and extend teachers' capabilities. HMH serves more than 50 million students and 4 million educators in 150 countries.

HMH Labs is an incubation team within HMH, focused on the development and customer experience of emerging technologies, including generative AI, for the classroom. Following the acquisition of Writable Inc in February 2024, HMH Labs was formed to continue building and maintaining Writable (the application) and as an incubator for new digital solutions. Writable is a digital practice and feedback platform for grades 3-12 that scaffolds student learning and guides teachers in their instruction. Our team works with 16k+ schools and districts to help educators communicate with every student in the moment, save time on prep and grading, and maximize the impact of their curriculum and resources. We are a small, focused, and fun team with a strong mission to support and help educators and students.

What you’ll do

Senior Software Engineers within HMH Labs are responsible for feature development and maintenance throughout the entire software development life cycle. While areas of expertise are leveraged, all developers are full-stack producers with regular opportunities to learn and apply new skills.
HMH Labs is a small, highly agile group within HMH, whose engineers operate with considerable autonomy. This is excellent for self-starters and independent problem solvers but would not be ideal if you prefer a more structured environment. You will report directly to an SVP and enjoy frequent collaboration with senior leaders, engineers, subject matter experts, and classroom success/support personnel.

Why You’ll be a Great Fit for this Role

You are passionate about building great software.
You combine a solid theoretical foundation with a pragmatic developer mindset.
You see education technology (EdTech) as an interesting and rewarding field.
You are excited about having direct input on product and technical direction.
You genuinely care about end users, consistently striving to limit and quickly resolve functional and performance issues.
You ask questions and collaborate to ensure timely, successful completion of projects.
You take change in stride, accepting frequent priority shifts and mutable requirements.
You care less about which tool/stack you’re using than about using it to do great work.

What you’ll need

Qualifications

BA/BS degree preferred.
Prior experience as a senior level developer/engineer.
Full-stack development experience.
Self-motivated with ability to take direction, seek input, and work independently.
Able to work remotely.
Working hours aligned with US time zones (UTC -5/-8).

What Tools/Technologies Will You Use:
The answer will vary depending on the project and the day. There will be front end work in HTML5 and backend work with ASP.NET MVC, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. You may also work with Angular, React, Java, and any number of libraries and tools to facilitate integrations with other HMH properties and a wide array of tools for AI development work.

Salary Range - 104K - 155K annually.

Application Deadline:
The application window for this position is anticipated to close on March 31, 2025 . We encourage you to apply as soon as possible. The posting may be available past this date but is not guaranteed.
