The Qualtrics XM Platform™ is a system of action that helps businesses to attract customers who stay longer and buy more, to engage and empower employees to do the best work of their lives, to develop breakthrough products people love, and to build a brand people can’t imagine living without.
Joining Qualtrics means becoming part of a team bold enough to chase breakthrough experiences - like building a technology that will be a force for good. A team committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion because of a conviction that every voice holds value, with a vision for representation that matches the world around us and inclusion that far exceeds it. You could belong to a team whose values center on transparency, being all in, having customer obsession, acting as one team, and operating with scrappiness. All so you can do the best work of your career.
We believe every interaction is an opportunity. Are we yours?
The Challenge
An Employee’s experience at any given company is more relevant now than ever. Qualtrics’ Employee Experience product suite has had the most growth year over year out of any of our other products. We're building services that will illuminate business’s next opportunity to create better managers, develop more careers, build stronger teams, and predict success all through the power of ongoing employee feedback.
As a Software Development Engineer, you will be applying your distributed systems knowledge, familiarity with full-stack development, databases, various storage engines, and web service design and implementation to build extraordinary software and services. Each team has freedom on choosing the stack on each project, allowing engineers to experiment and learn new, up and coming technologies like GoLang, Scala, Spark and Galera. Primarily, our stack includes Node.js, Java, ReactJS, JavaScript, mongoDB, MySQL, and Cassandra.
You should love building simple solutions to solve hard customer problems, and crafting systems to withstand hyper growth. You'll have a high level of ownership on everything you work on, which is a rewarding challenge and one of the reasons Qualtrics is such a great place to grow your career!
