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.

All so you can do the best work of your career.
We believe every interaction is an opportunity. Are we yours?
About the TeamAt Qualtrics, “Odo” is the name we’ve given to our collection of custom-built internal software tools that employees use on a daily basis.
The Odo Platform team architects, develops, and maintains Odo, providing platform functionality to other engineering teams and building applications that power business critical processes for Qualtrics. This includes things like:
- Fully searchable pages for Qualtrics users, brands, customers, licenses, employees, tickets, wikis, and more.
- A suite of custom tools for performance ratings, compensation adjustments, and equity/stock grants that is used by all managers at Qualtrics.
- An employee directory that includes badges/achievements and is used by 95% of Qualtrics employees at least once a week.
- A mobile-first progressive web app that includes Odo’s most broadly used tools.
- A set of APIs that allows other Qualtrics engineering teams to integrate with Odo - which other teams have used to build 100+ integrations so far, accounting for 150,000+ API requests per day.
One of the best things about our team is that we get to directly see the impact of the tools we build on the lives of our coworkers - we make life better for our friends and colleagues.
