  • A builder with a curious mind and exceptional attention to detail, who loves crafting outstanding software.
  • A forward thinking technologist with an appreciation for human centered product design. You'll work in a cross functional capacity to understand customer needs and invent on their behalf to enable even better solutions than what we have today.

  • Passionate about data, innovation, and using technology to unlock the future.
  • Good communication skills, ability to partner with product and design, and collaborate on cross-functional teams.


Ways we work:

  • Provide architectural, strategic, and scale recommendations for both front-end and back-end development
  • Test-Driven Development - we take ownership for our code without QA engineers
  • Pair programming - we value collaborative development
  • Continuous Delivery - teams independently ship code to prod every day
  • Kanban & Lean - no more backlog grooming, no more T-shirt size estimating
  • Continual improvement - we take time to sharpen the saw and adjust how we work
  • Human centered design - involved engineers who participate in customer research through the design and implementation to ensure we are addressing our customer's needs
  • Autonomous & responsible teams - collaborate with Product Manager and Product Designer to better understand the customer, provide valuable input into project feasibility and timeline estimation, standards, layouts, navigational features, functional design, and usability

An Insider's view of Pluralsight

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Oh, it is incredible here. Pluralsight constantly reminds me how important I am to the company both personally and professionally. Pluralsight creates a space where I can work, grow, and connect with similar people in so many different parts of the world while still leaving enough room for me to focus and find joy in my personal life as well.

Executive Assistant to the CMO

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

The goal of a user profile is to provide a sense of identity in a personalized and centralized portfolio. Today, users provide this data in many different ways throughout the platform. Our greatest challenge is to build a unified profile with a centralized view of a user’s data to paint one clear picture of all their interactions in the platform.

What does career growth look like on your team?

We embrace a mindset of continuous improvement and encourage team members to take ownership of their careers. As part of that, we advise leaders and team members to co-create development plans. Whether it be up-skilling, re-skilling, or expanding their influence we believe in investing skills development and facilitating growth experiences.

SVP of Skills Content Platform

What makes someone successful on your team?

A successful individual brings their true self to work. Teams do not benefit from a group that contains like minded individuals from similar backgrounds. We learn so much from each other and about ourselves when we have a team with diverse ways of thinking and experiences. It also creates a healthy, challenging environment that befits the company.
