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 the Employee Experience customer base has grown, so have the needs for more tailored insights and data visualizations. With hundreds of thousands to millions of data points getting processed in our dashboards at any given time, it’s critical that the performance of our products continue to scale with our growth. We’re building a whole new team within the Employee Experience organization to do this, and we need your help!

As a Staff Software Engineer on this team, you will be applying your distributed systems knowledge, familiarity with front end technologies (react, angularjs, rendering data), databases, various storage engines, and web service design and implementation to build reliable, highly performant and scalable software and services. You will also serve as a mentor to an incredibly talented team and have the opportunity to have far reaching, cross-organizational impact.

Each team also has freedom of choosing the stack on each project, allowing engineers to experiment and learn new, up and coming technologies like Galera, React, and AWS technology including elastic scaling. Primarily, our stack includes Node.js, Java, ReactJS, JavaScript, mongoDB, and Cassandra.
