Our Interview Process & AI Transparency
At Perceptyx, we’re on a mission to help organizations turn employee insights into measurable impact. Our employee experience platform leverages the science of listening, behavioral nudges, and predictive analytics to help clients elevate engagement, retention, and performance at scale. We are a team of innovators fueled by purpose, collaboration, and excellence — and we’re looking for someone who wants to play at the highest level.
Perceptyx is seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our global Technology organization. In this role, you will help bridge the gap between people analytics and organizational action by contributing to scalable, reliable, and maintainable software systems. You will work on software solutions that empower enterprise leaders to drive behavioral change, ensuring that workforce feedback actively leads to meaningful improvements across their organizations.
This is a hands-on development role where you will work primarily on backend engineering (approximately 60-70% of the workload) while having opportunities to design, develop, and integrate frontend features. You will work closely with business stakeholders, Product, Design, and Data Science teams to translate strategic goals into robust, large-scale applications.
- Full-Stack Software Development: Design, build, and maintain enterprise-grade applications using PostgreSQL, Python, Go, TypeScript, and React, with a primary focus (60-70%) on core backend architecture.
- Architecture & Implementation: Actively participate in the technical implementation, system analysis, and software design of multi-product platform services and cloud environments.
- Product Collaboration: Work in tight, iterative loops alongside product managers, UI/UX designers, and data scientists to turn high-level user needs into intuitive, impactful features.
- Code Quality & Governance: Write clean, highly performant, and well-documented code. Participate in constructive code reviews and ensure the thorough validation of detailed technical specifications.
- Scalability & Performance Optimization: Optimize backend database queries, reporting layers, and frontend components for maximum execution speed, data security, and enterprise-level scale.
- AI-Assisted Workflows: Seamlessly integrate modern AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) into your development lifecycle, employing precise prompt engineering and reviewing all outputs for safety, accuracy, and engineering quality.
- Experience: 5+ years of overall professional software development experience, including a minimum of 3 years of hands-on software design, scripting, and unit testing. Experience with distributed architectures or database-driven enterprise applications is highly preferred. We welcome backend-focused developers who are comfortable handling lighter frontend tasks as needed.
- Backend Technical Depth: Proficiency or strong working familiarity with Python. Experience with, or exposure to, Go is highly preferred. Use of databases.
- Frontend Basics: Familiarity with TypeScript and React, Vue.js is preferred. Exposure to general web technologies like JavaScript, CSS, Bootstrap, or Webpack is an asset.
- Language Proficiency: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the absolute ability to collaborate, document technical systems, and interview fluently in English.
- Problem-Solving & Professional Maturity: An analytical mind with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach to ambiguous engineering problems and a high degree of adaptability.
- Remote Agility: A disciplined self-starter who thrives when working independently within a remote, fast-paced, cross-functional agile environment.
- Inclusivity: A genuine willingness to collaborate with and learn from a global team of diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and functions.
- Education: Bachelor’s Degree (4-year) in Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience.
Bonus Points:
- Knowledge of, or a strong willingness to learn, Perl to support legacy backend systems.
- Experience with alternative data storage technologies (e.g., MySQL, MongoDB) or Unix/Linux operating environments.
- Familiarity with modern automated testing frameworks and cloud infrastructure monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog).
- Interest in modern DevOps practices, including automated CI/CD pipelines and containerization.
At Perceptyx, we value your time and want our interviewers to be fully engaged in the conversation.

- Your Choice (Opt-Out): Participation in recorded interviews is voluntary. If you prefer not to have your interview recorded via Metaview, please notify your recruiter prior to the start of the session. Opting out will not negatively impact your candidacy.

The Company
What We Do
Perceptyx combines employee surveys and people analytics in a way that not only helps you see more of what’s going on in your organization, but also helps you see how to drive the organization forward. Too many surveys only focus on measurement, with overly prescriptive models that don’t offer a fresh perspective on the challenges facing your business. And they rarely connect the dots between the employee experience and business outcomes, making it difficult to know which actions will have the greatest impact. With a solution fully tailored to your specific organizational needs, Perceptyx makes it possible for organizations to see more clearly, see the bigger picture, and see the next steps. It’s why nearly one-third of the Fortune 100 already rely on Perceptyx and why 95% of the organizations that come to us stay with us. - Perceptyx. See the way forward.
