About Scholarly

Scholarly is building the next generation of AI-powered software for higher education with a faculty-first focus. As institutions face a wave of digital transformation, our mission is to become the AI-native system of record for faculty data. Our platform unifies fragmented workflows into a single, intelligent system - powering annual reviews, promotion & tenure, appointment tracking, and more - while eliminating manual data entry and improving decision-making for institutions. We’re a mission-driven, product-focused team shaping the future of higher education.

Position Overview

Scholarly is looking for a full-stack software engineering team to join the company on-site in Seattle.

We're looking for mid-level and senior-level full-stack candidates with 5 or more years of experience building web applications. We write Ruby and Rails, but we are considering candidates with experiences in other stacks. You can read about how we work in this blog post. You can read about our hiring loop in this blog post.

Engineering is based in Seattle and on-site in Pioneer Square. Looking to get back to a collaborative, in-office culture post-COVID? Let's chat.

Key Responsibilities

Work collaboratively with fellow engineers to develop and maintain the Scholarly product. We start off most efforts as pair/group tickets or projects and then scale down to individuals as we understand the scope of work better.
Participate in the on-call rotation. On-call is a weekly rotation that we invest in making smooth.
Weigh in on product decisions. Engineers implementing designs and customer requests are left with a lot of nuance and discretion, and we expect our engineers to think critically about the different product tradeoffs we might be making.
Own engineering efforts end-to-end. Our jobs as engineers aren't done when the code is shipped, but when the customer is happy.

Qualifications

5 or more years of experience with Ruby on Rails or an equivalent web framework.
4-year degree in computer science is a plus, but not required.
Experience working with relational databases (MySQL, Postgres, etc.)
Authorized to work in the United States (citizen or green card holder). We're not able to sponsor visas at this time.
Excited to work on-site in Seattle 5 days per week.
