Overview

Pearson has one defining goal: to help people progress in their lives through learning. We champion innovation and we invest in models for education that deliver on our promise for effective, accessible, and personal learning from early literacy, college and career readiness to professional education, through data informed instruction and inventive applications for mobile and digital learning.

Pearson, the world's leading learning company, has global-reach and market leading businesses in education, business, and consumer publishing and is listed on the London and New York stock exchanges (UK: PSON; NYSE: PSO). For more information, visit www.pearson.com.

Pearson is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, and a member of E-Verify. All qualified applicants, including minorities, women, veterans, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

We’re looking for senior engineers who revel in solving deep technical problems using the best available technologies. The position demands someone who can engineer the entire system, ensuring that all aspects fit the current need and can grow into future needs.

The ideal candidate is an experienced, motivated engineer with a passion for solving hard problems at internet scale. We want people who want to dig into difficult technical solutions, engage in design sessions with other expert technologists and push the envelope with novel solutions. Scale and performance are not optional. We work in multiple technologies and often evaluate new languages and technologies, demonstrated ability to work in different languages is necessary.

The Enterprise Infrastructure team is responsible for researching, designing, implementing and integrating complex services and applications. Our systems handle more than 1 billion transactions per day – we’re serious about scale. Our applications serve as a foundation for the development and integration of end-user applications – we support caching, eventing, configuration and other enterprise-wide application needs.

Responsibilities

We’re looking for a software engineer who can design and implement back-end systems in an “always-on” highly available environment. The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience building high-performance, high-scale, reliable applications. We strongly believe in using the right tool for the job, so we want somebody who can dig into new technologies – understanding what they’re good at, what they’re not good at and where they could fit into our ecosystem.

You will be a member of a small team of strong engineers who design, implement and support applications and APIs that other development teams at Pearson will use as infrastructure in order to produce their applications. Our systems are at the core of the education experience for millions of people. While we use some “Enterprise” language features and tools, we feel that solving problems at internet scale often requires other tools.

Qualifications

Minimum of 5 (five) years of experience in software engineering.

Experience that we like to see in an engineer:
- Extensive experience in 1 or more OO languages (Java preferred, but not required)
- Multiple programming languages
- RESTful services

Some of the tools and languages that we use are (and we’d like to see experience with a few of these tools or others that are like them): Java, Erlang, Cassandra, MongoDB, node.js, Titan graph database, AMQP, AWS, RestExpress, Hadoop, relational databases, Puppet, HTML5, Python, Ruby. We like Open Source projects with active communities.
