Overview

Impact the Moment

Do you enjoy testing the limits of possibility? At McGraw Hill, our Sr. Software Engineers drive progress and help build the future of learning. If you have the passion and technical expertise to thrive in an innovative and agile environment, we want to learn more about you.

McGraw Hill’s Roles, Permissions, and Access (RPA) team is responsible for the core authorization platform that powers access for millions of instructors, students, and administrators across our Higher Ed ecosystem. We design and operate low-latency, fault-tolerant backend Go that enforce fine-grained access control at enterprise scale.

We are looking for a highly collaborative Senior Software Engineer with strong CS fundamentals, who combines strong technical execution with relentless drive toward success, a bias for action, and the willingness to master high performance, large-scale distributed systems.

How can you make an impact?

In this role, you will be the linchpin of the product – a technical expert who helps integrate multiple platforms into a comprehensive user authorization solution.

As an education innovation company, we're proud to play our part by inspiring learners around the world. If you bring your curiosity, we'll help you grow in a collaborative environment where everyone shares a passion for success. Even if you are not currently looking for a change, we encourage you to apply now and speak to the hiring manager to learn about the opportunity.

This is a remote position available to candidates authorized to work for any employer in the United States, with a preference for those located in the East Coast Time Zone.

What you’ll do:

  • Hands-On Development: Design, build, test, and maintain scalable, secure, and efficient back-end systems and APIs that support web and mobile applications.
  • Technical Execution: Translate technical designs and product requirements into high-quality, maintainable software solutions under the guidance of engineering leadership.
  • Collaboration: Partner with other engineers, product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to deliver seamless and robust platform functionality.
  • Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable code and contribute to code reviews, automated testing, and engineering best practices to ensure high-quality software delivery.
  • Performance & Reliability: Help optimize server performance, database queries, and system scalability to ensure reliable and responsive applications.
  • Operational Excellence: Support monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident resolution efforts using observability tools, including participation in off-hours support when needed.
  • Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the adoption of modern tools, technologies, and development methodologies that improve team efficiency and product quality.
  • Team Contribution: Share knowledge with peers, support junior engineers when appropriate, and contribute positively to a collaborative engineering culture.

What you bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience preferred.
  • 5+ years of applicable experience in software engineering or back-end development.
  • Strong experience with server-side programming languages such as Python, Java, Node.js, Ruby, or Go.
  • Experience in designing and developing REST APIs and working with microservices in low-latency, high-availability environments.
  • Good understanding of database technologies, both relational (for example PostgreSQL, MySQL) and non-relational (for example MongoDB, DynamoDB).
  • Experience working in cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure and familiarity with infrastructure as code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
  • Knowledge of system performance optimization, caching strategies, and distributed systems concepts.
  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as New Relic, Datadog, or equivalent.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
  • Familiarity with web security best practices and OWASP guidelines.

Nice to have:

  • Experience working on platform services related to authorization, permissions, identity, or access management.
  • Experience contributing to shared services or internal developer platforms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
