As an engineer on the C4B Integrations team, you will be responsible for designing and building scalable systems and tools that enable Coursera’s enterprise administrators to manage and monitor large-scale learning programs.

You’ll work on core features such as user and role management, contract setup and tracking, admin-led communications, skills planning tools, and detailed reporting dashboards. The team also owns integrations and APIs that connect Coursera to external LMS/LXP systems and helps streamline enterprise onboarding and ongoing support.
This role involves close collaboration with product managers, designers, QA, and cross-functional engineering teams including data, infrastructure, and SRE. You’ll help reduce operational overhead by building internal tools for Customer Success and Implementation teams, and play a key role in improving platform reliability, real-time analytics, and admin support ticket resolution.

- Develop and deploy your high-quality code (in Java, Scala or similar languages) following industry best practices and track key service level indicators (SLIs)
- Debug and fix production issues, lead blameless retrospectives, and participate in the on-call rotation to ensure adherence to the service level agreements (SLAs)
- Collaborate and mentor team members, and contribute to teams' success improving processes
Basic Qualifications:
- 3-6 years of experience working in a relevant backend software engineering role
- Proficient in implementing APIs and writing automated tests
- Expertise in using managed cloud services, streaming technologies and handling large data sets
- Prior experience in developing new features and debugging complex issues with minimal supervision
- Fervent belief in engineering quality and building technical leverage for others

Preferred Qualifications:
- Founding engineers or candidates with prior experience in start-up environments are preferred, specifically those who have been part of a bootstrapping team, small start-up team, or expansion team.
- Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, and navigate through ambiguity and uncertainty with confidence.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality products or services.
- Proven track record of delivering results in a resource-constrained environment with limited guidance and supervision.
