The Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program welcomes applications for a Software Engineer (SE)! This position is a hands-on role responsible for full-stack development, including the design, implementation, and maintenance of both client-side components across proprietary web applications for up to 7k local users and 3M globally across a broad portfolio of tools and services.
