Full Stack Developer (Platform & Integrations)
At Robots & Pencils, we build meaningful, scalable software experiences that help innovative organizations move faster and smarter. We are seeking a Full Stack Developer to support the development and delivery of complex, integration-heavy platforms. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives in hands-on development, can confidently own features and deployments, and contributes to team leadership within a pod.
In this role, you will work as a key contributor on a cross-functional team, building across the stack while helping guide delivery, improve systems, and solve challenging integration problems. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering teammates to ensure high-quality, scalable solutions reach production.
Why This Role Matters
At Robots & Pencils, we build smart systems for the human world. This role plays a critical part in making that real by connecting platforms, enabling seamless user experiences, and ensuring the systems behind them are reliable and scalable.
You are not just shipping features; you are helping shape how systems integrate, how teams deliver, and how products evolve, contributing directly to meaningful outcomes for users and clients.
Key Responsibilities
Full Stack Engineering & Delivery
Build and maintain frontend applications using React, TypeScript, and Material UI
Develop backend services and RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express
Contribute to scalable, maintainable architecture across distributed systems
Support integration with platforms such as MAPI, iHub, PLAT services, LMS/LTI (Canvas, Blackboard), and IAM systems
AI-Augmented Development
Treat AI-assisted development (e.g., Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as a baseline capability, integrating these tools seamlessly into your daily workflow to improve speed and efficiency
Apply thoughtful prompt engineering and structured interaction patterns to produce reliable, maintainable code
Go beyond basic AI assistance by leveraging more advanced techniques (e.g., spec-driven development, test-driven prompting, and iterative refinement workflows) to improve code quality, consistency, and alignment with requirements
Use AI tools to support the full development lifecycle, including design exploration, implementation, testing, and documentation
Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape, critically evaluating and adopting new tools or practices that meaningfully improve developer productivity and outcomes
Technical Ownership
Own release cuts, including PR reviews and deployment coordination
Manage environment configurations, secrets, and package upgrades
Debug and resolve complex system and integration issues
Build proofs of concept (POCs) to validate new features and approaches
Pod Contribution & Leadership
Lead or support Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives)
Partner with Product Managers to refine and deliver epics and requirements
Act as a technical point of contact within the pod and across collaborating teams
Provide guidance and context to teammates to support delivery and quality
Communication & Collaboration
Communicate deployment schedules and technical updates to stakeholders
Document architectural decisions (ADRs) and key system behaviors
Collaborate with SRE, Engineering, Product, and Content teams to ensure alignment
Contribute to a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement

Required Skills & Experience
5+ years of professional software development experience delivering production applications
Strong full-stack engineering experience across modern web technologies
AI Dev Tooling: Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent AI-assisted development tools
Experience owning features through development, testing, and deployment
Ability to debug and resolve complex issues across distributed systems
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum practices and team-based delivery
Experience working with APIs, integrations, and platform-based architectures
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines
Preferred Skills
Experience with LMS/LTI platforms (Canvas, Blackboard)
Familiarity with enterprise integration platforms (MAPI, iHub, PLAT)
Experience with cloud-native environments and observability tools
Exposure to AI-assisted development tools and workflows
Personal Attributes
Ownership Mindset: Takes responsibility for delivering high-quality, reliable solutions
