What your new team and job look like...
The Moodle Marketplace is a trusted, centralised, peer-to-peer e-commerce platform that connects creators of Moodle plugins and integrations with Moodle users who are looking for free and paid solutions to enhance and extend their Moodle sites. It improves on the existing Moodle Plugins Directory, addressing its limitations while delivering new features and benefits. We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to join the Marketplace team.
You will have the opportunity to be part of a new team that will contribute to the overall success of the Moodle ecosystem. You will be involved in the design, implementation and rollout of the product, work on complex integration problems, help the team to navigate uncertainty and make effective decisions, based on research, feedback and careful reasoning.
You will be part of a team that values learning, reflection and introspection, and is always open to improvement as a team and as individuals.
At Moodle, no two days will ever be the same, but most days in this role usually involve a mix of:
- Building architecturally consistent software that aligns with product roadmap, consistently shipping features and bug fixes.
- Coordinating with product leadership on priorities and helping meet business objectives.
- Understanding technical and UX constraints and ensuring informed decision-making.
- Collaborating with UX Design and Research on problem solving.
