Staff Full Stack Engineer, Surveys
About the Role
As a Staff Full Stack Engineer on the Surveys squad, you’ll help lead the next phase for Panorama’s first and most foundational product.
Surveys sit at the core of how districts understand student experience and well-being, supporting insight and action for educators serving 14 million+ students at schools nationwide.
This is a senior technical leadership role focused on building the right systems, guiding the right decisions, and enabling teams to deliver meaningful work sustainably. You’ll operate as a technical partner to Product and Design, a mentor and force multiplier for engineers on the Surveys squad, and a senior technical contributor across Panorama’s engineering
organization—helping shape shared patterns, standards, and long-term technical direction.
You’ll spend your time across three modes: setting technical direction, unblocking and guiding complex execution, and diving deep into the codebase when the hardest problems demand hands-on leadership.
This role is ideal for someone who values building for the long haul, clear ownership, and outsized impact through both their own work, the success of their squad, and the health of the broader engineering organization.
What You’ll Do
Technical Leadership & Squad Enablement
- Act as the primary technical partner for the Surveys squad, translating complex product needs into durable, incremental technical plans.
- Guide architectural decisions and technical tradeoffs, balancing short-term delivery with long-term system health.
- Identify technical risks early and lead the team through complex rollouts, migrations, and performance-sensitive changes.
- Mentor engineers through pairing, code reviews, and technical guidance, helping expand their scope and confidence.
- Raise the bar for engineering quality, testing practices, and maintainability through both example and feedback.
- Model strong engagement through consistent presence, clear communication, and follow-through across the Surveys squad and adjacent teams.
Systems Ownership & Product Impact
- Design, build, and maintain full stack features and systems that power survey administration, response collection, reporting, and insights.
- Take ownership of a large, long-lived system, strengthening its foundations while modernizing how it’s built, scaled, and extended.
- Balance new feature development with sustained investment in platform health, technical debt reduction, and operational excellence.
- Partner closely with Product and Design to ensure survey experiences are intuitive, accessible, performant, and aligned with real customer needs.
Thoughtful AI & Automation
- Identify where AI and data-driven techniques can meaningfully improve survey workflows, insight quality, or internal tooling—and where they should not be used.
- Collaborate with Data Science and platform teams to integrate AI-assisted capabilities in ways that are production-ready, responsible, and maintainable.
- Help set technical standards for how the Surveys squad evaluates, adopts, and evolves AI-powered features over time.
Org-Level Staff Contribution - Serve as a senior technical voice within the Surveys squad and across the broader engineering organization.
- Collaborate with other Staff and Principal engineers to align architectural patterns, practices, and technical direction.
- Contribute to shared standards and help evolve Panorama’s engineering practices through design discussions, reviews, and mentorship beyond the squad.
- Share work, learnings, and technical decisions broadly, helping increase visibility and alignment across the organization.
