Software Development Manager - Research Platform
Company Description
At Qualtrics, our mission is to close experience gaps—the costly differences between what customers and employees expect, and what they’re receiving.
9,000+ organizations worldwide and more than 80% of the Fortune 100 rely on the Qualtrics Experience Management Platform™ to collect, analyze, and act on feedback—more feedback than they ever thought possible. With Qualtrics XM, organizations can manage the four core experiences of business—customer, employee, product, and brand experience. Organizations can be at every meaningful touchpoint, for every experience, and predict what will resonate most with customers and employees.
The Challenge
XM Solutions are expert-built tools for accelerating customer experience, employee experience, and market research. PhD-configured solutions combine best practices, easy distribution, and standardized reporting and dashboards. Instead of endless tinkering, our customers get fast configurations, easy survey deployment, automated data analysis, and easy-to-read dashboards — all tailored to their business needs. XM Solutions accelerate the experiences that are crucial to our customers’ businesses.
The teams in this group build frameworks which allow us to truly leverage the XM platform in use-based scenarios that deliver fast, guided and pre-configured value to our customers. We utilize a diverse set of open source and industry accepted technologies for our problems such as GoLang, React, Node, Java and Angular.
