Software Engineer - API 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
The Developer Platform team is making it possible for anyone to build and sell amazing applications on top of the Qualtrics platform. We architect the APIs and own the high scale internet-facing entry point to all Qualtrics online services. We provide the tooling that enables all of Qualtrics to own and maintain their own high-quality, self-consistent, standards-based APIs. We’re at the very beginning of our journey - we invite you to join us!
