Software Engineer II - Engineering Services
The Qualtrics XM Platform™ is a system of action that helps businesses to attract customers who stay longer and buy more, to engage and empower employees to do the best work of their lives, to develop breakthrough products people love, and to build a brand people can’t imagine living without.
Joining Qualtrics means becoming part of a team bold enough to chase breakthrough experiences - like building a technology that will be a force for good. A team committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion because of a conviction that every voice holds value, with a vision for representation that matches the world around us and inclusion that far exceeds it. You could belong to a team whose values center on transparency, being all in, having customer obsession, acting as one team, and operating with scrappiness. All so you can do the best work of your career.
We believe every interaction is an opportunity. Are we yours?
The Challenge
Engineering Services creates the most powerful experience management programs for Qualtrics' most sophisticated and strategic customers. When a client needs capabilities that reach beyond Qualtrics' current platform, Engineering Services builds solutions to unlock the full potential of the XM platform. These solutions are then folded into the platform to benefit even more customers. Engineering Services works hand-in-hand with other service and engineering teams to scope statements of work that involve the design, build, and maintenance of the technology behind end-to-end XM programs. We utilize a variety of technologies to partner with teams across the company to influence product roadmaps and incubate new lines of businesses.

- 2+ years of experience in a software engineering capacity
- Ability to work in a fast-paced and agile development environment and to learn new frameworks/stacks
- Have a focused approach to testing and quality assurance
- Experience with current web technologies and distributed systems is immediately applicable (although not a hard requirement)
- Experience with software engineering standard methodologies (e.g. unit testing, code reviews, design documents)
