Job Description

Turnitin’s Paper to Digital (P2D) is an innovative extension of Feedback Studio that helps educators transition from grading handwritten assignments to a fully digital workflow. It allows scanned paper submissions—whether short answers, diagrams, or multiple-choice—to be securely uploaded, matched with students, and graded consistently online. P2D improves efficiency, reduces bias, and supports large-scale assessment needs in both remote and in-person settings.

We’re expanding the P2D team to :

  • Develop new end-user features that enhance the digital grading experience
  • Improve and maintain existing backend systems for long-term performance and stability
  • Ensure the platform continues to meet high standards of reliability, scalability, and security
  • Support growing usage demands, including bulk uploads and collaborative grading workflows

As a Senior Software Engineer – Backend, you’ll help build and evolve the backend systems that support P2D’s core capabilities. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex problems at scale and contributing to meaningful improvements in education technology.

You will :

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services
  • Work with serverless architecture using AWS Lambda and related cloud technologies
  • Collaborate closely with QA, Product, UX, and Support teams to ensure smooth delivery
  • Contribute to technical discussions and decisions that shape the future of the product
  • Champion best practices for code quality, testing, and monitoring
  • Responsibilities :

  • Contribute towards design and develop robust, scalable backend services using AWS Lambda
  • Design / implement RESTful APIs and event-driven systems
  • Optimize existing services for improved performance and cost-efficiency
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate backend services with frontend applications
  • Implement and maintain CI / CD pipelines with github actions
  • Conduct code reviews and collaborate with other engineers
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in production environments
  • Continue to grow and learn as a software engineer
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years of backend development experience (distributed systems or microservices preferred).
  • Strong Java skills and Maven proficiency.
  • Solid experience with AWS serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, Step Functions).
  • Familiar with event-driven architecture and microservices design.
  • Hands-on experience with DynamoDB, or a strong foundation with NoSQL and eagerness to learn DynamoDB rapidly.
  • Proficient in developing automated tests for backend services.
