The Challenge

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to assist our Digital Support Experience (DSX) team in localizing digital content into multiple languages to support our international growth. The DSX team is responsible for developing, maintaining, and marketing all aspects of the digital support offerings (including the Support Site, Customer Support Portal, and Qualtrics XM Community). The team consists of digital support product managers and technical writers focused on ensuring our customers have world class digital support and networking resources that enable them to maximize the power of the XM Platform. 

On a daily basis, you will work closely with our Web Engineering Team to develop scalable tech that will be used by the DSX team to deliver exceptional digital content to our international customers. Your features will set the industry standard for exceptional digital support and use cutting edge technology that will allow the team to ensure that customer issues are resolved as thoroughly as possible via digital channels. This includes:

• Responsibility for all technical development of localized DSX content: designing, testing, and implementing site improvements, and building world class localized support tools.
• Collaborating on digital localization strategy.
• Working closely with the Digital Marketing and DSX teams to ensure a smooth localized lead delivery process.

A Day in the Life

• Work with the DSX team to understand needs, propose features, build early prototypes, and transform them into exciting end consumer features.
• Work with the Web Engineering Team to develop scalable, fast, robust, and rich web-based solutions to solve complex business problems, using the latest front-end technologies.
• Architect efficient and reusable front-end systems that drive complex web applications.
• Build automation and tools to enable DSX to efficiently manage digital content.
• Attend daily stand-up meetings, collaborate with your peers, prioritize features, and work with a sense of urgency to deliver value to your key stakeholders.
• Contribute to the professional development of colleagues, improving their technical knowledge and the engineering practices on your team and across teams.
• Advise management on software development priorities, risks, and required effort level.
• As an engineer at Qualtrics, you are more than a developer. In addition to building, you test to make sure your work does not introduce customer pain, you put mechanisms in place to make sure the team knows if features aren’t behaving as expected, and you own delivering what you build to customers.
