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:
- Build new, intuitive front-end features for educators using the Feedback Studio platform
- Enhance existing user interfaces for performance, accessibility, and responsiveness
- Improve the consistency and reliability of the grading workflow experience across devices
- Support greater product scalability, including performance under bulk usage and multi-user grading
As a Front-End Software Engineer on the P2D team, you’ll play a vital role in developing user-facing features that are performant, accessible, and delightful to use. You'll help design seamless UI experiences within our existing frameworks and collaborate closely with product designers, backend engineers, and other cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact improvements.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain responsive, modular front-end components using React and Stencil.js
- Integrate front-end interfaces with backend APIs in a scalable, maintainable way
- Work with TypeScript for safer, more predictable front-end code
- Ensure high accessibility standards (WCAG), cross-browser compatibility, and mobile responsiveness
- Collaborate with Product, UX, QA, and Support teams to refine designs and deliver intuitive features
- Write clean, well-documented code and participate in code reviews
Qualifications
- 5+ years of front-end development experience (or equivalent proficiency)
- Solid experience primarily with React or Stencil.js.
- Other modern web component frameworks such as Vue.js or Angular will be considered if paired with a strong ability and willingness to adapt.
- Proficiency with TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3 (including pre-processors like SCSS)
- Familiarity with modern build tools (e.g., Webpack, Gulp, Vite, etc.)
- Experience working with design systems and component-driven development
- A strong understanding of accessibility best practices
- Exposure to automated testing frameworks like Jest, React Testing Library, or Playwright
