Software Engineer, Full Stack

Raleigh, NC

The Team + The Role

Pendo’s feature teams build the experiences that help customers understand their users, improve their products, and get more value from their software. Engineers work closely with Product and Design to solve meaningful customer problems, from evolving widely used product experiences to building entirely new capabilities.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer with a strong frontend focus to help build what’s next. In this role, you’ll work primarily in Vue, JavaScript, and TypeScript, while contributing across the stack to deliver polished customer experiences and the backend services and APIs that power them. You’ll also use AI as a core part of your development workflow and contribute to AI-powered product capabilities, including work with MCP, LLMs, and emerging technologies across Pendo.

This role is based in our Raleigh office.

What this looks like day-to-day

• Feature delivery: Own well-scoped features from implementation through production. Break work into small, independently shippable increments and deliver consistent progress toward team goals.
• Full-stack engineering: Build across the frontend and backend, with a strong lean toward TypeScript and Vue.js. Deliver polished, reliable customer-facing experiences while contributing to the backend services and APIs that power them.
• AI and MCP development: Build and expand MCP and AI-powered capabilities that help customers interact with, understand, and act on their Pendo data. Work with emerging technologies such as LLMs and agentic workflows where they support meaningful product outcomes.
• Production engineering: Write maintainable, production-ready code and apply testing strategies appropriate to the risk of your changes. Follow established patterns for safe rollout, release, and operation in production.
• AI-enabled development: Use AI coding tools as a core part of your daily workflow. Apply strong engineering judgment, review rigor, and accountability to AI-generated code just as you would to your own.
• Technical collaboration: Participate actively in planning and technical discussions. Provide useful code review feedback and collaborate with teammates to move shared work forward.
• Continuous improvement: Build deeper knowledge of the systems you work in and identify recurring issues, risks, and opportunities for improvement. Raise ways to improve code quality, reliability, and how the team delivers software.

Who You Are

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.

You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Software Engineers don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.

You're AI-curious - genuinely.

You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.

Must-haves

• 2+ years of experience as a Software Engineer building and shipping production web applications.
• Experience building full-stack applications, including backend services and APIs, with strong frontend experience using JavaScript or TypeScript and a component-based framework such as Vue, React, or Angular.
• Daily use of AI tools as part of your software development workflow.
• Ability to independently deliver well-scoped features and break work into small, deliverable increments.
• Experience applying unit, integration, or end-to-end testing strategies appropriate to the risk and scope of a change.
• Experience identifying risks and blockers in your work, raising them early, and continuing to drive progress independently.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, including participation in planning, technical discussions, and code reviews.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Vue and TypeScript.
• Experience building applications that operate on large-scale datasets, including millions or billions of records, long-running queries, or asynchronous processing.
• Experience building AI-powered product features using technologies such as LLM APIs, agents, or Model Context Protocol.
• Experience with Go or GCP.
• Familiarity with safe deployment and rollout patterns such as feature flags and canary releases.
• Experience building accessible, inclusive web experiences.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Raleigh, NC. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Raleigh compares. Among the 100 largest places in North Carolina, Raleigh is #2 by population, #20 for remote work (#1 = most), #22 for college degrees (#1 = most), #75 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Wake County, is #4 of 100 counties for average pay ($76,807).

The place in numbers

Raleigh has 481,031 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.5% of the population of North Carolina. It covers 151 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,187 people per square mile. The median age is 34.7, 11% younger than the state median (34.7 against 39.1).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,572 a month (rent plus utilities), 28% above the state median ($1,572 against $1,228). Over a year that is 22.1% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $415,800, which is 4.9 times the median household income ($85,395). 50.8% of households own their home, 24% below the state average (50.8% against 66.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Raleigh-Cary, NC metropolitan area has 743,120 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,990 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,990 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (79,180 jobs, median $47,310); sales and related (74,800 jobs, median $42,450); food preparation and serving related (66,380 jobs, median $30,480). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.7 times) and life, physical, and social science (1.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($132,650) and computer and mathematical ($107,760). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Wake County was 2.8%. 70.8% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Wake County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 62.3% drive alone, 1.4% use public transit, 1.6% walk, 25.8% work from home. 9.0% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 35% below the state average (9.0% against 13.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

54.0% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 51% above the state share (54.0% against 35.6%). 13.8% of residents were born outside the United States, 52% above the state share (13.8% against 9.1%). The poverty rate is 11.9%, 9% below the state rate (11.9% against 13.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 80°F (26.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 38°F (3.4°C). About 1,187 mm (47 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Aug is the wettest month (127 mm) and Jan the driest (72 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Knightdale (9 miles, rent 6% higher); Garner (10 miles, similar rent); Cary (11 miles, rent 11% higher); Morrisville (11 miles, rent 18% higher). Rent differences are against Raleigh; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
