Role Description

We’re looking for Senior Software Engineers who want to build stuff that’ll have an impact. You’ll join our 5-person engineering team and own full-stack features that hundreds of thousands of learners and tutors use worldwide.

• Work directly with our designer and other stakeholders to build out new experiments and streamline existing operations.
• Drive progress and stay close to our end users to build a quality product.
• Address challenges at the intersection of UX, people ops, and technology to ensure high-quality and safe interactions.

Some examples of what we’ve worked on include:

• Building an AI simulation & coach to help tutors practice for their first tutoring session.
• Experimenting with new ways to connect tutors to learners wanting immediate homework help.
• Creating a moderation system to automatically recognize and act on safety issues.

• You can anticipate risks and make decisions that balance tradeoffs between speed, quality, and user experience.
• You have experience with Typescript, Node.js, React, Next.js, and Postgres (or can ramp up quickly).
• You build for users & have a nose for understanding what would help them the most.
• You move quickly while maintaining code quality.
• You fill in the gaps — you ask for help but still work independently.
• You’re available to work in a US timezone.

Requirements

• Deep technical experience with our stack: Typescript, Node.js, React, Next.js, Postgres, AWS, and GCP.
• Experience building mobile apps.
• Experience working in education or on an ed-tech product.

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
• Work-from-home stipend and professional development budget.
• Health, dental, vision (for US employees).
• Semesterly retreats and monthly regional meetups.
• Make an impact you can see.

• A 30-minute intro screen to learn more about you and understand whether this role is a mutual fit.
• A 45-minute screen where you'll read some code and brainstorm/prioritize product ideas.
• A 1-hour programming interview where you’ll fix bugs and implement features on a toy repo.
• A 1-hour systems design problem where you'll design a data model/API and handle challenges at scale.
