Title: Senior Software Engineer

Time: Full-Time (US Timezones / Meetings in US Pacific Time mornings)

Location: Remote, USA

Compensation: $197,000 - $207,000 / year

Our client is on a mission to unlock every student's potential through free, peer-powered learning and real, human connection. Founded by Sal Khan, the platform is a peer-to-peer learning environment focused on preserving the human side of education — connecting over 200,000 learners across 180+ countries globally through tutoring, dialogues, and community.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will join a close-knit, 5-person engineering team and own full-stack products end-to-end that directly impact learners and tutors worldwide. You will work in small, cross-functional pods alongside designers and stakeholders to define ambiguous problems, build and test MVPs, ship experiments, and iterate rapidly. This role requires product-minded engineers who can wear multiple hats, talk directly to users, and drive high-impact features from initial concept through launch.

• Own full-stack features end-to-end, working directly with non-technical users and stakeholders to define problems, scope MVPs, build, and iterate on solutions.
• Collaborate in cross-functional pods with engineers, designers, and program leads to stand up new learning programs and experiments (e.g., project-based learning, new peer interaction formats).
• Contribute strong product thinking by interviewing users, proposing solutions, and balancing technical feasibility with user needs rather than just executing on tickets.
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable code across the stack using TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and Postgres, while improving patterns for future development.
• Review code, pair with teammates, and participate in on-call rotations (approximately 1 week every 6 weeks) to keep the platform reliable, performant, and safe.

• 5 to 13 years of experience in full-stack software engineering.
• Demonstrated track record of shipping full-stack products end-to-end to thousands of users.
• Proven experience working at a small or early-stage startup environment.
• Strong proficiency with typed languages and relational databases, specifically TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and Postgres (or similar stack).
• Ability to define user problems, work directly with non-technical stakeholders, and propose product solutions.
• Genuine interest in social impact and an education-focused mission.
• Must be a US Citizen or Green Card holder (visa sponsorship is not available for this role).
• Experience with AWS or GCP cloud infrastructure is a plus.
• Experience in ed-tech, marketplaces, or real-time/video products is a plus.
