Mid-level Software Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Mid-level Software Engineer based in United States.

This is an opportunity to join a small, collaborative engineering team building products used by learners and tutors around the world.
You’ll own full-stack features from early concepts and experiments through deployment and iteration.
The role combines hands-on software development with product thinking, user research, and close collaboration with designers and stakeholders.
You’ll help solve challenges at the intersection of technology, user experience, safety, and scalable peer-to-peer learning.
Engineers are encouraged to take meaningful ownership, make thoughtful technical decisions, and stay close to the people using what they build.
The environment is fast-moving and remote, with flexibility, autonomy, and a strong emphasis on empathy and continuous learning.
Your work will directly contribute to helping students learn, connect, and develop skills for a changing world.

Accountabilities

• Work closely with users, teammates, designers, and stakeholders to understand problems, generate product ideas, and identify opportunities for improvement.

• Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL, or the ability to become productive with these technologies quickly.

• Ability to explain technical and product tradeoffs clearly and demonstrate sound reasoning behind implementation decisions.

• Strong user orientation, with an ability to understand user needs and translate them into practical product and engineering solutions.

• Ability to move quickly while maintaining a high standard of code quality, maintainability, and reliability.

• Comfortable working independently, identifying gaps, asking for help when appropriate, and taking initiative to solve problems.

• Willingness to contribute beyond a narrowly defined role when another approach or responsibility can better serve users.

• Strong communication, collaboration, empathy, and problem-solving skills.

• Preferred: Deep experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP.

• Preferred: Experience developing mobile applications.
