You are an experienced Sr. Software Engineer passionate about leading engineering teams. You may want to head towards a management role, or you may enjoy a purely technical leadership position -- either way, we are looking for you. This is a great opportunity to work with an amazing team and drive the technology of learning products and platforms. We operate in a highly collaborative environment with Product and Design to build experiences that matter to our customers. At Varsity Tutors, engineers do not just write code, they actively participate in the conversation on what and how to build the systems and solutions that matter to our customers. If you love your customers as much as we do, we'd love to hear from you.
We use big data and machine learning, taking into account hundreds of variables, including Learner and Expert attributes, adaptive diagnostic assessments, and data from past learning experiences. But really, we are just getting started and have so much more headroom to innovate. As part of the team, you will architect scalable software solutions, understand and implement best practices, and create technology that is highly performant and extensible.
This position is a full-time remote opportunity! (We've been remote friendly for years and that isn't going away).
