POSITION PURPOSE

We are building a new B2B corporate learning and development platform and are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build it from the ground up.

As one of our founding engineers, you will play a key role in shaping both the product and the engineering culture. You’ll work across the full stack to design, build, and ship features that directly impact enterprise clients and thousands of learners.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll collaborate closely with Product, Learning, and Design to turn ideas into a scalable, secure, and delightful product.

Our technology stack includes TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and modern cloud infrastructure. More importantly, we’re looking for someone who enjoys solving real problems, writing clean software, and continuously improving how we build products.

We are a team that genuinely cares about learning, about each other, and about delivering meaningful outcomes for our clients. If that resonates with you, we’d love to meet you.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Build great product

• Design, develop, test, and maintain high-quality features across both frontend and backend systems.
• Build responsive and intuitive user experiences using React.
• Develop scalable and secure backend services and APIs using TypeScript, integrating with PostgreSQL and other platform services.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code that is easy for others to understand and extend.
• Participate throughout the software development lifecycle from discovery and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.

Deliver products that matter

• Work closely with Product, Learning, and Design teams to understand customer problems and turn requirements into working products.
• Contribute ideas during product discovery, helping shape solutions rather than simply implementing specifications.
• Take ownership of features from concept through production, ensuring quality, reliability, and performance.
• Help continuously improve the learner and administrator experience by focusing on usability, accessibility, and performance.

Technical excellence

• Contribute to architectural discussions and help evolve the platform as it grows.
• Review code thoughtfully and provide constructive feedback to teammates.
• Identify technical debt and proactively improve code quality, maintainability, and developer experience.
• Help establish engineering best practices around testing, documentation, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.
• Stay curious about emerging technologies and evaluate new tools where they provide real value.
