About this Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 3-13 years of experience to join Schoolhouse.world's 5-person engineering team and own full-stack products that impact 200k+ learners across 180+ countries. Founded by Sal Khan, Schoolhouse is a peer-to-peer learning platform focused on preserving the human side of education, connecting students globally through tutoring, dialogues, and community. You'll work in small pods alongside designers and stakeholders to define problems, ship experiments, and iterate quickly. We need product-minded engineers who can wear multiple hats, talk directly to users, and drive projects from ambiguous problem through launch. This is a rare chance to build something that helps people at a critical moment for human-centered education.

What will you be doing?

  • Own full-stack features end-to-end, working with stakeholders and users to define problems, scope MVPs, build, and iterate on solutions that serve thousands of learners and tutors worldwide.

  • Work 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 product thinking, interview users, propose solutions, and balance technical feasibility with user needs rather than just executing on tickets.

  • Write clean, readable code across the stack (TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Postgres) and improve patterns that make future development easier.

  • Review code, pair with teammates, and participate in on-call rotations (~1 week every 6 weeks) to keep the platform reliable and safe.
