Job Description

Senior/Staff Software Engineer – Interactives

Brilliant.org

• craft new interactive building blocks that captivate learners and make foundational concepts addictive to master. • build clear and expressive APIs designed for experts and AIs. • own the technical implementation of learning experiences from idea to launch on a cross-functional team that trusts you to do what's right for our users. • write simple, robust, readable code that teammates and future engineers can easily maintain and extend. • contribute to a culture of excellence within your pod, setting high standards for candor and mutual accountability. • frequently ask: *How does this impact our learners?*

Job Requirements

  • at least 7 years of professional experience in web-focused software engineering, ideally with meaningful experience in one or more of game development, animation, or interactive media.
  • motivated by building robust, maintainable, AI-interoperable software systems that drive user and business outcomes.
  • believe in using the right tool for the job — even when it’s an unfamiliar one, and especially when it's a boring one.
  • enjoy solving technical challenges in a way simple enough for an intern to understand and build upon.
  • have a favorite product and can articulate your perspective on what makes using it delightful.
  • constantly tinkering with AI tools and workflows and have used them to achieve surprising levels of productivity.
  • lack of experience in a specific technology is never disqualifying, but experience with Elm or other functional programming languages would allow you to hit the ground running.

Benefits

  • top-notch health care plans with 100% of the premiums covered for medical, dental, and vision for employees.
  • flexible PTO with a norm of taking off about 6 weeks per year (including federal holidays).
  • home office equipment.
  • professional development stipend.
  • free food at our offices.
