Senior Software Engineer (Remote)
UPchieve
Job Description
About the role Join our product and engineering team to help us provide free tutoring to 8 million low-income high school students in the U.S by 2030.
As a product engineer at UPchieve, you'll be instrumental in whether we accomplish our vision of scaling free, 24/7 online tutoring and college counseling or not. Expect to spend your 40 hours/week on some combination of: driving software development projects, supporting and mentoring the other 2 devs, thinking up and testing ideas with the design and product leads, and working with the broader UPchieve team on product and technical strategy that will get us to the finish line of democratizing access to academic support.
Given our early stage, you’ll influence everything from technical strategy to team culture across the organization. Come put your name on every corner of the world's best tutoring platform for low-income students!

You’re knowledgeable and open-minded. You relish debating trade-offs on both user experience and technical architecture.
You have high quality standards and take pride in shipping reliable code that's easy to change
What you’ll do

Own and drive projects from the first idea to the last student's lightbulb moment
