What is the role?
We're looking to bring on a Sr. Software Engineer for our Student Engagement pod, responsible for creating deeper engagement between students and creators. In this role, you'll be able to have a direct impact on the learning journey of our students by building products and features that foster deeper community and learning.
What You'll Do:

  • Write secure, efficient, and high-quality code that adheres to best practices.
  • Develop scalable and reusable code that promotes efficient development, such as creating reusable libraries and components.
  • Identify areas for improvement in the codebase and take ownership of small-to-medium-sized systems.
  • Read and write meaningful documentation.
  • Utilize testing techniques such as unit testing, integration testing, and stress testing to ensure high-quality code.
  • Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders, such as providing regular status updates and actively seeking feedback.
  • Adapt to roadblocks and proactively resolve issues.
  • Align work with customer value by using feedback and analytics to understand feature impact.
  • Balance priorities and seek guidance when needed to make informed decisions.


About You:

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience building production web applications in an agile, startup environment.
  • Strong proficiency in Ruby/Rails or Python. Bonus points for Golang experience.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes.
  • Comfort with performance optimization, analytics, and observability.
  • Team player mentality: highly collaborative, documentation-focused, and able to recognize how to balance asynchronous communications and virtual meetings.
  • A passion for solving complex technical problems in both new and legacy codebases.
  • A mindset of leaving the codebase better than how you found it.
  • Experience collaborating with multiple team members with varying experience levels to design and implement technical projects.
  • Ability to work and problem-solve independently.
  • A humble, collaborative, customer-focused, and highly curious approach to problem-solving.


Additional Details:
At Teachable, we are committed to providing fair and competitive pay (using market data to inform our pay bands), rewarding high performance, and ensuring all employees have the opportunity and ability to impact Teachable's overall company value. Base salaries will be reviewed at regular intervals throughout the year, typically following performance review cycles currently conducted bi-annually or in conjunction with a promotion.

  • This role is open to remote candidates in the U.S.

An Insider's view of Teachable

What are some social events your company does?

Teachable has company-wide events that are creator based throughout the year! Once I attended an event where we were able to receive a natal birth chart reading. As an astrology enthusiast, this was very memorable for me because I got to understand more about my inner self/personality and even suggested the creator's business to one of my friends!

How does the company support your career growth?

I've had great support from my managers, who have talked with me about my areas of interest, helped me identify strengths and weaknesses, and have suggested resources for professional development. And it's exciting to see that as the company has grown over the years that I've been here, new roles, positions, and pathways continue to be created.
