As an engineer at Skillshare, you’ll have a direct impact on how teachers share their expertise, how students find and watch content that excites them, and how we're presenting our platform to the world. The team’s work draws from a deep understanding of our users’ needs, working with product and data experts to build a robust and delightful experience for our students and teachers. You will collaborate with your fellow engineers, product managers, engineering managers, designers, and analysts to plan out and implement new initiatives.
You’ll be joining a fast-paced team that is passionate about technology, building products we’re proud of, and upholding a strong, collaborative team culture.

What you'll do:

  • Build product! You’ll contribute to features that help our global users easily join and engage with the platform.
  • Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives with the team (we work in agile here).
  • Review code with best practices of readability, testing patterns, documentation, and performance considerations in mind
  • Mentor your teammates and help them grow and develop their skills.
  • Work closely with other engineers, along with our product, design, and data teams.
  • You'll work in a cross-functional group, collaborating with our marketing, data science, product, and executive teams.

Why we're excited about you:

  • You have 4+ years of experience as an engineer with a proven history of working across the stack and building products at scale.
  • You’re ready to work with an existing code base (proficiency in PHP, node.js, and react or backbone is expected), but you can pick up new languages as needed.
  • You’re comfortable working in an event-driven way in a microservice architecture
  • You’ve helped build out scalable APIs. You are comfortable with REST and GraphQL (federated schemas are a plus)
  • You understand industry standards in architecture, code quality, testing and technical documentation.
  • You're a natural collaborator – you work seamlessly within and between teams.
  • You're motivated by full ownership of your work and you’re passionate about the user, and eager to help our organization grow to meet their needs.
  • You have strong skills in performance optimization
  • You have experience using a/b testing and analysis to drive measurable improvement in relevancy and user behavior.

Why you're excited about us:

  • Our team: We have a passionate, creative, and innovative team that is a lot of fun to work with.
  • Our mission: We’re doing work that matters – connecting lifelong learners around the world and empowering them to pursue their creativity.
  • Remote culture: A healthy, productive working environment means different things for different people. We optimize for trust and invest in supporting remote teams, offer home office stipends for those that work best in their own space and co-working spaces for those that thrive in a social office environment, and focus on transparent communication to ensure an inclusive, equitable work environment for everyone.
  • Flexibility: We believe that doing your best work means living a full life. That means different things for everyone, so we optimize for trust, invest to support remote teams, offer home office stipends and co-working spaces in multiple cities, have an unlimited vacation policy (with a required minimum!), and encourage work-life balance.
  • Impact: You’ll play a key role in shaping the direction of our infrastructure and developer processes long-term
  • Your growth: You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with others and take on more ownership over time.
  • Benefits: We believe that doing your best work means living a full life. We support our team with unlimited PTO, gender-neutral parental leave, anniversary sabbaticals, and healthy stipends for creativity, learning, and personal wellness.
