Overview:

We are looking for Senior Front-End Engineers to join the engineering team to help with our ongoing growth and expansion! Your focus would be on building frontend experiences in React. Familiarity with backend services & technologies is a plus. We have a complete CI/CD software lifecycle and an evolving services-oriented-architecture hosted in AWS. As a Senior Front-End Engineer, you’ll help shape how students, educators, and institutions interact with our technology. Whether it’s building a seamless class discovery flow, improving accessibility and performance, or integrating AI into real-time classroom experiences, your work will directly impact how people learn every day.

About Nerdy:

At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) -  the company behind Varsity Tutors - we’re redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI™ platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale. We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you’d bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.

Fortune favors the bold. Join us.

How we compete:

  • AI-Native at every level
    From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done.

  • Entrepreneurial velocity
    Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die.

  • Free-market rigor
    Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.

  • Full-stack ownership
    You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.

  • Reward for contribution
    Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and how you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.

  • Relentless exploration
    Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.

  • Is Apolitical
    You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.

If you’re a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.
