Description
About Quizlet:

Inspired by our belief that anyone can learn anything and powered by our own curiosity, we build the smartest tools we can imagine to help students learn.  

Quizlet is the popular, global learning platform and app that millions of students, teachers and everyday people use to study any subject imaginable for school, work or as part of their personal interests -- including two-thirds of high school students and half of all college students in the US. Combining cognitive science and machine learning, Quizlet guides students through adaptive study activities to confidently reach their learning goals. We’re on track to become the undisputed leader in user-generated learning content and engagement, at the scale of YouTube.  

Valued at $1 billion, Quizlet has raised over $60 million in venture capital from investors including Icon Ventures, Union Square Ventures, General Atlantic, Costanoa Ventures, Owl Ventures, and Altos Ventures.  

To serve our global community of learners, our teams tackle lofty technical challenges and design for use cases across cultures and languages. We work hard, act like owners, and collaborate every chance we get. We’re energized by the potential to power more learners through multiple approaches and various tools.


About the Team:

The Practice Tests team at Quizlet leverages machine learning and AI technologies to transform exam preparation into an engaging and effective experience. With a commitment to making learning both enjoyable and impactful, our goal is to evolve Quizlet from a US-centric platform with 50 million active users into a global educational powerhouse that meets the needs of the world’s 1.4 billion students.

About the Role:

We're looking for a Fullstack Engineer to help us improve our learning experiences. This will include making constant improvements to our current platform, which is built upon modern tools like React, NextJS, Go, Hack, and Spanner. 

This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco office hub.

In this role, you will:

  • Develop user-facing features using React/Redux to enhance user interaction
  • Write efficient server-side code using Python/Go/Hack to support robust services

  • Build automation tools and reusable UI components to speed up development
  • Architect advanced front-end data and state management systems
  • Work with product designers to refine designs and improve product functionality
  • Identify and implement performance improvements to enhance website speed
  • Participate in reviews of design, code, and architecture to ensure quality
  • Analyze user testing to understand and enhance usability
  • Research and advocate for new technologies that can benefit our projects

    • Example Projects:
  • Conduct A/B testing to refine and optimize user experiences based on data insights
  • Collaborate with data science and machine learning teams to develop advanced features for premium users
  • Design and implement RESTful APIs for effective communication between software components
  • Optimize application performance through code refinement and system architecture improvements
  • Leading the development of user interfaces and user experiences for applications to enhance usability, accessibility, and user engagement

What you bring to the table:

  • 3+ years of experience building rich, interactive web applications
  • Knowledge of service-oriented architecture and microservices
  • Experience working on large-scale consumer websites, with attention to scalability and performance concerns
  • Experience working with modern front-end JavaScript libraries and tooling — for example, we use NextJS, React, Redux, Flow, webpack, and Prettier
  • Experience working with server-side code - we use Hack, Node.js, Go, Python, and relational databases
  • Experience leading projects from inception to completion
  • Excitement about the impact your work could have on the lives of students and teachers every day
  • Ability to mentor junior engineers
  • Excellent organizational and leadership skills
  • An aptitude for experimentation demonstrated by being hypothesis-driven, metrics-focused, and eager to test and iterate

  • Quizlet is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Salary transparency helps to mitigate unfair hiring practices when it comes to discrimination and pay gaps.  Total compensation for this role is market competitive, including a starting base salary of $132,000 - $155,000, depending on location and experience, as well as company stock options
  • Collaborate with your manager and team to create a healthy work-life balance
  • 20 vacation days (and we expect you to take them!)
  • Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance (100% employee and 75% dependent PPO, HMO, VSP Choice)
  • Employer-sponsored 401k plan with company match
  • Access to LinkedIn Learning and other resources to support professional growth
  • Paid Family Leave, FSA, HSA, Commuter benefits, Wellness benefits

We provide a transparent setting, that gives a comprehensive view of who we are!  


In Closing:

We hope you are excited about everything you read so far. We highly encourage you to apply for this position, even if you feel you do not meet all the requirements. Quizlet is always looking for amazing folks that believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in various ways - not merely candidates that fit a certain mold.

We have a bias for action, take initiative, and take pride in delivering results. We make informed decisions whenever possible but are unafraid to take calculated risks on great ideas to promote learning. We embrace challenges and see effort as the path to mastery. We’re constantly seeking opportunities to learn and we embrace curiosity. Quality matters at Quizlet, and we hold the bar high on everything we do.
 
We treat each other with honesty and respect, encourage vigorous debate, and seek critical feedback. We value diversity, humility, transparency, and collaboration as the best paths to our success — as individuals, as a team, and as a company.

Quizlet’s success as an online learning community depends on a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are actively working to build a team that is representative of the diverse communities we serve, and an open, inclusive work environment where all employees can thrive. As an equal opportunity employer and a tech company committed to societal change, we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. Come join us!
