Senior Producer (Programming & Computer Science)

About Brilliant

Brilliant is making a world of great problem solvers. We focus on adults learning quantitative skills – especially in math data and CS/AI – and deliver a best-in-class interactive learning experience across web and apps. Our courses teach you what you need to know while skipping the stuff you don’t – so expect more about solving equations statistical analysis logical deduction neural networks and generative AI and less about abstract theorems and integrating complicated trig functions.

We serve hundreds of thousands of paid subscribers and we’re hoping you might be the right person to contribute to accelerating our footprint to millions of customers (and changed lives). In addition to what’s below you can see all open roles and learn more about our team culture on our careers page .

We have always prioritized building a healthy business as the backbone of achieving our mission. We are default alive (will be profitable before needing to raise) have never had layoffs are growing new customers at an exciting pace (high double-digits year-over-year). Our investors are top-tier + mission aligned and we’ve kept our valuations tethered to reality – we aren’t playing “catch up” like many others.

In our day-to-day we value adventure excellence generosity and candor. We are optimists in the face of uncertainty we take pride in our work we go the extra mile for each other and we tell it like it is (the good and the bad). We’re all here to do the best work of our lives together and have a lot of fun along the way.

We believe that real-time collaboration and human connection are necessary ingredients in building a high-velocity creatively-oriented consumer product. We maintain core hours (10am - 3pm Pacific) where everyone is online regardless of timezone. Over half of us are located near our hubs in SF and NYC and folks outside of those cities travel to attend team offsites once-per-quarter.
