Senior Software Engineer - Front End

Course Hero is scaling! We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to drive key projects, mentor team members, deal with constantly evolving business needs, and help continuously improve our software systems. You’ll thrive in an engaging, high-growth environment, with a collaborative, learning-focused culture. Our engineers have complete autonomy and independence to innovate.

You’ll be responsible for the effort to build out many of our front-end applications. And you’ll build out a React UI component framework that can be validated by our entire engineering organization.

The Educator and Student Experience team is responsible for the entire user experience after account creation (search and discovery, Q&A, study tools, document management, and more). Along with being responsible for the effort to build out a vast majority of our front-end applications, this role would also include building out a React UI component framework that can be used by the entire engineering organization.
