LATAM Remote (Country)

Nerdy is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (AI-Native) (Full-time Contractor)

About the Role

Shape the future of digital learning as a Senior Software Engineer building AI-native applications from the ground up. We're looking for a technically skilled engineer based in LATAM who thrives in a remote, high-velocity environment and is passionate about creating impactful educational technology.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement robust, scalable web applications using JavaScript and TypeScript.
  • Write clean, well-documented, and test-covered code that performs efficiently under real-world loads.
  • Take full ownership of your work—from development through deployment and operations—as part of a shared on-call rotation.
  • Integrate generative AI and real-time features to enhance live learning experiences.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product, and design to deliver intuitive, high-quality solutions.
  • Continuously refine code and systems through iterative improvements and peer feedback.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, and an object-oriented language such as Java, C++, or C#.
  • Solid grasp of algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented design principles.
  • Track record of building and maintaining high-traffic websites.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-powered development tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or similar.
  • Understanding of SEO best practices and performance optimization.
  • Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
  • A mindset oriented toward continuous learning and technical excellence.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with backend technologies and deployment pipelines such as GitHub Actions or AWS CodeDeploy.
  • Familiarity with AWS services including Lambda, EC2, and RDS.
  • Comfort working in Linux environments using command-line tools.
  • A degree in Computer Science or a related field.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Competitive pay in U.S. dollars, reflecting your expertise.
  • True remote flexibility—work from anywhere within your home country.
  • Flexible time off and paid local holidays to support work-life balance.
  • AI-powered productivity with access to cutting-edge tools that amplify your impact.
  • Learning for life—enjoy a full learning membership for you and your household.
  • Be part of a culture that values ownership, technical rigor, and collaborative growth.

Our Environment

We operate with entrepreneurial speed and technical discipline. Our team values clear ownership, open feedback, and relentless curiosity. As an apolitical organization, we focus entirely on advancing access to learning—uniting around education, not ideology. If you're driven by meaningful impact and technical challenge, this is where you belong.
