LATAM Remote (Country)

Nerdy is hiring a Staff Engineer (AI-Native) (Full time contractor)

About the Role

Shape the future of an AI-native learning platform as a Staff Engineer based in LATAM. In this fully remote role, you'll lead technical decision-making across front-end and back-end domains, ensuring robust architecture, high performance, and seamless user experiences. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, product, and design to deliver secure, scalable solutions that empower learners worldwide.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead architectural planning and system design, making key choices around frameworks, state management, and component structure.
  • Act as a technical mentor and reference point for engineering teams, promoting best practices in code quality, accessibility, and scalability.
  • Drive code excellence through hands-on reviews, pair programming, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Collaborate with product and design to translate business needs into reliable, customer-centric features.
  • Solve complex distributed systems challenges and optimize for reliability and growth.
  • Integrate AI-native tools into development workflows to accelerate delivery and enhance engineering impact.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, innovation, and technical rigor across squads.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 10 years of experience building and maintaining large-scale, customer-facing applications.
  • Proven expertise across JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, and Golang in both frontend and backend environments.
  • Deep familiarity with AWS cloud infrastructure and modern software design patterns.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-enhanced development tools such as Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Code, n8n, Make.com, Supabase, Vercel, Netlify, Firecrawl, and others.
  • Track record of mentoring senior engineers and improving team-wide technical outcomes.
  • Strong communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical audiences.
  • A self-driven mindset with a willingness to code, debug, and lead by example.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Earn a competitive rate paid in U.S. dollars with no need to relocate—work from anywhere in your home country.
  • Enjoy flexible time off and paid local holidays, respecting your personal and cultural rhythms.
  • Access a full learning ecosystem including tutoring, on-demand courses, and AI-powered development tools.
  • Be part of a feedback-rich, collaborative environment where contribution drives recognition.
  • Make a tangible difference by powering a platform used by learners across the globe.

Our Engineering Culture

We operate with entrepreneurial speed, technical ownership, and a commitment to continuous exploration. Our systems are AI-native by design, and we reward meaningful contributions over hierarchy. We value clarity, accountability, and apolitical collaboration focused solely on advancing our mission.
