Company mission
To give every student the tools and confidence to succeed, no matter their motivation or what they’re striving to achieve.
Role
Who you are
- Multiple years of experience in mobile software development
- Strong problem solving and debugging skills in cross-platform and backend software products
- Proficient in modern programming languages and some level of comfort with multiple development platforms
- Eagerness to learn, grow, and take on new challenges
- Track record of solving problems across multiple platforms
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills across a range of audiences
Desirable
- Experience providing technical leadership across multiple teams working on diverse objectives
- Experience in backend and frontend development with an understanding of what it takes to build generic, cross-platform libraries
What the job involves
- Quizlet is right in the middle of transforming our tech stack from thick, “smart” clients to a world of thin, server-driven clients that are powered by our AI systems
- To achieve consistent patterns and move quickly, we are building a Client Platform team focused on solving tech problems shared across our Mobile and Web clients (and potentially others in the future)
- Some things that might fall into your remit include the following:
- Uplevel our client analytics logging and feature flagging systems, standardizing (and building the systems to support) deep linking to experiences and content across our platforms and services, and building mechanisms and tooling that will allow us to test our experiences end-to-end and across platforms and marketplaces
- As a new team without a firmly defined charter, you will have a big say in what the day-to-day of this position looks like
- That said, this role will be expected to partner closely with leads across our Mobile, Web, Backend, and Platform teams as well as Product and Engineering leadership
- You'll design, build, and maintain scalable systems that solve key web and mobile client bottlenecks and constraints
- Partner effectively with dependent and partner engineering teams, influencing their decisions and designs as appropriate
- Drive incident investigations, post mortems, and retrospectives
- Effectively advocate for long-term improvements to systems and processes
- Implement monitoring and alerting solutions to ensure operational excellence and resiliency
- Stay ahead of industry trends and incorporate new solutions to improve efficiency and reduce costs (both monetary and development/maintenance costs)
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Quizlet has evolved from a simple flashcard tool into one of the most recognizable consumer learning platforms, now serving over 60M active users. It reaches two-third of US high schoolers and half of college students, putting it among the top 20 US websites and leading education apps on mobile.
Its core strength lies in helping students learn quickly and effectively through tools like flashcards, practice tests, AI-generated study guides, and now course-specific collaborative folders. By focusing on efficiency and relevance, Quizlet has become a go-to resource for students who want targeted, outcome-driven study support. And its collaborative features also allow large groups of students to share and refine materials together, so learning really is a shared experience.
Recent expansions - including Course-Powered Quizlet and its deepened partnership with Brand Metrics - show the platform's continued momentum. With AI-driven personalization, independent ad measurement, and growing peer-recommended content, Quizlet is strengthening trust with advertisers while meeting modern student expectations. And these advancements sure position Quizlet as a leading, forward-thinking plater in ed-tech.
