Company mission
To support young people throughout the world with the best learning content – on a unique platform.
Role
Who you are
- 2–3 years of hands-on engineering experience in web development – enough to ship production-ready code independently from day one
- Comfortable across the stack (HAML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby)
- Strong eye for code review and QA → you spot what's off, whether it's your code or AI's
- You actively use AI in your daily work and have real opinions: where it helps, where it fails, and how to review output before it ships
- Pragmatic – excited by focused, high-impact work on a clean stack, not by the newest framework or the most complex architectural puzzle
- Very good written and spoken English
What the job involves
- Sofatutor is a digital learning platform for nearly 2 million early learners, students, parents, and teachers. As a (Junior) Full-Stack Engineer (gn) in Team Growth, you ship features on the visitor-facing pages where new users first meet us. You build; our Growth Specialists deliver the testing ideas and hypotheses
- Build and release features on visitor-facing pages and conversion funnels
- Implement A/B tests cleanly and reliably, based on hypotheses handed over by our Growth Specialists
- Use AI tools daily – prompt, steer, validate – and review AI-generated code with the same care as your own
- Write and maintain unit and integration tests (Capybara, Cypress). Testing matters more, not less, when code is co-produced with AI
- Own critical systems in the visitor journey: maintenance, reliability, and incident response
Our take
All students flourish when they can learn at their own pace, but this can be difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom. This is what sofatutor is setting out to address with its online tuition platform.
The company offers students at school and university one-on-one online learning support in 15 subjects, ranging from Mathematics to Latin. The main draw for students is the platform's flexibility and its unique 12 minute lesson format. Compared to traditional private tuition, sofatutor is faster, more convenient and cheaper.
In the fiercely competitive online tuition space, sofatutor finds an edge over rivals such as Tutorfair and MyTutor with its innovative learning materials, interface and class formats. Its strong product has certainly cemented sofatutor in the space, as it looks to further grow its team and operations into the future.
