Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience building rich, interactive web applications
- Knowledge of service-oriented architecture and microservices
- Experience working on large-scale consumer websites, with attention to scalability and performance concerns
- Experience working with modern front-end JavaScript libraries and tooling — for example, we use NextJS, React, Redux, Flow, webpack, and Prettier
- Experience working with server-side code - we use Hack, Node.js, Go, Python, and relational databases
- Experience leading projects from inception to completion
- Excitement about the impact your work could have on the lives of students and teachers every day
- Ability to mentor junior engineers

- An aptitude for experimentation demonstrated by being hypothesis-driven, metrics-focused, and eager to test and iterate
What the job involves
- The Practice Tests team at Quizlet leverages machine learning and AI technologies to transform exam preparation into an engaging and effective experience
- With a commitment to making learning both enjoyable and impactful, our goal is to evolve Quizlet from a US-centric platform with 50 million active users into a global educational powerhouse that meets the needs of the world’s 1.4 billion students
- We're looking for a Fullstack Engineer to help us improve our learning experiences
- This will include making constant improvements to our current platform, which is built upon modern tools like React, NextJS, Go, Hack, and Spanner
- Develop user-facing features using React/Redux to enhance user interaction
- Write efficient server-side code using Python/Go/Hack to support robust services
- Collaborate with engineers to design and implement scalable APIs
- Build automation tools and reusable UI components to speed up development
- Architect advanced front-end data and state management systems
- Work with product designers to refine designs and improve product functionality
- Identify and implement performance improvements to enhance website speed
- Participate in reviews of design, code, and architecture to ensure quality
- Analyze user testing to understand and enhance usability
- Research and advocate for new technologies that can benefit our projects
- Conduct A/B testing to refine and optimize user experiences based on data insights
- Collaborate with data science and machine learning teams to develop advanced features for premium users
- Design and implement RESTful APIs for effective communication between software components
- Optimize application performance through code refinement and system architecture improvements
- Leading the development of user interfaces and user experiences for applications to enhance usability, accessibility, and user engagement
Our take
Quizlet has built a large-scale business around simple-to-share and simple-to-use products. Its free flashcard maker helps students prepare for exams. Those insights fuel Quizlet Plus, the startup’s subscription product that charges an annual fee for access to more features, including tutoring services.
After a long period of runaway growth, during which the company achieved a $1 billion valuation, Quizlet has been somewhat buffered by the general market downturn affecting the tech sector in 2022, which hit EdTech particularly heavily. It has responded by a shakeup of its leadership team, appointing AirBnB and Starship Technologies veteran Lex Bayer.
With an entrepreneurial management team and a strong user base of over 60 million students and teachers, Quizlet seems likely to weather the current economic situation and resume its growth in the near future.
