JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for an SDE 2 – Frontend / macOS App Developer who can help us build intuitive, high-performance, and student-friendly product experiences across both web and desktop platforms.

In this role, you won't just build UI — you'll create experiences that make learning simpler, smoother, and more engaging for our students. We are looking for someone who deeply cares about usability, accessibility, and performance, and understands how thoughtful frontend engineering can directly improve a learner's journey.

You will work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to build features that are easy to navigate, visually polished, and optimized for real student use cases.

What You'll Be Doing

Building User-Friendly Learning Experiences
Design and develop intuitive, responsive, and accessible interfaces that make it easy for students to learn, interact, and stay engaged on the platform.

Developing Scalable Frontend Systems
Build reusable and scalable frontend components using modern technologies like React and TypeScript, ensuring consistency and maintainability across the platform.

Owning the macOS Application Experience
Contribute to building and enhancing our macOS application (Electron, Swift, or similar technologies), ensuring a smooth, distraction-free, and seamless learning experience for students.

End-to-End Feature Ownership
Take ownership of features from concept to production — including requirement understanding, development, testing, deployment, and post-release improvements.

Performance & Reliability Optimization
Improve application speed, responsiveness, and reliability to ensure students can access learning content smoothly across devices and network conditions.

Collaboration with Product & Design Teams
Work closely with product managers and designers to translate ideas into polished experiences that align with both business goals and student needs.

Improving Engineering Standards
Write clean, maintainable, and high-quality code while contributing to code reviews, documentation, and engineering best practices.

Continuous Innovation
Stay updated with frontend and desktop development trends, tools, and best practices to continuously improve the product experience.

What We're Looking For

Strong Frontend Fundamentals
2–4 years of experience in frontend development with strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, HTML, and CSS.

macOS/Desktop Application Experience
Hands-on experience building desktop applications using Electron, Swift, or similar technologies.

User-Centric Mindset
A strong understanding of usability and user behavior, with the ability to build simple, intuitive, and student-friendly experiences.

Product Thinking
Ability to think beyond implementation and understand how engineering decisions impact the overall learner journey.

Performance-Oriented Approach
Experience in optimizing frontend applications for speed, responsiveness, and scalability.

Ownership & Collaboration
Ability to work independently, take ownership of projects, and collaborate effectively across teams.
