Brilliant.org | Senior/Staff Software Engineer (Interactives) | Remote (North America), SF, NYC | Full-time | $180k-$250k | https://brilliant.org
Brilliant is building the world's first graphical AI tutor: a collection of interactive learning experiences that both the learner and their AI tutor can see and manipulate. In a world of cognitive offloading, Brilliant's AI gets people to actually think and solve hard problems.
We're hiring an interactive-focused engineer to craft the building blocks that power it. Each interactive exposes an API used by learning designers, our authoring agents, and the tutor itself. And every configuration those APIs can produce has to be a correct, solvable, meaningful puzzle. It's a tricky technical problem with a big payoff for our learners.
Engineers at Brilliant think about both "building the right thing" AND "building the thing right" while pursuing high standards of excellence for ourselves, our product, and our codebase.
If you're energized by the prospect of doing the best work of your career and changing how the world learns, you can learn more and apply here: https://brilliant.org/careers.
