Full-Stack Builder • Product-Minded Engineer • Customer-Obsessed Problem Solver
Overview:
We’re looking for an AI Product Engineer who blends the instincts of a product thinker with the execution chops of a strong engineer. This role is perfect for builders who thrive at the intersection of discovery, design, rapid prototyping, and shipping real customer-facing features.
You’ll own problems end-to-end — from understanding the customer need to designing an elegant solution to shipping polished, reliable, AI-powered experiences. You won’t be confined to “product” or “engineering” boxes. You’ll do both. And you'll move fast.
About Nerdy:
At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) - the company behind Varsity Tutors - we’re redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI™ platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale.
We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you’d bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.
Fortune favors the bold. Join us.
How we compete:
- AI-Native at every level
From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done. - Entrepreneurial velocity
Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die. - Free-market rigor
Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside. - Full-stack ownership
You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug. - Reward for contribution
Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and how you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded. - Relentless exploration
Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way. - Is Apolitical
You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
If you’re a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.

Senior Software Engineer (AI-Native) (Hyderabad)
Share this job
Overview
We are looking for Senior Software Engineers based in Hyderabad to join the engineering team to help with our ongoing growth and expansion! Your focus would be on building products using Javascript and Typescript and a core Object-Oriented Programming language like Java/C++/C#. We have a complete CI/CD software lifecycle and an evolving services-oriented architecture hosted in AWS. We require Senior Software Engineers with a strong focus on AI-Native development. Proficiency in utilizing various Agentic coding tools to significantly amplify impact and accelerate implementations is essential for this role.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help shape how students, educators, and institutions interact with our technology. Whether it’s building a seamless class discovery flow, improving accessibility and performance, or integrating AI into real-time classroom experiences, your work will directly impact how people learn every day. You’ll collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering to create fast, elegant, and responsive interfaces that bring our innovations to life.
About Nerdy:
At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) - the company behind Varsity Tutors - we’re redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI™ platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale. We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you’d bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.
Fortune favors the bold. Join us.
How we compete:
-
AI-Native at every level
From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done. -
Entrepreneurial velocity
Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die. -
Free-market rigor
Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside. -
Full-stack ownership
You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug. -
Reward for contribution
Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and howyou achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded. -
Relentless exploration
Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way. -
Is Apolitical
You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
If you’re a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.

Senior Software Engineer (AI-Native) (Full-time Contractor)
Share this job
Overview:
We are looking for Senior Software Engineers in LATAM to join the engineering team to help with our ongoing growth and expansion! Your focus would be on building products using Javascript and Typescript and a core Object-Oriented Programming language like Java/C++/C#. We have a complete CI/CD software lifecycle and an evolving services-oriented architecture hosted in AWS. We require Senior Software Engineers with a strong focus on AI-Native development. Proficiency in utilizing various Agentic coding tools to significantly amplify impact and accelerate implementations is essential for this role.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help shape how students, educators, and institutions interact with our technology. Whether it’s building a seamless class discovery flow, improving accessibility and performance, or integrating AI into real-time classroom experiences, your work will directly impact how people learn every day. You’ll collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering to create fast, elegant, and responsive interfaces that bring our innovations to life.
About Nerdy:
At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) - the company behind Varsity Tutors - we’re redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI™ platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale. We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you’d bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.
Fortune favors the bold. Join us.
How we compete:
-
AI-Native at every level
From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done. -
Entrepreneurial velocity
Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die. -
Free-market rigor
Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside. -
Full-stack ownership
You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug. -
Reward for contribution
Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and how you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded. -
Relentless exploration
Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way. -
Is Apolitical
You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
If you’re a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.

We have a complete CI/CD software lifecycle and an evolving services-oriented architecture hosted in AWS. We require Senior Software Engineers with a strong focus on AI-Native development. Proficiency in utilizing various Agentic coding tools to significantly amplify impact and accelerate implementations is essential for this role.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help shape how students, educators, and institutions interact with our technology. Whether it’s building a seamless class discovery flow, improving accessibility and performance, or integrating AI into real-time classroom experiences, your work will directly impact how people learn every day. You’ll collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering to create fast, elegant, and responsive interfaces that bring our innovations to life.
About Nerdy:
At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) - the company behind Varsity Tutors - we’re redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI™ platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale. We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you’d bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.
Fortune favors the bold. Join us.
How we compete:
-
AI-Native at every level
From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done. -
Entrepreneurial velocity
Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die. -
Free-market rigor
Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside. -
Full-stack ownership
You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug. -
Reward for contribution
Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and how you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded. -
Relentless exploration
Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way. -
Is Apolitical
You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes. - If you’re a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.
