At RV Education (EDU), we believe in the power of online learning to create opportunities and transform lives. In partnership with over 300 colleges and universities, we help individuals make smart educational decisions that meet their needs and career aspirations. Our trusted brands like BestColleges serve over 90 million unique annual visitors with educational resources and advice.

At Red Ventures, we believe in building transformative digital experiences that help people make life’s most important decisions. As a Senior Software Engineer in our EDU division, you’ll be a key contributor to the full product development lifecycle — designing, building, and maintaining user-facing features, backend services, and the tooling that connects them.

You’ll work across the stack, with an emphasis on delivering intuitive, performant user experiences that are grounded in clean, maintainable architecture. This role is ideal for a builder who thrives on shipping impactful features, pairing with product and design, and continually leveling up their technical skills.

RV EDU is proudly headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is dedicated to cultivating local talent and driving economic development on the island. While many of our roles are located in Puerto Rico, some are also located at RV’s main campus south of Charlotte, NC, or are remote-based.

As a requirement for this role, the selected candidate must be based in Puerto Rico. We are seeking individuals who are currently residing on the island or are willing to relocate to Puerto Rico. This location-based requirement is essential to foster our commitment to local talent and contribute to the economic growth of Puerto Rico. This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based out of our San Juan, Puerto Rico office with in-office Monday–Thursday and fully remote work on Fridays.
