Course Hero is scaling! We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to drive key projects, mentor team members, deal with constantly evolving business needs, and help continuously improve our software systems. You'll thrive in an engaging, high-growth environment, with a collaborative, learning-focused culture. Our engineers have complete autonomy and independence to innovate.

You'll be responsible for the effort to build out many of our front-end applications. And you'll build out a React UI component framework that can be validated by our entire engineering organization.

Along with being responsible for the effort to build out a vast majority of our front-end applications, this role would also include building out a React UI component framework that can be used by the entire engineering organization.
