We build market-leading, online college credit and test-preparation solutions that help working adults earn their degrees, advance their careers, and achieve economic mobility. Recognized by Fast Company and GSV 150 as one of the world’s most innovative education companies, we are also at the forefront of AI-first learning, combining artificial intelligence with the latest learning science to improve access and outcomes at scale.\nOur product is our impact. Through our Keys to College and Keys to the Classroom initiatives, we have saved students over $700 million in tuition and enabled hundreds of thousands of learners to pursue and succeed in careers across nursing, teaching, counseling, business, and other high-demand fields. We are deeply focused on measurable outcomes and building products that create meaningful, lasting change in people’s lives.\nYou're early in your career and you already ship real software with AI coding agents. Here that's just how we work. We want you doing it for millions of learners from your first week.\nAbout the Role\nEngineering at Study.com is AI-native. Our engineers direct coding agents every day, inside an agent framework we built ourselves: skills that teach agents our codebase and conventions, guardrails that keep them on the rails, and evaluation that tells us whether the output is good. We define what \"done\" means and hold the bar on quality, security, and architecture; the agents do the typing. The question on our teams is no longer whether to use AI, but how much further it can go.\nYou will join a cross-functional team and grow into the work alongside the engineers around you. You will take features from acceptance criteria to production: understand the problem with product and design, break it into work an agent can execute, drive the agents, test what comes back, and see it ship to real students and teachers. This is a role for learning the craft, with the support to do it well. Architecture, security, and system-wide decisions stay with the team while you build toward them. Engineers who grow here move on to larger scope and their own product areas.\nThis role is based in our Mountain View, CA office and is hybrid in office Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild and ship features with AI coding agents (Claude Code and similar tools) as your primary way of producing software.\nWork across our stack: Java and Spring services, MySQL, and TypeScript/React frontend.\nWrite the tests and acceptance criteria that tell an agent when a feature is done.\nWork with your team to review and ship your code.\nFlag the skills and guardrails that fail you, and help make them better.\nFollow your features after release: watch the metrics, take the feedback, and learn from the trade-offs your team makes.\nYour First 90 Days\nDays 1 to 30: Ship to production in your first week, with help close at hand. By the end of the month you have several features live and you know your way around the product and the codebase.\nDays 30 to 60: Take on larger features. Understand the metric each one is meant to move, ship it, and follow through on what the data says. Land your first improvement to a skill or guardrail the team uses.\n Days 60 to 90: Work on features with more ambiguity in them. Join the technical design discussions for your team's work and start contributing to them. Move faster on the paths you now know well.\nWhat You'll Learn\nIn your first year you will get good at:\nBreaking a product problem into work an agent can execute well, and spotting when it has not.\nReading a diff critically, and taking a review on your own work.\nTesting and observability practice on a system that real students depend on.\nOur stack, end to end, and where its load-bearing parts are.\nWhen to trust what an agent hands you, and when to go read the code yourself.\nWhat You'll Bring to the Role\nEvidence that you build and ship software. Internships, personal projects, open source, and hackathon work all count. Show us the things.\nHands-on experience using AI coding tools to build non-trivial functionality, and opinions about where they excel and where they still need a human.\nWorking proficiency in at least one general-purpose language (Java or TypeScript preferred) and familiarity with how web applications fit together, front end through database.\nSolid fundamentals in data structures and algorithms.\nClear written communication. Much of your work is specifying intent precisely, for people and for agents.\nA BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field, recently completed or expected before your start date.\nNice to Have\nA portfolio or GitHub that shows a pattern of finishing and shipping things, especially things built largely with agents.\nExperience with Java and Spring, React, SQL, or NoSQL databases.\nExperience writing prompts, skills, or evaluations that make LLM-based tools more reliable.\nA habit of finishing what you start, and of asking about the things that look wrong.\nCompensation\nThe hourly pay range for this position is $43.00 - $59.00 per hour. This range reflects the full pay progression for this level.
