We're a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries. Our intelligent platform replaces traditional textbooks and combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data to help students and teachers thrive - from international schools to US high schools.
We're now looking for Software Engineers who bring both technical excellence and a strong product mindset. You'll write high-quality code and help shape solutions that truly move the product and company forward.
Why Kognity is the place to be:
Educational Innovation - Build AI-driven solutions that actually make learning better.
Global Reach - Our platform supports educators and learners in over 120 countries.
Driven Culture - Work with brilliant, hard-working people who care deeply about what they do.
Real Growth - In every role at Kognity, you will be expected to grow.
What you'll do:
Build full-stack features with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, always aiming for impact and scalability.
Apply design patterns, ORMs, APIs, caching, and testing thoughtfully to craft robust, future-proof solutions.
Refactor and improve existing codebases with a focus on clarity, simplicity, and long-term maintainability.
Own small to medium projects end-to-end, delivering fast without compromising on quality.
Work closely with cross-functional teams, communicating technical decisions with clarity and confidence.
What we're looking for:
Proven experience building impactful software in a fast-moving product environment, where outcomes matter as much as code quality.
Full-stack capability with JavaScript and at least one server-side language (Python, Ruby, or Node.js), applied to solving real customer problems.
A track record of owning projects end-to-end, shaping solutions from idea to delivery with measurable impact.
Deep care for writing clear, maintainable, and well-structured code that scales with the product.
An exceptional problem-solver who thrives on complexity, balances trade-offs smartly, and consistently raises the bar.
Insatiably curious about AI and emerging tools, using them to push boundaries in creativity, decision-making, and execution.
