The full posting

Brilliant.org | Senior/Staff Software Engineer (Interactives) | Remote (North America), SF, NYC | Full-time | $180k-$250k | https://brilliant.org In a world of cognitive offloading, Brilliant's AI tutor gets kids to actually think. The graphical canvas is interactable by both the learner and their tutor, leading to pedagogically-rich interactions.

We're hiring an interactive-focused engineer to craft the building blocks that power this experience. Each interactive exposes an API used by learning designers, our authoring agents, and the tutor itself. And every configuration those APIs can produce has to be a correct, solvable, meaningful puzzle.

It's a tricky technical problem with a big payoff for our learners. Engineers at Brilliant think about both "building the right thing" AND "building the thing right" while pursuing high standards of excellence for ourselves, our product, and our codebase. If you'd like to do the best work of your career while changing how the world learns, apply here: https://brilliant.org/careers .
