Senior Software Engineer

About the role

This hybrid-role requires in-person work at least one day a week in Columbia, SC. Flatiron School is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to partner closely with our VP of Product in designing, prototyping, and shipping a new generation of AI-driven adaptive learning tools. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for an engineer excited to rapidly explore product ideas, implement scalable infrastructure, and help shape both the direction and technical execution of our venture studio's early products.

You’ll be working in a fast-moving environment where speed, iteration, and clarity of purpose are critical. You’ll help us launch small, targeted products that improve learning outcomes and lay the technical foundation for scale.

What you'll do

Rapid Prototyping & Product Development

• Lead full-stack development of adaptive learning products (primarily React, TypeScript, Python, and SQL).
• Build lightweight, maintainable infrastructure using modern tools like Supabase and Vercel.
• Quickly turn product ideas into working prototypes that can be tested with real users.
• Integrate third-party and open-source AI / ML frameworks (OpenAI, HuggingFace, LangChain, etc.) into functional experiences.
• Collaborate directly with the VP of Product to define scope, prioritize features, and iterate based on feedback.
