Job description

About Quizlet :

At Quizlet, our mission is to help every learner achieve their outcomes in the most effective and delightful way. Our $1B+ learning platform serves tens of millions of students every month, including two-thirds of U.S. high schoolers and half of U.S. college students, powering over 2 billion learning interactions monthly.

We blend cognitive science with machine learning to personalize and enhance the learning experience for students, professionals, and lifelong learners alike. We’re energized by the potential to power more learners through multiple approaches and various tools.

Let’s Build the Future of Learning

Join us to design and deliver AI‑powered learning tools that scale across the world and unlock human potential.

About the Role :

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Developer Experience team and build the tools, systems, and workflows that make our engineering organization more productive. You'll focus on release engineering, CI / CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, AI tooling, and metrics‑driven improvements that help developers ship faster and more reliably.

We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position in our San Francisco office. To foster team collaboration, we require that employees be in the office a minimum of three days per week : Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and as needed by your manager or the company.

In this role, you will :

  • Develop internal tools and platforms that reduce friction in the development workflow—from local development to production deployment
  • Design and build CI / CD pipelines and release automation systems that enable safe, fast deployments across our engineering organization
  • Create and maintain testing infrastructure, including frameworks, tooling, and environments that improve test coverage and developer confidence
  • Establish metrics and observability for developer experience, measuring build times, deployment frequency, test reliability, and other key indicators
  • Partner with product engineering teams to understand pain points and design solutions that scale across the organization
  • Lead technical initiatives to improve code quality, test automation, and release processes
  • Mentor engineers on testing best practices, CI / CD patterns, and developer productivity techniques

What you bring to the table :

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time spent on developer tooling, CI / CD, testing infrastructure, or release engineering
  • Previous experience as a product engineer building features and shipping code to production
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, Go, TypeScript, or PHP
  • Deep experience with CI / CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI) and automated testing frameworks
  • Hands‑on experience with release engineering, deployment strategies (blue / green, canary, feature flags), and rollback procedures
  • Comfortable with data analysis and metrics—you know how to measure developer productivity and use data to drive improvements
  • Familiarity with infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform) and configuration management tools
  • Strong systems thinking with the ability to identify bottlenecks and design scalable solutions
  • Excellent communication skills; able to understand developer needs and advocate for productivity improvements
  • Compensation, Benefits & Perks :

  • Quizlet is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Salary transparency helps to mitigate unfair hiring practices when it comes to discrimination and pay gaps. Total compensation for this role is market competitive, including a starting base salary of $165,000 - $225,000, depending on location and experience, as well as company stock options
  • Collaborate with your manager and team to create a healthy work‑life balance
  • 20 vacation days that we expect you to take!
  • Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance (100% employee and 75% dependent PPO, Dental, VSP Choice)
  • Employer‑sponsored 401k plan with company match
  • Access to LinkedIn Learning and other resources to support professional growth
  • Paid Family Leave, FSA, HSA, Commuter benefits, and Wellness benefits
  • 40 hours of annual paid time off to participate in volunteer programs of choice
  • Why Join Quizlet?

    🌎 Massive reach : 60M+ users, 1B+ interactions per week

    🧠 Cutting‑edge tech : Generative AI, adaptive learning, cognitive science

    📈 Strong momentum : Top‑tier investors, sustainable business, real traction

    🎯 Mission‑first : Work that makes a difference in people’s lives

    🤝 Inclusive culture : Committed to equity, diversity, and belonging

    We strive to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome!

    We work to create a holistic interview process, where both Quizlet and candidates have an opportunity to view what it would be like to work together, in exploring a mutually beneficial partnership.

    We provide a transparent setting that gives a comprehensive view of who we are!

    In Closing :

    At Quizlet, we’re excited about passionate people joining our team—even if you don’t check every box on the requirements list. We value unique perspectives and believe everyone has something meaningful to contribute. Our culture is all about taking initiative, learning through challenges, and striving for high‑quality work while staying curious and open to new ideas. We believe in honest, respectful communication, thoughtful collaboration, and creating a supportive space where everyone can grow and succeed together.

    Quizlet’s success as an online learning community depends on a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
