Product Engineer Job New York City area,New York USA,Software Development

Product Engineer

We are looking for a Product Engineer to join our Technology Team and help build AI-enabled education products that teachers, students and education partners genuinely want to use.

You will be joining a global EdTech company, building a suite of AI-enabled products for students, teachers and education partners to support better learning outcomes at scale.

This is not a narrow ticket-delivery role. You will work proactively with educators, leadership, technology and education partners to understand real workflows, challenge assumptions and turn incomplete problems into clear, useful software. You should enjoy taking ownership, developing your own understanding of a problem and improving products through direct learning from users.

What You Will Do

Build education products and product features from early concept through to production.
Work directly with teachers, technical teams and education partners to understand workflows, pain points and priorities.
Turn complex or incomplete requirements into clear, practical and usable product solutions.
Design and build product experiences that integrate naturally with learning platforms and education systems.
Work across frontend, backend, APIs, integrations and data models where needed.
Build prototypes quickly, test them with users and turn successful concepts into reliable, maintainable products.
Work closely with Backend and AI Engineers to make technical and AI capabilities genuinely useful in real education workflows.
Improve usability, reliability, performance and product quality through active iteration.
Investigate issues independently, identify the underlying problem and drive practical improvements.
Use AI-assisted development tools where appropriate to accelerate delivery while maintaining strong engineering judgement and product quality.
Write clean, tested and maintainable code.

What We Are Looking For

2+ years of professional software engineering experience building production web products or applications.
Experience building and shipping user-facing web products.
Strong experience with modern frontend technologies such as React, Next.js, Vue or similar.
Ability to work across frontend and backend, with stronger depth in at least one area.
Experience with Type Script/Node.js, Python, APIs, databases and modern web application architecture.
Solid understanding of authentication, permissions, validation, workflows and data-backed products.
Experience taking incomplete requirements and turning them into practical software solutions.
Strong product judgement and an ability to simplify complex user needs.
A self-driven working style, with the confidence to investigate, propose and test solutions rather than waiting for detailed instructions.
Comfortable speaking with non-technical users and education partners to build a better understanding of the product.
Experience with PostgreSQL, modern cloud platforms and application deployment.
Strong ownership, debugging and problem-solving skills.
Clear written and spoken English.

Nice To Have

Experience building workflow-heavy products, dashboards, internal tools or role-based applications.
Experience with platform integrations, APIs or embedded product experiences.
Experience with data-driven product features, analytics integrations or reporting tools.
Experience with accessibility, web performance, analytics or user-centred product design.
Experience with CI/CD, testing, monitoring or error tracking.
A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction or a related technical discipline.
