Senior Front-End Software Engineer – Bezos Academy

As a Senior Front‑End Software Engineer at Bezos Academy, you will exercise your uniquely imaginative abilities to create inspiring educational technology for kids and teachers. You will have an insatiable curiosity, eagerness to contribute to greenfield projects, and you will obsess over user happiness. Your contributions to product development will both thrill and delight our users and enable our national school network to nurture young children’s originality, foster self‑agency, cultivate a love for learning, and spark joy.

In this role you will share responsibilities for the development and operations of new web and mobile applications utilizing Flutter. You will collaborate closely with other engineers, product management, and data teams to analyze product requirements, contribute to system and software designs, develop client applications that integrate with back‑end services, and operate end‑to‑end applications that cultivate the playful curiosity of young children and their teachers.

You have a track record of delivering web and mobile solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and solve human problems. You can thrive in a start‑up environment where you focus on creating, improving, inventing, measuring, and innovating on behalf of our students and teachers. Above all, you are inspired by our mission to offer tuition‑free, high‑quality preschools in under‑resourced communities and motivated to create the technology to scale our Montessori‑inspired preschools.
