Everyday Speech is right for you if:

You care about making a positive impact.

End each day knowing that your work had a direct impact on the well-being of hundreds of thousands of at-risk students across the world. Project success means more than just shipping features - it means improving the lives of students and educators.

You value being a part of a company that takes care of its team.

Not only do we have extremely happy team members, we also have incredible perks. Participate in our health/wellness and retirement benefit offerings, and between having every other Friday off (3-day weekends!) and our flexible PTO plan, that elusive work-life balance is an actual thing here.

You want to work for a true, remote-only company.

We’ve never had an office and never will. Our team is spread across 7 countries and 4 continents. We take remote work seriously and know how to support a distributed team. We give you the flexibility to work in a way that’s best for you, but still have high standards and accountability.

You want to join a startup that is growing rapidly *and* sustainably.

We have launched new products, maintained NPS scores of 70+, maintained eNPS (internal, employee score) of 80+, rapidly grown our team, and exponentially increased our user base, all over the last few years. Yet, as a fully bootstrapped company, our growth is organic and sustainable. Our focus is delivering value to students and educators, not paying back investors.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the execution and implementation of scalable, maintainable, and high-performance software solutions. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to enhance our platform, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and observability. Your role will include driving incremental infrastructure improvements, contributing to the development of our technical architecture, and ensuring that our systems are effectively monitored and optimized.

The ideal candidate is extremely values aligned:

● We start with empathy— in the work we do and the people we do it with. Our strength comes from a culture that values candidness, trust, and valuing our teammates as whole human beings. We care, challenge, and communicate. We are serious about our responsibility to educators, who rely on us every day.

● We ruthlessly prioritize. We don ’t just say no to the obvious stuff, we say no to the things that feel important in the moment because we understand anything we say yes to is inherently saying no to something else.

● We create momentum. We don’t let the small stuff hold us back. We learn by shipping. We know most actions are reversible and that action always wins in the long run. If all else fails, bias towards action.

● We are fearlessly objective. We don't do things just because we're "supposed to." We constantly ask "why" and don’t let conventional norms define our efforts. We're not afraid to seek answers, even if that means discovering we were wrong. We focus on what delivers results, regardless of the source.

● We exercise agency. We have the ability to create systems that don’t yet exist to get what we need or to solve problems no one has identified. If something isn’t working, it’s within our control to fix it.

● We’re driven to grow. We set ambitious goals because we want to maximize our impact. We embrace challenges and take risks, seeing failures as opportunities to learn and improve. We seek out feedback and coaching and thrive in environments that push us.

Your work will have a significant impact on our product and the experience for every educator on the platform.

In this role, you will:

• Operate with a growth mindset and an owner’s attitude. We build this software, we run it, and we own it end to end.
• Execute full-stack development tasks, with a focus on Angular, NestJS, Postgres, and event-driven architecture.
• Implement and maintain logging, monitoring, and alerting systems to ensure our platform is observable, using tools like Datadog.
• Drive incremental infrastructure improvements, optimizing for performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver the highest-quality SaaS experience available to educators and students.

What We’re Looking For:

In addition to values alignment…

• Curiosity: We’re a team of lifelong learners trying to be better every day.
• Communication: Strong written, visual, and verbal communication and collaboration skills with cross-functional teammates and other designers.
• Technical Expertise: Strong experience in full-stack development. Our stack is Angular, NestJS, Postgres, and event-driven architecture; we'd love to talk to you if you have similar or equivalent experience.
• Problem-Solving: Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
• Observability Skills: Experience or interest in setting up and maintaining logging, monitoring, and alerting systems, preferably with Datadog.
• Familiarity with agile software development processes.
• Experience driving incremental improvements in codebase patterns and architecture.
• Experience with AWS services  (or equivalent), including EC2, RDS, and Kinesis, and an interest in containerization.
• Familiarity with Accessibility, Content Management Systems, and Content Delivery is a plus!

We know great candidates come from a wide range of backgrounds. If you’re passionate about what we’re building at Everyday Speech, don’t hesitate to apply—even if you’re not sure you meet every qualification.

In the short term (the first 3 months), you will:

• Onboard and become familiar with our codebase, infrastructure, and development practices.
• Lead the development of a critical feature or service, focusing on execution and delivery.
• Establish strong working relationships with team members.

In the long term:

• Lead technical initiatives that solve real problems for real people.
• Collaborate on the design and implementation of future-proof solutions across the codebase.
• Set the standard for what good code can look like, and mentor/coach others to do the same.

Keep a strong product-focused eye on how we design, plan, and execute new engineering work.

Salary: $135,300 USD annually, plus performance-based bonuses, paid out twice per year.
