Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world - at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.

We’re a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries. Our intelligent platform replaces traditional textbooks and combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data to help students and teachers thrive, from international schools to US high schools.

• Your work will have a global impact.

• You will work with brilliant, hard-working people who care deeply about what they do.

• You will get better at what you do; everyone is expected and supported to learn and improve constantly.

What you’ll do:

• Build full-stack features using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python with a focus on impact and scalability.

• Apply design patterns, APIs, ORMs, caching, and testing to create robust, future-proof solutions.

• Refactor and improve existing codebases with clarity, simplicity, and long-term maintainability in mind.

• Own small to medium projects end-to-end, delivering quickly without compromising on quality.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and communicate technical decisions clearly.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience building impactful software in a fast-moving product environment.

• Full-stack capability with JavaScript and at least one server-side language such as Python, Ruby, or Node.js.

• A strong track record of owning projects end-to-end, from idea to delivery.

• A curiosity for AI and a drive to experiment with new tools to enhance creativity, decisions, and execution.
