About The Position

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer within our Research & Development group at Strategic Education Inc. (SEI), you will sit at the center of a high-impact innovation hub.

You will divide your expertise between building mission-critical SaaS applications for our partners and leading special R&D initiatives that push the boundaries of EdTech. Whether you are translating complex business needs for Sophia’s learners or experimenting with agentic systems for Workforce Edge, your work will directly enable economic mobility for adult learners globally. Why this role is unique: Multi-Brand Impact: You provide the technical vision for diverse partners like Sophia Learning (low-cost, high-quality ACE credits) and Workforce Edge (employer-sponsored education), ensuring their technology is as innovative as their mission. R&D Autonomy: A significant portion of your time is dedicated to special internal initiatives—exploring emerging tech, rapid prototyping, and developing custom tools that keep SEI at the forefront of the industry. Workforce-First Focus: You are building technology designed for the modern career landscape, focusing on scalable, high-quality solutions that serve both adult learners and global employer partners.
