Job description

At RV Education (EDU), we believe in the power of online learning to create opportunities and transform lives. In partnership with over 300 colleges and universities, we help individuals make smart educational decisions that meet their needs and career aspirations. Our trusted brands like BestColleges serve over 90 million unique annual visitors with educational resources and advice.

At Red Ventures, we believe in building transformative digital experiences that help people make life’s most important decisions. As a Senior Software Engineer in our EDU division, you’ll be a key contributor to the full product development lifecycle — designing, building, and maintaining user-facing features, backend services, and the tooling that connects them.

You’ll work across the stack, with an emphasis on delivering intuitive, performant user experiences that are grounded in clean, maintainable architecture. This role is ideal for a builder who thrives on shipping impactful features, pairing with product and design, and continually leveling up their technical skills.

RV EDU is proudly headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is dedicated to cultivating local talent and driving economic development on the island. While many of our roles are located in Puerto Rico, some are also located at RV’s main campus south of Charlotte, NC, or are remote-based.

As a requirement for this role, the selected candidate must be based in Puerto Rico. We are seeking individuals who are currently residing on the island or are willing to relocate to Puerto Rico. This location-based requirement is essential to foster our commitment to local talent and contribute to the economic growth of Puerto Rico. This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based out of our San Juan, Puerto Rico office with in-office Monday–Thursday and fully remote work on Fridays.

What You’ll Do

• Build and deliver full-stack features that drive real impact for students, using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS services.
• Collaborate closely with design and product teams to develop user interfaces that are fast, accessible, and delightful.
• Build backend APIs and data flows to support rich UI functionality and performance.
• Own systems from design to deployment, including observability, testing, and performance.
• Improve our front-end architecture, design system, and shared component libraries to support scale and velocity.
• Work within a modern DevOps environment, contributing to infrastructure using tools like AWS CDK or Terraform where appropriate — without it being your main focus.
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and mentoring opportunities to help raise the bar across the team.
• Continuously learn, iterate, and bring new ideas to improve the developer and user experience.

What We’re Looking For

• 4–6 years of professional software engineering experience in modern web development.
• Solid experience building full-stack applications, ideally using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, REST/GraphQL APIs, and AWS (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, API Gateway).
• Strong understanding of front-end architecture, state management, and performance optimization.
• Familiarity with infrastructure concepts (e.g., IaC, CI/CD) and comfort working in cloud environments — you don’t need to lead these efforts, but you shouldn’t be blocked by them.
• A strong product mindset and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
• Clear communication skills and a team-oriented approach.
• Attention to detail, from pixels to performance.

Nice To Have

• Experience contributing to or managing a design system
• Familiarity with content management tools or headless CMS
• Background in education, publishing, or other high-scale consumer web domains
• Exposure to event-driven systems or loosely coupled architectures

Benefits

• Matching 401(k) plan
• Flexible PTO
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Casual dress code

We offer competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits program for full-time employees, including medical, dental and vision coverage, paid time off, life insurance, disability coverage, employee assistance program, 401(k) plan and a paid parental leave program.
