Canada Coursera Full time

Job Overview:

We're looking for a Staff Software Developer, Fullstack to help build the tools instructors and partners use to create, review, and improve courses on Coursera. You'll work across the frontend and backend to design workflows that support content creation and maintenance, often incorporating AI‑assisted suggestions and quality signals. The role sits in our Learning Content Experience organization and partners closely with product, design, data, and other engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain full‑stack features for educator and internal tools used to create, review, and update learning content.
  • Develop and evolve backend services and APIs that support multi‑step workflows, versioning, and content review logic.
  • Build clear, responsive UIs in React/TypeScript that help users understand suggested changes, preview updates, and complete complex flows.
  • Integrate with internal AI and evaluation systems so that model suggestions and quality signals are surfaced in a safe, human‑in‑the‑loop way.
  • Improve reliability, performance, and consistency of existing content tools as we modernize legacy patterns.
  • Provide technical leadership: mentor other engineers, contribute to architectural decisions, and collaborate with cross‑functional partners on product direction.

Qualifications:

  • 6 years of professional software engineering experience building web applications
  • Solid experience across both frontend and backend (for example: React/TypeScript on the front end and Java/Scala/Python or similar on the back end)
  • Has designed, built, and owned end‑to‑end features or systems in production
  • Comfortable designing and working with APIs, data models, and service‑to‑service communication
  • Familiar with modern engineering practices such as code review, testing, and CI/CD, and working in a cloud environment

Nice to haves:

  • Familiarity with AI‑assisted development or integrating ML/LLM‑powered features
  • Experience building tools, dashboards, or workflows used by non‑engineering users (e.g., creators, operators, or internal teams)
  • Experience with more complex, multi‑step product flows rather than only simple CRUD apps
  • Balances long-term design thinking with quick execution on urgent goals
  • Communicates clearly and enjoys working closely with Product, Design, and other partners on shaping the work
  • Has mentored other engineers or played a tech‑lead role on a project
