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.
Why Kognity?
Build AI-driven solutions that improve learning.
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.
Deep care for writing clear, maintainable, and well-structured code that scales with the product.
A curiosity for AI and a drive to experiment with new tools to enhance creativity, decisions, and execution.
