AI Product Engineer at Nerdy

<p><em>Full-Stack Builder • Product-Minded Engineer • Customer-Obsessed Problem Solver</em></p> <p><strong>Overview:</strong></p> <p>We’re looking for an AI Product Engineer who blends the instincts of a product thinker with the execution chops of a strong engineer. This role is perfect for builders who thrive at the intersection of discovery, design, rapid prototyping, and shipping real customer-facing features.</p> <p>You’ll own problems end-to-end — from understanding the customer need to designing an elegant solution to shipping polished, reliable, AI-powered experiences. You won’t be confined to “product” or “engineering” boxes. You’ll do both. And you'll move fast.</p> <p><strong>About Nerdy:</strong></p> <p>At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) -&nbsp; the company behind Varsity Tutors - we’re redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI™ platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale.&nbsp;</p> <p>We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you’d bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.</p> <p>Fortune favors the bold. Join us.</p> <p><strong>How we compete:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>AI-Native at every level</strong><strong><br></strong>From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done.</li> <li><strong>Entrepreneurial velocity</strong><strong><br></strong>Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die.</li> <li><strong>Free-market rigor</strong><strong><br></strong> Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.</li> <li><strong>Full-stack ownership</strong><strong><br></strong> You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.</li> <li><strong>Reward for contribution</strong><strong><br></strong>Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both <strong><em>what</em></strong> you achieve and <strong><em>how</em></strong><em> </em>you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.</li> <li><strong>Relentless exploration</strong><strong><br></strong>Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.</li> <li><strong>Is Apolitical</strong><strong><br></strong>You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.</li> </ul> <p>If you’re a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.
