CodePath is the largest educator of college computer science students in the country. We've trained over 40,000 students from 1,000+ universities, and our partners include Amazon, Google, and other leading technology companies. We've spent nearly a decade training the next generation of technical talent, and we just launched a $150M initiative with Anthropic, building one of the most ambitious AI workforce programs in the world.
We're now expanding into new markets and scaling our team so we can move at the speed AI is transforming the workforce. People joining CodePath now will have the opportunity to help architect the next frontier of our work.
We believe technical skill is the fastest way to turn raw talent into real opportunity. We train the engineers the AI era runs on, building toward millions of learners, hundreds of millions in revenue, and billions in economic impact. If you want to own something and be part of a 0-to-1 journey at an organization moving at the speed of AI, this is the place to build it.
About the Role
Location: Remote, United States, Europe, Canada or LATAM
Role-Type: Full-Time
Reports To: VP of Engineering
Compensation: $170,000 to $190,000 per year for US based applicants. Adjusted contingent on location for applicants based in Canada, LATAM, and Europe.
CodePath’s educational programs run on our sophisticated learning platform, a set of Ruby-based applications with functionality spanning admissions, course delivery, grading, career coaching, and reporting.
We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who can lead at multiple levels at once: the architecture, the product direction, the team's capacity, and the longer arc of where we're going. You'll move fluidly across the full technical stack, from infrastructure decisions to greenfield product work.
This is a high-ownership role. You'll work directly with stakeholders to understand what students and staff actually need, participate in deciding what gets built, and then lead the execution. You won't be handed a ticket queue. You'll shape the work.
The ideal candidate for this role is a web engineer inspired by potential projects like these:
Building brand-new functionality in Rails and beyond to create sophisticated and powerful new tools for our users and extend our reach to new kinds of learners we’ve never been able to serve before
Reimagining core platform components as we migrate them from Sinatra to Rails
Integrating AI/ML technology into our platform to support mastery-driven, adaptive learning
Scaling a system that has helped tens of thousands of students to help hundreds of thousands more
Architect and build web applications across Ruby on Rails, Sinatra/Padrino, and Django that directly support our mission
Make consequential technical decisions on infrastructure, data modeling, API design, and emerging technologies with full ownership of the tradeoffs
Set the code quality bar through reviews, architectural guidance, and constructive feedback
Write automated tests that reflect real edge cases, not just coverage targets
Identify performance bottlenecks and systemic issues before they become outages
Mentor other engineers and raise the technical ceiling of the team
Familiarity with Claude Code or similar development tools and related best practices
A systems-thinking orientation: you consider scalability, maintainability, and failure modes before writing a line of code
Reasonable working familiarity with the full web stack, from infrastructure to CSS
Demonstrated ability to lead technical decisions in a small, autonomous team environment
Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain a technical tradeoff to a non-engineer without losing what actually matters
Passion for education and desire to make a positive impact
Nice to haves
Familiarity with higher education or edtech
Direct experience working with LLMs and generative AI in production
Familiarity with Docker, Ansible, and/or Terraform
Experience deploying on GCP
