**Overview**:
We are looking for a Staff Back-end Engineer in LATAM to join the engineering team! As the Staff Back-End Engineer, you will set the technical direction for high-scale services, mentor engineers across squads, and shape the architecture that powers our learning products, driving reliability, performance, and secure-by-default systems while enabling AI-powered capabilities.

**About Nerdy**:
At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) - 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 integral scale.

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.

Fortune favors the bold. Join us.

**How we compete**:

- **AI-Native at every level**
From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you're not wielding AI, you're not done.
- **Entrepreneurial velocity**
Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die.
- **Free-market rigor**
Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.
- **Full-stack ownership**
You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.
- **Reward for contribution**
Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both **_what_** you achieve and **_how_**_ _you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.




- **Relentless exploration**
Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.
- **Is Apolitical**
You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
