The opportunity

Udemy Business helps global companies stay competitive in the digital transformation of the workplace by offering fresh, personalized, and on-demand learning content. Our business offering leverages the marketplace catalogue of over 130,000 courses serving upward of 40M students. We are looking for a full-stack engineer to help us build out and scale up the best workplace learning experience in the industry.

As the engineering manager on the Udemy Business Ecosystems team you will be leading a team of engineers to define and implement scalable, flexible and rich integrations with our partners, LMS/HRIS systems and our customers’ tools. The APIs and services that you will be building are at the core of our growth and expansion strategies as we scale out to tackle new markets and partnership opportunities.

How we work

Our teams have a high degree of autonomy to define their mission, vision, strategy and select and prioritise the projects to work on in order to deliver the business results to our customers.

Our team members come from various backgrounds and we strongly believe that diversity, open-mindedness, and good communication yield the best results. We work collaboratively and cross-functionally, taking ownership of doing the right things and getting them done. We are looking for someone to join the team who has demonstrable experience in some of the areas listed below and a desire to learn and master anything else that comes their way - we are a learning company after all!

Where we work

Over the last 18 months, we have let teams and individuals adapt and figure out how they can be most effective in a remote-first world. As offices in Dublin reopen, we have adopted a hybrid model where those needing the office are welcome to do so and teams are encouraged to align on what works best for them.
