What’s the opportunity?

The Learning Insights team’s mission is to show customers of Udemy Business the value they are getting from current learning behaviour as well as highlighting the potential for future value by identifying learning needs and reinforcing a culture of learning. To achieve this, we collect billions of data points, process and present them in a user-facing analytics product with meaningful insights and actionable recommendations.

As a Senior Staff Engineer on the Learning Insights team, you will be acting as a technical lead to design, implement and maintain scalable analytics solutions. You will influence the product capabilities by identifying and driving engineering excellence across the stack - frontend, APIs, data stores, services etc. These features are core to our enterprise offering and our goal is to achieve an Enterprise-Grade level of quality: a delightful insights experience, at scale.

How we work

Our teams have a high degree of autonomy to select the projects they work on. The teams collectively decide on key themes. Independent pods (teams) have the flexibility to make their own decisions and work autonomously. At the end of each month, teams present their complete or in-progress work to the wider portfolio.

While engineers collaborate closely with Product and Design, they also put forward and drive their own initiatives that align with their team’s long-term strategy and many times even Udemy on the whole.  For a peek into what the rest of our engineering team at Udemy has been working on, read our engineering blog - https://medium.com/udemy-engineering.

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.

What’s expected of me?

Our team members have a wide variety of 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!
